All welcome

Wow, Amy, you'll be needing new shoes!Grin

@ErrolTheDragon thankfully I have a few pairs of good walking shoes! The distance is purely because my LB loves being in his pram, so we will walk into town and back which is about a 7 mile round trip as well as shorter walks in the woods at the back of our house.

We took our elderly dachshund out today - he's been generally happy enough in the garden for the last couple of months as he won't walk through the village (too boring). As we avoid our normal walks on bank holidays anyway we just drove him to the nearby playing field and then a bit down the lane - he CBA to do more than a kilometre. So I made it with 4 on the rower.

Sorry dropped off again 🙈life keeps zipping past in a blurr of kids/work/juggle repeat... but I’m running a bit, cycling more and had a couple of short swims in the sea. Really missed swimming as rehab to my running. Great to read everyone else’s achievements. Had early 7k run this morning plus a couple of 20k bike rides over weekend & off for a sea swim later if swell hasn’t picked up too much. Bit sad my running distance is half what it was this time last year but body just been creaking too much.

I'll admit to a bit of Envy at sea swimming - I'm not a serious outdoor swimmer but I grew up in a seaside resort and love being in the water. Our bit of coast is rubbish for swimming anyway unfortunately.

A very nice 9.1 km today - we braved the steers, who've settled down now.

DD and her BF (who are with us doing their uni projects) took a break so we did a lovely 12.5 km walk this morning.

Very unpleasant encounter on a 2k with DS this morning.
I hope it hasn’t made him to nervous to run again.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/05/2020 19:33

Oh no... was someone nasty, or a dog?

Inniu · 27/05/2020 20:05

Both

thenewaveragebear1983 · 27/05/2020 20:12

Oh no @Inniu , hope he is ok

I’ll find out next time we go running. He does get anxious.

Basically a guy used his dog to force us on to the road because he thought he needed 4 metres of space rather than 2 metres.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/05/2020 21:35

I've just seen your AIBU thread... a rare case of everyone agreeing YANBU. What an absolute arse. AngrySad

Inniu · 28/05/2020 14:05

I just did 5k this morning. It should have been 10 but it was way too hot. I am going to have to start getting up earlier or figuring out a way to run in the evening.

It was a lovely run by the river though with loads of space to avoid people. Restored my calm after yesterday.
The minimum loop on it is 5k though so too long for DS.
