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.

Another 200km/125 mile ride today up along the East coast from Dublin to a little place in Louth. Lovely weather, mostly dry apart from the odd bit of coastal drizzle, 13°C average temperature and little wind.

The navigation is easy, keep the sea on your right on the way up and on your left on the way home.

I was trying to beat the sunset home but it was fully dark by the time I got back. Morning and evening shots for comparison.

Run/Walk 753.6 km
Swim 133.2 km

I think I might finally be well enough to go swimming again this week, although a bit worried in how much fitness I've lost. I'd like to get that up to 150km by the end of the year. Need to keep an eye on my run/walk distance too, need to do 38km a week to hit 1000 by the end of the year

Dropped off a bit as life been a bit hard. Just had pool swim plus a seaswim and ride so updating totals.

Evening!!

So my totals haven't gone up much since I last posted on 1 November (I've still been here lurking!!)

We went on holiday so I had a week off but then I caught covidConfused so until this week I haven't ran or cycled for 3 weeks and it's a month since I swam indoors and 5 weeks since outdoors!!!

Today I ran and went for a swim in the snow though, so zen has been restored Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 29/11/2021 11:17

Bad luck, glad you're recovered and ... are you completely mad?!Grin

We tend to be quite cautious about ice nowadays so I didn't go out yesterday and unlikely to today. DH is good about using the machines in the garage - I've not been able to summon up any enthusiasm for them for months. I did do Pilates this morning at least - I do like being able to do that from the comfort of home with no travel!

SkiRun0077 · 29/11/2021 11:46

Well done @FrangipaniBlue great you can get back out again & I hope your health recovers quickly.

Slowly re-finding my running my mojo, a slow 5m/8k this morning but I do love a cold frosty winters run.

So...we decided to brave it; contrary to the forecast when we set out, a fine sleety drizzle started as we returned. Fortunately no driving wind! 6.6 km

No snow near us just the cold wind. Braved a 5k before work this morning but was rather slow again. I think I’m battling the re-bound of the head cold again that DH has Sad
