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.

That’s brill @drspouse I hope he enjoys many more rides.

Seaswim tonight millpond smooth under an eerie grey sky though.

drspouse · 29/06/2021 22:37

He did really well, he's very anxious when you ask him to go for a ride but enjoys it when he's out there.
We've booked to go on a Let's Ride family ride on Saturday but I'm not sure I'll manage to get him out TBH as it's quite early.

Cycled down for a seaswim at lunchtime, if storms stay away I hope to run later as well.

A 200km ride for me today with an average speed of 25.1kph. Beautiful weather and of course a humongous ice-cream halfway round.

Another nice garden yesterday, and one planned for tomorrow - I'd booked the day off as we were going to be driving soon for celebrations after DDs graduation on Saturday but the weather forecast and covid have put a kibosh on that. I ought to do something today....

drspouse · 01/07/2021 16:30

7K walking today as I had the day off.

That magnificent ice cream is well deserved!!
TheLongRider · 01/07/2021 23:47

It was great, kept me fuelled for the next 40km or so. I ride to eat ice-cream!

I do it for the beer stops Grin

Cheeky 11k ride just now - I was supposed to be on a group ride but the leader yard texted to say I was the only one still coming so I cried off and went on my own.
I have been complaining I have no friends and nobody to talk to but I don't find I have much in common with this particular person!

drspouse · 03/07/2021 09:48

(And I didn't put it on Strava so the leader couldn't see)

ErrolTheDragon · 03/07/2021 23:08

Another lovely garden yesterday. We did quite a lot of walking including a fair bit at exercise pace but I wasn't logging it.
Today some on our machines - 5km on the bike, not very comfortable, I'd not noticed the length adjustment, need to bring the saddle closer to the handlebars than where DH had set it. And 2.5 on the rower.

That’s an awesome icecream longrider

Had a short 20k ride yesterday still nursing my sore wrist it’s been two weeks now think it’s going to take quite awhile to mend as I don’t bounce like I used too Sad Just spotted my total should have done an extra 2km ..

I've hit over 100km swimming and over 500km running/walking with last week's efforts. Likely to not achieve much this week whilst this little girl settles in

Awww...Grin

We've had a bit of a disruption to our normal routine with my 'holiday' last week and then some other stuff (DH did a heroic round trip to get the first half of DDs stuff now she's finished uni). Lots of gardening and good Pilates this morning, I've not turned into a couch potato but I do need to get started on my second half.

drspouse · 05/07/2021 19:40

3k walk up a hill and back down - just going to try and keep up with 3k every day as much as I can.

drspouse · 05/07/2021 19:41

Oh what a cutie tiz!

TheLongRider · 05/07/2021 20:37

Now that's a cute puppy. I hope you have many happy years together.

@drspouse Can you join another group if you don't like the current leader?

Well done on getting to July everyone, whether you're some way, halfway or have exceeded your expectations you should be proud of yourself. Keep going!

Cycled into town and had a morn trail run/walk with our one year old pup. Slowly training her to run with us luckily my trail run pace is similar to DH walk pace Grin she’s too young to run his pace but happy to be off lead with lots of treats at my pace.
Super cute tiz hope you survive those early weeks ok we have a similar looking pup.

Right I've signed up for a 9 mile charity walk at the end of the month. Shock
Time to find a training plan!

drspouse · 06/07/2021 12:48

7.5 k walk this morning, a good route that I'll use again I think.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/07/2021 19:21

We were going to have a longish walk in the country park on the hill, but when we got there it started raining and DH had forgotten to bring a coat. So plan B was the canal, but the path is rather overgrown, so we ended up just doing 4.7km.

Seaswim & Cycle this morning and pool swim tonight. After a week looking after poorly DD (relived her covid test was negative), it was good to get out today.

DH woke early, so brought me tea at 5:20, pointing out I quite often say we should get up earlier in the summer. So, we were up at the AONB by 7:30 and home by about midday after a lovely 15.2 km walk.
