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.

6.6 along the canal - the vegetation has been given a much-needed trim.

My summer so far has consisted entirely of booking swims and other things at the sports centre and then not going.
Booked a climbing session for DS (but we went last week and he refused to go on) and decided too late to cancel that we'd go to an NT place today. Really exhausted on the way back so also skipped my booked swimming, am having a glass of wine 🍷 instead.

Back from our Welsh adventure and ran a leg testing 5k last night. I’ve been doing squats everyday, upto 100 to try and support the knee issue. Hoping it helps!

Too much work this week, but got out today for a lovely 9.6 km with an exhilarating wind coming in across the bay. It wasn't the route we'd planned as about quarter of the way round we came to a field of cows with small calves and a massive bull and decided discretion wasn't the better part of valour. But the alternative worked out well anyway.

Another 150 mile ride around the County of Kildare. Everything from 10th Century High Crosses and a hogsback Viking Grave stone - it's the only one in Ireland, there are many in North Yorkshire. Also there has been a good harvest of wild giant marshmallows. Wink

Park run plus yesterday well I tried to do 5m but ended up walking a mile as bloomin leg/knee pain kicked in yet again so so fed up with it. Hoping the therapist I’m seeing tomorrow can help. Also swam in pool last night and sea this morning after cycling there.

Cool ride longrider well done.

Finally got out for a ride with DD on the tandem, 15k.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/08/2021 16:44

Just a slow 4.5 km, but it was a proper 'country walk' with our 15 yo dachshund, who this time last year was recovering from slipped disc surgery. (Slow on average, the dog was doing a good trot or canter on some of the flat or downhill grassy paths). And it suited poor DH who ricked his back in some way at the weekend.

Pool swim last night, slightly annoying as they’d advertised a hour sess but I got kicked out at 45min mark plus I not got there at start of the session thinking oh it’s always quiet in last ten mins I’ll make the most of it!

Between DD being home, DDs back, taking the dog out more and work deadlines my walking has gone off a cliff. Similar happened last year around this time, come to think.
She's leaving tomorrow, moving into her house with BF ahead of them starting their jobs in September so I must try to get back into gear.

I've not posted in a long time. Between getting married, school holidays, returning to work from maternity leave I just don't seem to of been very active these last couple of months. And what I have done I haven't tracked. So going to try to get back to it.

Just a couple of km yesterday as we are on holiday and I popped out from the cottage for an evening stroll.

Managed to get out for a nice 8.4 along the canal today. A waterside cafe has opened up which is nice - I think we may be heading that way more often.

Parkrun Saturday and a cycle down for a early seaswim this morning but a definite autumnal chilly dew this morning meant I wore gloves on my bike then it hit 25c by lunchtime!
