I WILL WALK/RUN 500 MILES🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️🐕

[Buddy34]

So as of tonight I've reached just over 500 miles on LEJOG4 and I'm at Gretna Green. Todays run and dog walks were in 50-60 mph winds but not cold in the slightest.

Happy Halloween 🎃 all

Happy 🦇 Halloween to you Buddy34 and "welcome to Scotland" good title to your post, Gretna Green is where my neighbour, the owner of Holly got married 👰, congratulations on completing the first 500 miles of LeJog🏃🏾🚶

Thank you 😊

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Wowee! Amazing total Buddy34 ! Sounds like you had some bracing winds there today too - well done! 🙂👍

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks 😊

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Woohoo!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great effort, glad you got back to Scotland before restrictions tighten in England 🤔 amazing how these miles add up when counting walks and runs. Happy running 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Just made it Grannyhugs. On the news tonight England going back into lockdown for 4 weeks.😊😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Just hope all our measures in Scotland have been having a large enough impact. Your area’s been in tightened restrictions for ages, hope you are coping.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Its the not visiting my mum and dad thats a bit rubbish. Other than that getting out to run i think is really helping😊👍

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I really can’t see how these restrictions are helping the older generation, hubby has seen his parents only a handful of times since March as they are in a care home. They and many in the home have had COVID. They were allowed 1 visit outside once a week until they moved to level 3 - shocking way to end life. I’m grateful for the freedom of every walk/run/cycle I can do.

Fantastic, happy Halloween.

[Speedy60 Graduate10]

Well done. Pop in and see my son on the way through Moffat. I don't know when I'll get to see him again. 😔

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

My sister is in Moffat - I grew up nearby! Looking forward to getting that far - but that relies on me updating my mileage (not done since 11th). Funny to think your son and my sister probably know each other!! 😯

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

We come from down in the south west but my son works in forestry management. He actually moved to the other side of the motorway in woodland just outside Beattock. He loves the outdoor life, especially mountain biking. Lovely part of the world. 👍

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

It’s is beautiful! I’m down south now too but try to visit regularly. Not managed it much this year though!

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Great progress buddy - you're clocking up the miles 🐕🐾🏃‍♀️

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Well done Buddy... storming along 😉🌬

[Runningroni Graduate10]

Amazingly well done. That is some achievement in a matter of weeks.

Go you. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Banana12 Graduate10]

Well done you! I’m a fair bit behind you on LEJOG. I’ve been on IC with a bit of a hip thing but getting there very slowly. See you at the finish line...eventually 🥴🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Banana12]

Hope you're feeling better soon 🤗

[Over62]

Fantastic achievement Buddy34 especially in those bracing winds. Keep getting out there for mind body and spirit in these very testing times.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

Very testing indeed 🤗

[David_G]

Well done Buddy34, I’m also doing LEJOG4 but I’ve only got about 285 miles. I’m trying to run all the way so I know it’ll take me a bit longer. We’re all doing it our own way for our own reasons so I don’t compare myself to everyone else🙂👍

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Good not to compare to anyone else . Good luck 😊👍

[Slinkymalinki Graduate10]

What a fantastic achievement! 👏🎉 You must feel like the finish line is within reach now. Hope you can maintain your walk /runs over the coming weeks. 🙂

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Slinkymalinki]

I'll be out there hail, rain or snow😊👍

[TailChaser Graduate10]

Congratulations Buddy!! Huge distance! 👏👏👏

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That’s a long way Buddy, i see your runs on strava and then see your walk later the same day, when we run we barely move the rest of the day, we need a dog but i promised myself not until i retire

Happy Sunday

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Good idea for retirement 😊👍

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Great job! The way things are going down here I may get to Scotland and decided to stay!! We’re trying to sell my parents old home but that’s not proving easy with 2 of the 3 of us in the south!

[CBDB Graduate10]

🙌 woohoo 🎉! Nice!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10]

Great progress, almost able to give the family a big wave as you pass by.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

👋👋

[Fionamags Graduate10]

How fantastic - you have nearly run home!!!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Not far away 😊
