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?

30K bike ride, getting there for the 50k.

Early cloud cleared to another gorgeous day. Just 5.8km by the river, with bluebells coming out well on the south facing slopes.

689.9 walked
40 rowed

Took bus to next village and walked back along part of the long distance path that runs through both villages. Glorious, warm morning, lots of skylarks singing overhead.
6k.

Beautiful blue sky but very windy day ere. Went out early for a mixed trail run 11k in the end.

Running 283km
Swimming 14.8km
Cycling 546km

Rest today after my long ride yesterday.

Another lovely sunny day, a bit cooler. 10.6 along the canal with DH this afternoon and then an evening 4.8 with DD to see the deer, and a peacock, which she'd not realised lived at that farm.

705.3 walked
40 rowed.

204km around my County's boundaries today. That brings me up to 341km for the week and over 900km for April. Tired now!

2.75 km swim today. Hip has been bothering me again so cried off the running. The physio had said 6 weeks so still early days but was feeling so much better midweek

21.8km total swim

Wow @TheLongRider that’s quite the ride, well done!

Done a couple of really nice long runs over the last few days, am at 715km for the year now.

@TheLongRider - wow! great day for it. How's your bum?
I did a few runs in the week, then litter picking on Saturday. Now I've got a sore back so not much action for me this weekend apart from drinking too much in the park . Hopefully back eases up soon or I'll be back to old (bad) habits!

That is an impressive ride @TheLongRider. Are you allowed "out" of your county yet?

My bum is fine! Well fitted cycling kit and a touch of Sudocrem and I'm fine. It was a lovely day apart from the easterly wind, I'm like a sun-dried tomato despite SPF 50.

We're allowed 20km into the next county from our home, that also gives me a reasonable chunk of the Wicklow Mountains. I saw my first swallows yesterday.

@ErrolTheDragon - sounds like a glorious day

Wow longrider that’s an epic ride on a beautiful day, well done. Is Ireland a lot quieter on the roads? I went out at 8am and still had to stop several times on quiet lanes for cars in the Devon. But we’ve seen a big increase in cars in last two weeks as loads of people come here on holiday. My DH used to ride a-lot but after busting his shoulder from a car hitting him off his bike, the physio just said it was inevitable he’d get knocked off again at some point he’s switched to trail running now as he feels safer which is such a shame as he loved cycling.

As with most places, it is possible to find quiet routes, or certain times of day. If any of you are ever over here or want some good route suggestions, drop me a PM. I can give you decent ideas from 20km to 600km+. @Ringsender2 if you haven't been to Glenasmole in Tallaght, it's beautiful, like a part of Kerry 5km from The Square!

Canal again, 8.4 km and 8 ducklings.. DH had time for half a cup of tea before heading out again to take DD to the river and bluebells. She's got the first of her uni final exams tomorrow so her wish is our command.

I forgot to update my total
713.7 walked
40k rowed

Had a really good swim session at lunchtime swimming my first mile in a pool for well over a year. I wasn’t even going to do it but realised there was only two of us left in the lane with 10mins left so I may as well carry on swimming . Really glad I re-joined our main pool as the booking app limits numbers but at the moment isn’t full on all sessions yet.. so I can chose a session only a couple of hours ahead. Last year I was having to book 2-weeks ahead which is tricky at times with a busy schedule.

2.45km swim this morning, then a 5km walk back from the garage after I noticed a chunk missing from a tyre. Then just about to do 5km on the bike to go pick up the car again!

Nice to get back in the sea tonight for a short swim as the strong eastly winds had finally dropped off.

14k ride with DS and Cubs..DS rode about half the way on his own, which he did really well but got tired/cold. He has sensory issues and won't wear gloves 😥

Another 10km run for me yesterday, I’m finally starting to see real improvements in my pace through upping my mileage.

I also swam my longest continuous pool swim yet yesterday! 1.5km of front crawl without stopping. Fel great.

Running total: 730km

Oh and I skinned my knee and have a sore ankle (one of those mystery injuries).

8.1 km. more ducklings.

721.8 walked
40k rowed

Just 2.5k walk to the library and back.
