Run / Walk / Swim / Cycle 1000km / miles in 2021 here we go again!

[TriSeaSwim99]

Third year for me aiming to be as active as possible most days. So join me in setting a goal and keeping on track by logging on here . I’ve set a 500mile run target this year to be realistic as I’ve nursed foot issues most of 2021 which really curtailed my running miles but sea swimming and trail running have developed into my passions. What’s your challenge this year?

8.5 km, glad we came home a bit sooner than we'd planned as just as I'm sitting down with a nice hot mug of tea we had a short but very hard hailstorm.

Courtesy of Storm Christoph, there are now some ponds and lakes in our village, one complete with swans and ducks where usually there's fields. No sign of houses being flooded fortunately.

87.4 walked
16.5 rowed

4.5k walked, to a shop that was really full so then I just went and picked DS up from school!

The good thing about logging walking is that there's no such thing as a wasted journey any more.

Yes! And I got to listen to my podcast.

@HapHap you can do it! What’s the longest you’ve run so far? I find it helps to divide it into 5, 5ks in your head and I have a different music set for each. Sort of refreshes the brain I guess rather than one long slog.

10.1km easy run for me this morning before work - lovely weather, very chilled. Finding this thread very motivational - if I post my aim for the next day I think of having to dodge the thread if I don’t do it! So... 10km tomorrow hopefully!

170km/2021km.

4, not 5, 5ks! Adding on unnecessary kms there sorry...

Ha Errol, missed the hailstorm comment, DH went out while DD had Zoom Beavers and it started just as he got to the end of the road!

Hello all! @HapHap! A half marathon distance by March is definitely possible! Have you got a training plans?

How’s everyone finding running in Storm Christoph?! Yesterday morning the weather changed so much during my run, it felt very exciting! I’m a 104km in now😱

104 done
896 to go!

18.99 miles of walk done this week! Still not been able to start Couch to 5K, ankle is still playing up and I'd rather not risk it!

Walking: 47.82/1452.18
Running: 0/50

Managed 4.75km run home after nursery drop off this morning. I have to run first thing or I will procrastinate all day until it is too late.
35.88/964.12 (have taken out all toddler walking and logging that separately)

7.8km. Again, we'd planned further, but just as we passed the end of our cul-de-sac to carry on the other way it started pissing down. Lovely sunshine before that though.

95.2 walked

3.5 km walk with DD to the park.

Sunrise SeaSwim this morning had to scrape the car as -3c but it was a fab swim in the calm after the storm.

I had been getting jaded with the same old running routes, especially as the wet weather meant a lot of the trails just weren't doable (clay soul round here). So was lovely, but bit scary with ice, to run around our nearby "sea" side town (Severn Estuary really) for a change while I got the kids guitar repaired.

60/940 miles

Running 80/920

4.5 k walked, some with the DCs over some lovely snowy fields and then just now a bit more on my own. I'm over 70k now.

I think Mumsnet ate my last update...

10km yesterday, 15km today. Might be snow tomorrow and my treadmill has a plug issue so isn’t working... so will need to think about what to do... maybe break out the trail running shoes for a short snow run

195.4/2021km running

128miles walked. Off for day walk today. I'm the snow

Managed to hurt my ankle last week (I suspect I increased my mileage too quickly and was running on old shoes), so I have had to have an enforced rest which was annoying. Also I am managing my expectations for mileage going forward, I don’t want to end up not being able to run at all so I will be taking it slowly for a while.
I did a gentle 5k on the treadmill this morning with a new pair of trainers, it was slow but I made it more interesting by varying the incline. It felt like a decent workout so I am happy with that.

55.9 run/944.1 remaining

Beautiful 10.5km trail run this morning with snow and ice and mud to dodge around.
