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.

It's lashing rain and strong wind here today - I think it's going to be one of those days that the front door doesn't even get unlocked.
Just 3.7 yesterday, time squeezed by needing to fetch my car from the garage and a blood test.

Seaswim today with friends, just ten minutes as the wind was icy cold but in the sun sheltered from the wind it was lovely sunny day. Won’t add to totals as it was more of a bob and chat than swim Smile

Another 250km ride through the mountains and plains of East Leinster. Beautiful day, sunny with banks of clouds on the mountains. The average temperature was -1°C but the roads were either gritted or thawed by the time I reached them.

Looks beautiful @TheLongRider I’ve never thought of visiting that part of the world but it looks lovely

You should run cycle tours for sure!

TheLongRider · 06/12/2021 10:13

There is an excellent cycling guidebook for Ireland that has some good route choices. threerockbooks.com/cycling/
I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of cycle touring over here.

I’ll bookmark that for a Holiday in a few years time when youngest has grown enough to be left behind Grin

A short blast out on the bike today was really cold gusty wind so just 14km but good to get some dry fresh air.

It’s taken me a bit too long to find this thread Blush
Well done everyone.
I’ve been trying to get to 1000 miles walking this year, and am nearly there.

Better late than never!Grin and you'll be here when we start the 2022 thread. Well done - you're very close to a thousand miles.

I don't think I'm going to make my 2K kilometres - we can do cold, and we can do wind, and we can do damp... but not in combination, wimps that we are. I've no excuse for not making it up on the rower though.

Thank you! Grin

Did another walk today and now have only 5.8 to go.
All that rowing is amazing, I can do about 2 minutes then have to have a rest. The wind here recently has been a nightmare so I know what you mean.

Tried to run further today but my back is being tricky so just 4m today but plan to go swim later to see if it helps.

I'll join the niggly back brigade. It's been bothering me since the long ride. I went for a 5km run yesterday with no problems but it's aching just over the left hip and I can't seem to sort it out.

My physio is away until early January.
