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 Smile. 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?

@Run1000km2021 congratulations on your half marathon!!! Brilliant work - glad it felt awesome. Runners high - totally a thing.

@drspouse hope you don’t have covid - fingers crossed!

I ran a very easy 15km in the snow today. I was torn between going quickly and minimising the time in the cold (my hands suffer terribly even in gloves) and doing the run I needed to do, which was an easy, light pace. Did the latter - worth it.

Sorry I missed your update run1000km well done on the half it’s such a great achievement ⭐️

Run1000km2021 · 08/02/2021 07:08

Thank you @TriSeaSwim99 and @LaLaLanded YES runners high is a thing and I definitely had it😂
Might need to start stretching though as my calves are still really tight today😳

TriSeaSwim2021 · 08/02/2021 11:38

Quick cycle before home schooling delights and a dog walk plus some yoga stretching today.

4km of brisk walk up the local hillside. A buzzard floated above us on the wind. Light, spitting snowflakes on the wind.

drspouse · 08/02/2021 13:19

Negative thank goodness, especially as it means DS can go back to school tomorrow. Might make it to the library later to take back the books I couldn't take on Friday but otherwise it's a day indoors for me I feel.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/02/2021 14:16

Whew, that must be a massive relief drspouse. Good you were able to get tested and have the results so quickly.

Just back from 10.2 km walk, mainly sunny with just some light snowflakes. We just had a bit of thicker snow but it's not settling, it's about 2° here today.

193.7 walked
26.5 rowed

Well done everyone. you all sound like you're doing brilliantly.

I did 54.5km in January as we had very heavy snow and then rain so the off road paths are completely inaccessible and the pavements are packed. There's a lovely path through woodland which I use a lot in summer and goes through a tunnel under the railway line. That tunnel was invisible, so the river is about 8 foot higher than normal Shock.

Of that 47.5km was running, the rest was walking but I didn't track all the walks.

I've done a bit more since so 62.7 /750 running so far.

A sprinkling of snow on my 7km run this morning.
Lovely dog walk by the river yesterday.

An hour on the turbo this morning watching graupel drift past my window. 24km sweet spot work with one-legged drills.

drspouse · 09/02/2021 15:35

Nearly 5k walk at lunchtime, very light dusting of snow!

Run1000km2021 · 09/02/2021 16:01

Another 5km for me! 202km down, 798km to go🤩👍

ErrolTheDragon · 09/02/2021 16:35

@ErrolTheDragon 9.9!!! Didn’t you feel the urge to run up and down your street until your watch says 10, or is that just me😂😂😂

amysaurus87 · 09/02/2021 18:05

My watch reads to 2dp, I'm happy rounding to 1 dp, and don't feel compelled to get to a round km distance. After all, 100m is colossal if the unit of length you use most often is the Ångström.Grin

(Though i did do a little bit extra at the end of last year to get to 1800km. )

TriSeaSwim2021 · 09/02/2021 20:57

Too cold and rough for my seaswim fix last couple of days, just a dog walk and yoga today as working and homeschooling juggle.

@ErrolTheDragon😁😁😁

2km walk around the local park on icy ground, then 45 easyish minutes on the turbo trainer.

When I have to do a recovery workout when I won't be sweating buckets, I put some hair mask on so that it has time to work before my shower. Lovely, soft swishy hair for the rest of the day.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/02/2021 16:12

8.1 km. those oddments balance out.Grin

Early 5k run this morning and a chilly but fun bouncy seaswim/dip with my equally bonkers friend.

Really fed up. I did 120K in January towards my 1250 target. Went into town last week with DH when he went for his C19 vaccination; did a quick walk through the nearby park and provoked my old Tib-Post issue. Doing the exercises from a couple of years ago 3x daily, and icing it etc. Looks like 4-6 weeks rest, so much for wanting a change of scenery and walking somewhere free from mud!

ErrolTheDragon · 10/02/2021 20:55

That really does suck, 78%

Hope it mends soon.

drspouse · 10/02/2021 21:06

Oh that's rubbish!
I literally did not go out of the house today so I did a 30 min no jumping workout. I might want to do that one again (unlike the last one).
