Might as well start a new thread. All welcome regardless of your goals, just keep moving. Everything counts towards your totals. It's amazing what you can accomplish in a year, how far you can go and all the things you see en route.

Much better for walking today. Up to the old circle and then a bit extra, 13.5 km

50 mile spin along rural back roads with grass down the middle in places. I came back along the canal and spotted a fox sunbathing on the opposite bank.

Lots of early 6am & evening dog walks this week as DH had to isolate so walking 2hrs a day left me little time & energy do much but got a couple of longer rides in and some sea swims so updating totals.

Down the hill to the river, got very horseflied at one point (they went preferentially for DH> DD > me) and it was warmer than we'd expected so we didn't do the circular walk we'd planned. Nice though. 6.9. Km

Have done almost nothing recently but don't want to fall off the thread. Tricky situations with work/DCs but I have my charity walk on Saturday so need to get out once or twice this week at least .

@drspouse You'll be fine, if you can three-quarters of the distance you can certainly manage the full distance. I hope the weather is good too.

It's supposed to be dry, not too warm and a little cloudy (so, perfect really!) but who knows if that will pan out...

Just another 5.5 km swimming here. I'd hoped to do some runs last week but only had evenings free and just too hot.

Up to the AONB, a lovely route including down the estuary with a perfect breeze in our faces - just nicely on the refreshing side of balmy.12.7 km

New boots for me - bought last February when foresighted DH had a think about what things that required going to physical shops we'd be lost without. My old ones are still fine but DDs - which saw her through silver and gold DofE and more - broke yesterday. Fortunately her feet are similar enough in size to mine for her to borrow off me. And her old boots can probably be fixed for a bit longer with epoxy but they needed a good wash and then time to dry.

Good luck @drspouse I hope the walk goes ok.
Got out for very humid 5k run testing out my sore hip hoping it holds up as not run for 9d on it.

9k walk this evening, lovely night for it. Really need to do some stretching before bed though.

Just 4 km. I'd checked the weather before I left at 10, it said dry till midday then rain solidly all afternoon. At 2km it started to spot and the skies looked very heavy so I headed back. And of course it then stopped and the promised rain (which the garden needs) hasn't materialised yet. It's forecast for tonight now.

Dog walk this morning and nice pool swim tonight managed to get a lane with just one guy and we were same pace.

Early 5k but still flipping hot n humid I’m really not a fan of this weather. Now off to walk the dog. Happy Wednesday

Early 4m run - I’ve got a new watch and it’s set in miles so I may try that for a bit. I set off to do 5k but decided to do 4m which is 6.25km I think. Had to Jeff the last mile due to knee/IT band still niggling.

And DONE.
It was only 7 and a bit but then I had 2 more miles back to the train station!
Eating cake.

Well done!
We had a nice 10.4 km walk today, shorter than planned because we could see rain approaching but we avoided it.

I'm short on distance this month, a combination of too hot/too wet/too busy/too lazy/ Dd being home disrupting our normal regime. We're hoping to get out a bit more next week - maybe a bit further afield.

I haven't been keeping track of my totals, need to go back and add up.

Another slack week, 2.5km swimming and a negligible amount of walking at puppy pace.

Should be getting into a bit more of a routine now so hoping to fit at least one run/longer walk in this week as well as at least 2 swim sessions.

July was my lowest total this year but still another 814km to my total. The second Moderna vaccine knocked me for six for about a week but I still did a 200 mile ride mid-month and a 150 mile ride yesterday.

Well done @drspouse on the charity walk, that's a long day out!

Picture of a lovely 1700s thatched cottage from yesterday, there are plenty of them in North Dublin.

Tried to do a 6m run this morning, first 3m went ok, got to 4m with mix or walk/run then had to admit defeat as muscle down side of knee just getting to hurty/niggly walked further 1.5m then got DH to collect me to reduce doing any more damage. Ice pack & foam roller and no noticeable issue now? I’m thinking IT band & have a sports massage booked in 2wks. But I’m really worried as I’ve got 6wks till my trail half adventure and at this rate I may not even be able to walk it (which was always my easy I thought, back up plan with a 6hr cut off). I really don’t want to cancel as the hotel is booked & we are making a wend of it with my sil.

Oh, that's tough.

Heavy sort of a day here, we've just had a 5.1 walk to the next village and back. The road is closed because of pipe laying at a waterworks so it's really quiet at the moment .

Evening!

Finished off July with lots of swimming supporting a friend doing a swim run event. Maddeningly I was aiming to get to 100k swum year to date but finished 850m short after feeling unwell on my last swim on Saturday

Swim 99.15km
Cycle 3,748km
Run 883km

Doing the C2C this week with DH and DS, love a bike packing trip!

That's a shame, but still an awesome swimming total IMO!

A nice 6.6 k along the next river up.

Well done on the swim that’s a fab total & hope you feel better soon @FrangipaniBlue

Walked up a very steep Welsh hill today 7.5m but took 3.5hrs with kids & dog and lots of bracken bashing as we lost the path. Happy I had no knee issues though!
