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?

2.3k walk today, Runkeeper didn't start but I looked at GoogleMaps and put it in manually, it says 8.4k so far.

GwendolineWindowlene · 04/01/2021 17:13

Did you press start at the beginning? It only restarts if you've stopped walking temporarily (or dropped out of signal), it won't automatically kick in just because you've started walking at the beginning of the day, IYSWIM.

drspouse · 04/01/2021 18:03

I did, now it seems to have recorded the first part, crashed, and then I started it again so all good.

Back to back meetings today but managed to grab half an hour to do a quick 5k in the rain! Not particularly enjoyable but got me out of the house.

Longer run tomorrow - might be snowing...

Run1000km2021 · 05/01/2021 05:59

Oh well done everyone!
I’m catching up on the news from last night - Will this mean all swimming pools are shut...?😢

TriSeaSwim2021 · 05/01/2021 07:21

Yep all pools shut again Sad I had a lane swim booked today & Thursday. I feel blessed I have sea swimming close by but it’s getting too cold & polluted at times now to do much proper head in water swimming for a decent length of time.

drspouse · 05/01/2021 10:14

I already got my refund for my swim booked on Friday (we were in Tier 4 from the 30th). Really sad about that and about DD swimming lessons (I dreamed that her lessons were open again, that's how sad I am!).
I did open water swimming over the summer (the sea is not bad in some spots near us) but it's soooooo freezing and at £200 for a swimming wetsuit and £100 for a dry robe, ain't going to happen.

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 05/01/2021 14:03

Please can I join in? I've set myself this very target on Strava for this year, plan to do a combo of walking, cycling and swimming (when the gyms reopen!) I can't run, joints are knackered. Currently waiting on delivery of an Echelon bike which is going to help!

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 05/01/2021 14:09

PS 22k cycle and 1k swim managed before gym closed so 977 to go.

Run1000km2021 · 05/01/2021 14:37

I’m an open water swimmer too, I occasionally “dip” in winter in my wetsuit but there is no way I’m putting my face in the water to cover any great distance at the moment.
So I’m stuck with running...

Day 5 of RED for me, 979km to go! (21 down)

ErrolTheDragon · 05/01/2021 15:31

10.9 km

28.2 walked
9 rowed

drspouse · 05/01/2021 15:38

My bike is fixed and ready to come home - drop off tomorrow - it's still pretty icy though so may leave it till next week to cycle. 3km today just to physio (I'm doing very well apparently) and to pick up the DCs' thermal vests.

LaLaLanded · 05/01/2021 16:02

Hope everyone had safe runs/walks/cycles/etc today!

17km this morning - very fresh and a bit drizzly but better weather than expected so that was a win.

TriSeaSwim2021 · 05/01/2021 20:31

Yoga and a dog walk today so nothing to add to my totals as juggling work and home schooling again. Hope to get a run in tomorrow & probably some Joe Wickes PE with the kids before work.

Running 19km
Swimming 0.3km

TriSeaSwim2021 · 06/01/2021 10:29

Cold early 5k run this morning and dog walk so 10,000steps ticked off before work & home school juggling begins.

It’s a struggle over here with childcare and work but I managed a quick one this morning

letsnotscaretheneighbours · 06/01/2021 13:28

3rd 5km of the year done today

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 06/01/2021 14:01

3.6k walk today so am now down to 973k. Just took delivery of an Echelon bike which is going to add some good mileage for me hopefully!

ErrolTheDragon · 06/01/2021 14:41

7.4km, including crossing a hard-frozen field which is usually a quagmire. It allowed us to get to the canal on the non-towpath side - the canal is usually a favourite walk but the towpath just isn't wide enough with runners and occasionally cyclists.

35.6 walked
9 rowed

drspouse · 06/01/2021 16:03

3.5k in two bits today.
