After doing this in 2018 a new thread for new folk to join the 2019 challenge. Pick your target, log your miles and see what you can achieve whilst encouraging each other Smile Anyone want to join me?

Tri it's getting there although I have a muscle ache today from Pilates on Saturday. I need a sports massage I think. I am racing on 6th October so for now I'm just coasting but from September I need to be getting faster!

Well done Amy, hope your pace is ok bear, I’ve given up on pace at the moment it’s gone with my mojo on holidays 😂I know I can work on it again in the Autumn. Did 45mins on turbo bike this morning whilst kids on tablets.

Amysaurus well done!

34.49 miles of walking done this week, best in a while! Had a few long walks over the weekend which helped a lot!

1237.21/262.79

I'll easily reach 1500 by the end of the year. I've decided not to increase my target, instead I want to see how much I can beat this target by!

6 km this morning, finally getting my pace back up after a very sluggish month

17km Cycle ride this morning instead of ParkRun as it’s kinder on my back at the moment, and it was a lovely morning.

Early 10k run before the heavy rain hits & DH went off to work. Back still sore but got much needed sports massage later which hopefully will release it.

Quick 25mins on turbo trainer on bike as back really sore but the bike normally helps release the SI joint. Guess 10km on the bike based on the timing.

Tri it's odd isn't it? I think I overdid it in July because I kept thinking I should run when I can in case I can't get out in the heat, so then it's probably just my body rebelling on me! I have a race in October so I'm allowing my mojo some slack for now, but come September I will need to be training!

80sMum · 13/08/2019 09:59

I'm getting there. 777 miles walked so far. 223 to go!

TriSkiRun99 · 13/08/2019 09:55

Ditto bear my running mojo has most definitely gone on its holidays this last few weeks. I can’t be arsed, I was going to cycle this morning but it was raining hard so I stayed in bed Sad I’m trying to keep the swimming going but as youngest DD now has injury that’s stopped her swimming for few weeks that’s harder to do on the days I’m not working as it’s school hols. I know my running should come back as weather cools, I’m far more a winter runner, it’s quieter with a lot less tourists around Grin

Well done Amy it’s tough when lo are ill. We ended up at A&E last night with my youngest getting stitches which mean she can’t go in a swim pool for a min week, which in the school Hols is where we normally end up 3x a week Sad but it could have been worse so small blessings. Evening swim tonight once DH got home. Gd 1.2km. Must run tom as really neglected the runs recently.
