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.

Well done!
We're having a pre-Xmas house cleaning session, it's not very nice outside anyway.

I've cycled over 400km this month already with the Rapha Festive 500 still to come. Yesterday I cycled along the southern coast of Dublin and took a meander out to the lighthouse at the entrance to Dublin Port. The granite barrier pier was bumpy as heck to cycle over on skinny 25mm tyres.

Oh bad luck. Our adult daughter came home on Monday, developed a sniffle after our cold walk on Tuesday...I can hear noisy blowing from her room now but so far her LFTs have been negative so we're hoping it's just a cold. It's only the 3 of us anyway and all our shopping is done so we can hunker down if needbe.

SkiRun0077 · 24/12/2021 13:51

Thanks, my younger DD has had cold all week (negative LF), and eldest seemed the same but then tested positive 🤷🏻‍♀️ now DH gone to bed with headache Arrh. We have plenty of food so happy to hunker down if needed just hope I’m ok as there’s nothing worse than being ill at the same time as rest of family as you just don’t get any rest. Hope you guys stay healthy.

(I can't see me getting in ~45 km of walks in the next few days so I'm glad I did that bit of rowing earlier in the yearGrin)

SkiRun0077 · 28/12/2021 19:26

I’m now covid+ so that’s my totals for the year Sad was supposed to be starting a group running thing early January but not sure I’ll be able to now 💩

ErrolTheDragon · 29/12/2021 13:03

Oh bad luck. Hopefully you'll be clear not too far into January.

Meanwhile, I'm very glad I got to my target on Monday, as yesterday I started with the sniffles - I think it's 'just a cold' (-ve LFT yesterday , DD had a cold and tested negative throughout) but I've got a sensitive schnoz which bleeds at the drop of a hat and doesn't like temperature changes so I'm staying in the warm.

SkiRun0077 · 29/12/2021 16:31

Hope your ok too errol both my kids had “colds” just the eldest tested positive then I had the “cold” but then tested positive and felt like crap today Sad so take care. Well done on your totals mine kinda slid a lot compared to last year hoping I can pull it back this year!

TheLongRider · 31/12/2021 19:07

It's the last of the year and my total activity for the year is 9,530km (5,921 miles) across cycling, walking and running.

That's more than double last year's totals.

Yesterday I cycled from my house in Dublin to the city centre of Belfast 200km/125m. I took mostly back roads and you couldn't tell where the border between ROI and the UK is on a road apart from the change in road and street signs. I was cycling along one road where the left side was UK and the right hand side was in the ROI.

Chocolate Santa came with me but didn't make it to the end

Argh @SkiRun0077 that's rotten luck and hope you're not too poorly?

I wasn't too ill when I had it in November (still not great mind) but it really knocked my fitness!! I lost time off both my swim and run pace, only this week started to get back to anywhere close and even then it's only over shorter distances Sad

This has meant I'm 399km short of my target I set for the year but I can't be too disappointed as I've still managed some pretty hefty totals......

Swim 🏊🏼‍♀️ 187km
Bike 🚴🏼 5,953km
Run 🏃🏻‍♀️ 1,461km
Total = 7,601km

Happy New Year Everyone, see you on the other side!!!!

ErrolTheDragon · 01/01/2022 09:34

That's some awesome totals!

Good thing ROI and UK both drive on the leftGrin

We need a new thread... if no one else wants to start one I'll do it when I get back from my NY walk.Smile

ErrolTheDragon · 01/01/2022 14:00

Just finishing off my 2021 entries with data from my Apple Watch. Apart from the distances properly logged as walks below, my daily averages for the year were 12,1264 steps, up from 11,062 in 2020.
Walking+running distance (I assume estimated from the steps)
8.6km , up from 7.9km in 2020.

8.6x365 = 3139km

tizwozliz · 08/01/2022 16:19

Just squeezed over the 1000km with walking and running at 1011.5 for the year.
