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?

Organised groups with a leader can have 12 I think but our beach was very busy last night even a big 30+church group zero social distancing doing a sea baptism event. Police drove past did zero. Crap loads of litter everywhere this morning when I went down for a swim why are some people so selfish!

Cycled down for my swim it was lovely and quiet at 7am

Swimming 10km

Same starting point as yesterday, but our walk took us up to the estuary with splendid though hazy views across the hills to the north. 12.9km

542.5 walked
40 rowed

We are meeting either side of a bridge and then going round in groups of 6.

Messed my figures up somehow but just recalculated, another 5km done.

Running total 537km - 200km done this month!

Just 4.5 km today, more of a stroll through woods than a proper walk.

547 walked
40 rowed

1k walk to see some lambs with DS and 7k bike (this week is "easy week" in my plan:).

Cycled down for early morning swim bit Misty this morning with a nip in the air.

I've decided to put off swimming in the body of water near us that is now open as the temp is 7!

Quick question - is anyone part of a running club? I’m considering joining one, mostly for the social aspect and some new routes. Pros, cons, thoughts??

I’ve done 15km and a 11km this week - taking me to 656/2021km running.

Aiming for another 20km over two runs, at the weekend and maybe a short cycle ride with DS.

Yep the sea is 7-8c drspouse it is amazing how my body has acclimatised over the winter. It’s at it’s coldest point now though. I have been wearing boots/gloves/hat & a wetsuit jacket since Dec as although I can go in my costume only I can’t stay in that long. Off for a longer bike ride in abit & May swim on way back.

Great 50km ride this morning with a couple of other ladies. Flipping cold first thing wind chill icy but sunny by the end.

6.6km in the village, it's never worth going out on the main roads or motorway on a bank holiday weekend IME.

553.6 walked
40 rowed

5k walk near an NT place we were at today.

14.64 miles of walking done this week (ending 28 March). It would have been way more but I had my first dose of the Covid vaccine and it knocked me for 6....spent 2 days in bed!

Waking: 255.91/1244.09
Running: 0/50

10k walk in the peak district, beautiful day which was great as it wasn't what was forecast. Hardly saw any one else, far less busy than our local path. It's so nice to be able to go a little bit further afield again.

180.75km total

Evening all!!

I keep forgetting to check this thread 🤦🏽‍♀️

Went for a very windy/choppy lake swim last weekend with friends for my birthday, very little swimming was fine due to laughing and just having fun in the waves 😂

The lake temp is steadily climbing and we are up to NINE DEGREES tonight so managed 1km!!

Swim 16km
Bike 1,442km

Flipping freezing swim after a nippy cycle down to seafront. Frost on the garden so I shouldn’t have been so surprised.

3k so far today cycling. Went to join my first group ride in months and found I had a puncture. Had to walk to bike shop, they sold me a new inner tube, but couldn't repair for a week, walked home, DH put rack on the car, drove back, got bike, have now mended it and put the tandem attachment on to take DD out later.

Ah no! That's really disappointing. There will be other days though.

What a shame.

Another lovely day here, better than expected. We went further in a direction we'd not gone before and then looped back including for the first time in ages a quiet section of the canal towpath. 10km exactly.

563.6 walked

5.4 km run this morning. Fastest I've ever completed that route which surprised me as it felt hideous.

186km total

DD and I did 16k so all good. She's 6 and a demon peddler.

DD and I did 16k so all good. She's 6 and a demon peddler.

Brilliant! I bet she's got a real sense of achievement.

She kept telling me off for being a slowcoach! She was unclipped for a while but I attach her back on for traffic and she "helped me get up the last hill.

Pleased to say , I am back walking. The telephone physio appointments with the second physio have worked a dream. I managed 39K in March, a huge improvement on 9K in February. I managed a speedy 4k on my own yesterday. I had been out with DH and one or other of my DSs until now and they have been strict about going slowly. I didn't even think I was moving quickly, so the time was a surprise when I got home.
So, total for the year is 180K. Not sure I will make my 1250 target, but I am leaving it in place for now!
