Yes, I clocked on Fitbit that it was solid ‘fat burn’ and almost as many calories as running. I will definitely try it again next time I do a rest day, plus as Ds is now three I get the added benefit of pushing the weight of a small calf around!

SkiMum99 · 23/11/2018 21:09

Had fab swim clocked up 1600m a mile just got in the zone and kept going Smile May do ParkRun tom depends on how heavy the rain is as the forecast is very bleak tom all day...grrrr

Drizzly Park run this morning Smile it’s the only way I can motivate myself to run faster so I’m treating it as my “fast” run of the week.

Stuffed with cold Sad grrrr kids bringing bugs home from school.. it was perfect weather for my planned 10m run on Monday as well Sad instead I made chicken soup & sorted out some Xmas presents. hopefully by the weekend my mojo & clear sinuses will return.

LtGreggs · 27/11/2018 22:26

Just found this thread as I'm thinking of a 1000k running challenge for 2019. You lot are a total inspiration! Well done all - so impressed that so many of you are totally nailing it Grin

I've set myself a 20k per week strava challenge - reckon if I can do that most weeks until Xmas I'll give the whole of next year a shot.

SkiMum99 · 28/11/2018 07:44

Welcome Ltgreggs I’ve been using a free colour in trainer off line which is pinned on the fridge and the kids keep reminding me how far I’ve gone or got to go Grin www.eagl-s.co.uk/free-download
I guess we will need a new 2019 Thread soon and a finishing ceremony Smile

thenewaveragebear1983 · 28/11/2018 18:14

7km this evening, with a rotten stitch all the way round, I actually walked some of it which I haven’t been forced to do for months. Grrrr.

1440.5/ 59.5

LtGreggs · 28/11/2018 20:55

I've just sent the 1000km trainer to my sister to print for me as a stocking filler!

SkiMum99 · 28/11/2018 21:47

Stitches are crap. I rarely get them now but did the other day, it’s normally if ive eaten with in 1.5hrs or going too fast. At least you got a good distance in.

SkiMum99 · 28/11/2018 21:48

Glad you liked it Ltgregg Smile I need to do a new one soon

thenewaveragebear1983 · 29/11/2018 06:52

Skimum I seem to get them if I run later in the day, I normally run faster and I think if I eat anything that seems to be the cause.

Just realised I hit 86k in November Smile I’m pleased with that as it’s been a slow re-build again since injury. I’ll aim for 90k in Dec and hope holiday season doesn’t derail me too much Grin

28.03 miles of walking done this week. Not quite what I wanted, but I've been home a lot as my LB has the most awful cold and has been incredibly fussy!

892.67/107.33

26 miles a week for the next 4 weeks will see me hit my target. I'm aiming for a big mile count this week as we are moving soon, so I'm walking all the stuff I don't need to a charity shop!

SkiMum99 · 03/12/2018 14:04

It’s hard this time of year with little ones who seem to pick up every cold going amy. Your doing really well, hope the move goes ok.

Long run Monday, Pilates class then 17k / 10.5m run Smile now need a salt bath soak before school run & after school Activites. Slow cooker is on so hopefully tea is all sorted as we get back late on Mondays. Plus a 8k v.muddy walk with kids at wend.
