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.

Lovely picture @TheLongRider and vey cool you can go so far with zero traffic lights Grin the only time I’ve ever managed that was in Texas years ago.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/10/2021 23:07

That is lovely - I must have been totting up my figures as you posted, I didn't see it till now.

8.3 yesterday along the canal I knew I'd probably get caught by some rain on the way back but I'd not expected a sudden burst of wind, blowing leaves horizontally. Fortunately I was fairly shielded by the hedge during the worst of it. DH said there had been a mini tornado which had lifted the garden table several feet and flipped it, the chairs were well scattered too.

Today we checked the weather and headed a bit down the coast to a coastal nature reserve - a large sand dune system, partly covered in pine and birch woods. Lovely with the sun through the trees, plus a few rainbows. 12.4 km

5.5km in the village, with pauses to let traffic pass through floods in a couple of places to avoid getting soaked by their swash.

I can't remember what I said my target was though 😂

FrangipaniBlue · 01/11/2021 22:53

I had a scroll back, looks like I said 8,000km Confused

ErrolTheDragon · 01/11/2021 23:53

In which case as we're 10/12ths through the year, you're a bit ahead of the game I think.
Awesome, anyway!

tizwozliz · 02/11/2021 09:00

Still under the weather, so no swimming. Walking in the fresh air seems to help though

Run/Walk 709km
Swim 133.2km

My swimming goal is now totally out of reach, need to check what I did last year to see if that's maybe a revised target to work for. Going to see if I can get my run/walk total to a 1000 by the end of the year though.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/11/2021 14:49

8.9km by the estuary of the next river up. There were some dramatic clouds and rainbows, but we escaped the rain ourselves.

12.9 among the dunes again today, brilliant sunshine and very clear - could see the Welsh mountains as well as English ones. And yesterday 9.1km up at the ANOB. Making the most of this late autumn weather before it breaks - fortunately my part time hours are very flexible and meetings tend to be late afternoon or evening anyway as the rest of the team is in the US.

Have had some lovely walks this week, can't wait for pup to get older so we can walk a bit further. Have discovered lots of new places that will be walkable from the doorstep once we can take pup out for longer walks
