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.

Short 3k after it cooled down. Look who was out, completely oblivious of our presence.

There must have been something tasty they were snuffling out.Grin
Great photo!

Down the hill from the country park to the river valley and up again. It seems to be a route not many others have thought of, and avoided the motorway and crowds. 6.9 km

Walked loads over the weekend but really poor mobile signal means Google Maps thinks I was on a ferry/walked 70km etc. So I won't be adding to my total.

TheLongRider · 07/06/2021 23:28

I had my first Moderna jab on Friday evening and my left arm was so sore for 48 hours. No cycling for me, I did do a 5km walk to the shops and back yesterday.

Hope the arm feels better now @TheLongRider, my arm was sore for maybe 3 days. All better now.

Short run yesterday to blow the cobwebs away.

963km of running

78percentLindt · 08/06/2021 11:23

8k this morning . I spent a few minutes watching a red kite but fumbled a picture and then it was too high.

78percentLindt · 08/06/2021 11:25

Dunno what happened with picture there that is Grumpy sheep from the farm next door who was snoring in the shade

ErrolTheDragon · 08/06/2021 12:11

A contented Grumpy SheepGrin

Not sure what I'll do today. We'd promised our old dog a trip to his favourite gardens today, but fortunately checked the traffic and found there had been a motorway incident so we took him to the nice park in the next town instead. He did very well, but at 15yo dachshund pace, with lots of sniffing.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/06/2021 17:59

So... I gritted my teeth and 5km on the rower

935.6 walked
45km rowed

Well done, that 1000km is visible on the horizon.

Hope your jab doesn’t knock your energy out @TheLongRider.

Lovely evening for a spin with the ladies we did 34km. Plus I’d done 7k earlier for a lunchtime seaswim.

I have no further jab reactions at the moment so I did an easy 40km spin to the west of the city yesterday.

8k to and from work, it seems to move around Hmm.
Managed to book swimming at a different pool after no luck with the usual one. Had to ring 3 times as the man on the desk said "our web booking system is totally broken".

TheLongRider · 10/06/2021 13:42

Another 40km around west Dublin including along by the river Liffey and a section of the World War I Memorial gardens.

7.8km round the next town up between an eye test and my first haircut since last February Grin

Swimming and walking this week brings my totals to

440.2 km Run/Walk
76.4 km Swim

I've only actually swum 5.8 km this week but discovered that if I log my swim kick separately on my Fitbit it discards the auto tracked activity, so my total tracker was not correct. Really irritates me that you can't amend the total distance.

ErrolTheDragon · 12/06/2021 00:01

7.4 km evening walk.

950.8 walked
45km rowed

ErrolTheDragon · 12/06/2021 15:22

We woke unusually early so were out of the house a bit after 7 - glorious 12.8 km on the limestone, which has wonderful wildflower meadows. And after a lifetime of avoiding such places at this time of year due to bad hayfever, DH seems to no longer be allergic to grass so is absolutely revelling in it!Smile
