As the first thread is on 998 I thought I’d better make a new one before adding today’s mileage!

7k yesterday.

My DH just finished the C25K so we are going to do 5k tomorrow. Hopefully we will not fall out over it. He usually cycles.

Today is 7 C, drizzling and very overcast - not even slightly tempted to set foot outside. Whether I can motivate myself to get on the rower remains to be seen.

I'm walking not running!Grin so the length of walk may be determined by random explorations on local walks, or encountering exceptional mud or unfordable streams. My watch gives the distance to 2 dps so rounding to one makes sense to me.

Do you run in miles errol? It would drive me a tiny bit errr if my runs like yours finish at a 0.1 or 0.3 Grin I have to round them up or down to closest 0.5km 🤣

Grey gloomie weather for a 5k “parkrun” route with a friend this morning that I’d not seen for a while. Hoping I’ve inspired her to get back running again as we used to do parkrun most weeks together but she stopped running much when lockdown hit.

I think the start of the year had a few walks with the dog included but the old boy is pretty much down to pottering now.

7k this morning.
I think I would have to start including my dog walking to get to 1000km by the end of the year!

That’s brilliant errol massive achievement well done (sorry I didn’t see the post on Monday).

Quick functional 5k early in dark drizzle just to keep on track with HM train plan. Little concerned my foot is aching again 🙄that’s what stopped me running in the summer.

I might manage it if I make all my runs 10kms!

7.8 round the village yesterday, and a lovely 12k this morning - we got up early to be sure of parking and did a new section (across a very muddy field) linking one of our favourite walks with the top end of the river valley.

Good fast (for me) 5k this morning still 2mins off my parkRun pb but given I’ve hardly run since July I’m pleased with it. Start a 12wk countdown to HM next week so really need to plan in 3x runs a week again. Had a bumpy seaswim after the run but was too rough for much proper swimming good ice leg cool down though 😂

5k today and 8k yesterday, total 887.6km; for the first time this feels doable!

TriSeaSwim99 · 19/11/2020 22:10

Impromptu but flipping cold windchill swim at lunchtime today only stayed in 10mins but was errr refreshing Grin planning to run tomorrow morning if it’s not raining too much before work.

The 5k limit must be a pain, I'm glad we don't have an arbitrary limit in England. Our good walks which allow for decent social distancing all start a bit further than that from our home.

A lovely 12.4 km today, the river in full flow - we had to stop just short of where we'd been aiming for as the usually small side tributary wasn't fordable.

I went into the sea in October but haven’t managed November yet. The sea is within my 5k limit but the friend I go with lives a bit further away so can’t go. We are hoping our 5k moved to anywhere in your county in December so might get back then,

It was 10 degrees colder this morning than it was on Tuesday so my run was a lot quicker.
