I'm struggling at the moment, my mojo has abandoned me!

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

80sMum · 13/08/2019 09:59

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

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/08/2019 11:09

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!

1.2km swim tonight, really needed the head space it was good.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Amysaurus well done!

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.

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!

I highly recommend a regular sports massage, I’ve been going to the same place on/off for 12yrs. I try to go every 4-6wks and it’s worth every penny to avoid my back locking up on me. I’ve sadly learnt the hard way with my discs in my back that like to bulge every couple of years and cause endless nerve pain for months unless I try catch it before it goes.
