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?

5km again today, total 85 km now this year. Had to avoid swallowing flies on today's run, not expecting that in February.

drspouse · 22/02/2021 18:52

3K today just to/from town and school. Had an eye test and they are referring me for my eyelid to be looked at which may mean a small op which would stop me straining to see (and it makes you look more wide awake too so not a bad thing).

TheLongRider · 22/02/2021 20:38

7km walked this afternoon, lovely day but we're due 24 hours of rain tomorrow.

SSwimCycle21 · 22/02/2021 21:39

Double sea swim today, and a 5k run plus some yoga fitted around home schooling on my “day-off” Smile

Took advantage of the rare sunshine yesterday, the Lake was a toasty 6 degrees so managed 850m!!

Also found out tonight that it looks like the triathlon I've been training for since the end of 2019 (cheers Covid!) is going to be on!!!

Run1000km2021 · 23/02/2021 06:34

Ohhh@FrangipaniBlue that’s exciting!!! I’m hoping to do my first triathlon this year!

301km/1333km

Foresttheout · 23/02/2021 08:34

Good news about the triathlon @FrangipaniBlue.
Walked 8.5km over the weekend putting the total to 77.5km
Thinking the goal might have to be revaluated to 500km in the year if I can't get back to running soon. Also considering buying myself a bike

FrangipaniBlue · 23/02/2021 08:55

Get one booked @Run1000km2021 but I feel I should warn you, it's an addictive hobby Grin

tizwozliz · 23/02/2021 09:40

I've just discovered our local decathlon is still open. Off to hunt for shoes!

SSwimCycle21 · 23/02/2021 10:01

Ooh I’d love a local Decathlon but we don’t have any within 2-3hr drive. Enjoy your retail fix tiz
Yes Triathlons can get addictive, Run1000km2021. I’ve only done one full sprint but about 6/7 Go-Tri level pool ones, plus I’ve got my first sea swim sprint a rolled over entry from last year hopefully in Sept, plus one in May also rolled over from last year but not sure that will go ahead yet. My oldest DD also does the kids ones she nearly beat my time last year Blush this year she will I’m sure at the mini-sprint for 13-14yr.

Windy 5.5k run fitted in this morning.

Well, slightly useful in that it confirmed the asics I was looking at probably aren't going to be right for me. Nothing else suitable. But I did pick up some new running tights, means I can't use the excuse of not having washed stuff in future.

I originally had goals of sprint distance triathlon at 30 (completed), olympic at 40 (last year so didn't happen!) and half ironman at 50.

FatLadySang · 23/02/2021 14:33

6km first thing this morning. Hoping to be able to run again tomorrow as this pesky cold seems to be finally gone.

drspouse · 23/02/2021 14:47

4.2k with DD on her (overly speedy) little bike.

TheLongRider · 23/02/2021 19:02

28km between walking in the stormy rain and turbo training this morning.

Inniu · 23/02/2021 21:51

A 5k and 7k run. 14k dog walking

TheLongRider · 24/02/2021 17:04

17km bike and 5km walk with DD.

drspouse · 24/02/2021 17:24

A massive 1k today after dropping DD and before a meeting. Did a low impact HIIT workout later though.

SSwimCycle21 · 24/02/2021 17:25

Just a 45min dog walk and 30mins weighted Hitt. Doesn’t add anything to my totals but has made various bits ache Grin.

Kettlebells are my instrument of torture. They get the bits that cycling doesn't, especially my inner thighs and upper body.

LaLaLanded · 24/02/2021 19:18

Hello everyone!

Had a 3-day break. 2 rest days following a weekend HM and then tiredness won out yesterday. DPuppy is still waking in the night - it’s getting better but still tiring.

Anyway the rest days did me good - 17km today with a 10-Mile and 15km PB. Fresh legs! Great temperature too, as the sun started to go down.

drspouse · 25/02/2021 08:13

I only did 15 mins low impact and I ache! But my dodgy hip doesn't hurt any more than it did so that's not bad.

tizwozliz · 25/02/2021 12:53

Another 5km today, although after using a different tracker I found i had an extra .3km so I measured it (i have access to really accurate mapping) and found i've been under recording.

So 5.3km in 31 minutes and 13 seconds which I think puts me under 30 minutes for the 5km :-) Shoes are stuck together with glue and I have a blister on my heel and arch on one foot mind.

So 90km for the year so far, looking forward to adding some cycling in now the evenings are lighter and some outdoor pool swimming at the end of next month!

Inniu · 25/02/2021 13:10

7k run today. Lovely day for running here. Only 6k dog walking in the last few days though.

Walking 208km
Running 170/830

ErrolTheDragon · 25/02/2021 16:56

Tuesday and Wednesday were a washout here - thank goodness for zoom Pilates to stop me ossifying.Grin but gorgeous today and more of the same forecast so I'm actually taking some of the ridiculous number of vacation days I've got to use or lose before April.

10.6 by the river,

Gorgeous afternoon after a rainy morning! 7.6km
And some gardening ... trying to dig a very rooty border.
