After doing this successfully now for 2 years I thought I'd start the 2020 thread

All welcome

Give it a go - you can always do more walk, less run if you need to.

Today we walked out along a local path we've only been along once before and discovered that it linked to another one we'd never noticed. We only saw one other couple across a field so rather than doing a circle bringing us back to the main road through the village we retraced our steps and ended up doing 8.7km

506.2 !

ErrolTheDragon · 06/04/2020 15:48

Similar to yesterday, 8.8 km

Finally after 2 weeks of sitting on a sofa eating bread and chocolate and resting my injured ankle I risked a run this evening.

It was a very slow 5k but ankle feels ok. A bit of a niggle so taking ibuprofen and putting ice on as a precaution.

Glad it's on the mend, but wise to nurse it a bit.

Cut slightly short today because a gate which is always left wide open was tied shut, and the adjacent stile (never used because of the open gate) was completely overgrown. So 4.9 km

Ideally I should be at 255 so I've got some catching up to do...though my total for 2019 was 350 so compared to last year I'm smashing it!

Fullyhuman · 10/04/2020 04:11

Only 5 miles in the last 2 weeks; have suspected Covid and recovering well but s-l-o-w-l-y. I knew I’d be off to a slow start this year as recovering from injury, but I thought I’d be smashing it by April. Ho hum.

ThanksFullyHuman
Glad you're on the mend. We have to reset our expectations in so many ways this year.

Gardening rather than walking today, so just did 5k on the rower.

Lovely 10k this morning, 243/757

Lovely morning here too, through the local fields. Lots of bird life including an unexpected lapwing and a zephyr of bumbarrels (long tailed titsGrin) . 5.5 km
