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?

Just a gentle 4.6 today

337.7 walked
35 rowed

Struggling a lot with low mood & energy this last week but did nip out for a cycle to seaswim yesterday. The rest has been dog walks which i don’t track.

Sorry you’re struggling with low mood @SSwimCycle21, well done for getting out there.

Another Half for me, now at 366km of running.

Exactly 8 km today

356 walked
35 rowed

Nearly 4k walk, to Lidl to get pastries for the DCs and DH, they've been to the park but aren't back yet so I'm putting the kettle on, will it be an apple turnover?

Another 5k, 117 total. 5:52 average per km today. Three new pairs of trainers arrived and rejected!

Ended up being a Tri Day as I cycled to next village to have a swim in a different spot & cycle home again, after my beach run this morning it was good to feel like I wanted to exercise again after a week off. Sunny day but the wind chill made it bitter cold.

I did my first ever 10km today. Feel pretty chuffed with myself, as I only started c25k on Jan 5th.

Little dip in the sea too, on top of yesterday. Nippy wind!

@tizwozliz sorry the trainer search still continues! What have you rejected?

Congrats on your first 10k @Ringsender2 - great milestone!

I’ve had three days off - been a bit under the weather but thinking on it I think it’s more that I hit a wall with work, home school, puppy, etc. Just all got a bit on top of me, and I spent my running time in bed. I did a good HM today though, new PB for 15k, 20k and HM. Painful knee afterwards which is odd - hoping that will abate.

501.8km for the year - almost 1/4 of the way to my 2021km goal, which feels good.

Well done Ringsender2 that’s a great achievement.

I felt the same Lalaland hope the rest helped to reset your batteries, and you enjoyed the HM.

Anyone else booked Tuesday off work hopefully both kids will be in school I’m so looking forward to a quiet day.

I have rejected
Two pairs of ASICS I tried on in Decathlon, not sure of model
Pair of Salomon Speedcross (I'm currently wearing some old Salomon crossmax so thought these might be a safe bet but not comfortable)
Some Boreal Taurus, I wear Boreal approach shoes so again thought these might work - these actually fit ok but have a weird bumpy bit on the sole under the heel and feels like you have bits in your shoe!
Hoka Challenger ATR - toe hits corner/side of shoe
Hoka Evo mafate 2 - possibly ok, felt a bit big width ways, might be ok, but too expensive to risk it - if I could have bought direct from Hoka and done the 30 day trial I would have kept them but none of my size in stock so had to get them elsewhere
Altra Lone Peak - these felt like slippers, mainly because my feet don't really touch the sides, don't think I could run in them as too big.

I'm giving up now until stores are open, just taping up my heel instead which is the part that was giving issues as they're worn through to plastic.

Well done on the 10k @Ringsender2 !

I went outside on my bike today for the first time this year, it was bitter cold but thoroughly enjoyed every one of 56km I did

Well done to both Ringsender2 and LaLaLander on your progress.

I was shouted at by the cat this morning who disapproved of the fact that I wasn't stopping my session to feed him. Here's the grump.

188km this week, 10km walking and the rest cycling inside and outside. A good start to March "Tús maith leath na hoibre." (A good start is half the work.)

First 10k run for me too today. I say run, but I still have 20 second walks every km or so after the first 2 k :-)

1 hour 3 including stopping for the train at the level crossing. My feet are wrecked now, blisters on both arches, i expected it tbh, it's one of the reasons I'd been sticking to 5 k runs.

127 km total

I feel your shoe pain tiz I was having foot issues last year tried multiple different shoes. Ended up back in my old preferred NewBalance 880s D width as my go to shoe but trying to get a 8.5 D is like finding gold dust sometimes. I hope you find something that fits. Well done on the 10km.

Did my longest bike ride in this last 12mths this morning 30m with a friend bitterly cold at 8am -1c frosty but blue sky sunshine. Training for our 100km charity ride in June feel slightly daunted at doing twice that distance but I’ve done it before just need to get my fuelling better.

We had a beautiful cold blue sky day here so got the SUP & kayak out for the first time this year with my eldest before back to school tomorrow. Plus dog walk none of which add to my kms, but topped up my positive energy stores
