Run/walk/swim 1000 km/miles in 2020 - the final stretch

[ErrolTheDragon]

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

5k today. 2 days at home with sick kids. I was almost running away rather than just running!

786/224

Hope they get well soon inniu and you don’t get sick too.

Cycled down for lovely seaswim this morning it warm and calm.

8km, 1538.7

Another few longish runs, topped up to 853.4km. 1000km is now sort of in sight!

8km, 1546.7

Couple more sea swims, which I cycled down plus a 6k run has topped up my totals.

Lovely 10.2k today, 863.6km :)

A sunrise 5k run I’ve signed up to a HM in Feb so really need to get a focus back on running again...struggling with run motivation at the moment but still loving the cold water sea swimming when conditions allow. Will try a cycle down to swim at lunchtime so if it’s not too bumpy I’ll have ticked off a split-Tri plus a dog walk by the end of the day

Cycled down for a seaswim bit chilly with windchill trying to warm up now.

bit chilly

I think you're possibly inclined to understatement!
8km today, by the river again after quite a bit of pavement pounding. The cattle all seem to be in now.

I was meant to do “Run in the Dark” tomorrow night but did my 10K this morning instead. I am not a fan of running in the dark on my own.

16 degrees here which is ridiculously warm for mid November.

800/200

Running in the dark sounds like something liable to end up in A&E one way or another to me.

8.1 today, 1570.9

Tomorrow looks set to be very rainy.

21.53 miles of walking done this week. The weather put us off going anywhere this weekend!

1273.58/726.42

It’s my first year errol trying to sea swim through the winter so at the moment it’s relatively ‘warm’ the water is 11c and air temp similar so you don’t notice it much but if the wind is blowing it really drops core temp fast. Too wet n windy this week to seaswim though. So upping my running again. Early 6k, done.

I grew up on the Essex coast. There were always a few ladies (never men!) of advanced years who would have a daily dip. No wetsuits then, of course.

I think they must have essentially pickled themselves in brine.
(I suppose they must have missed some days, such as when the sea was hurling beach huts around)

I’m still in my costume only errol as like you I watched these amazing ladies all far older than me swimming most days through last winter. And thought I should try that I have however added hat, booties, and gloves.

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.

805/195

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.

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

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

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 😂

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.
