We are on holiday and staying in a hotel with a gym, so I went to the gym for the first time in decades quite a while and did 4km on various different machines (mainly the cross trainer).
Total 525.5km.

@ErrolTheDragon Errol, are you sailing? Not so good for the step count but fun.

I managed 1k swimming in the sea on the mornings when it wasn’t too rough and we walked enough to top 10000 paces by mid afternoon most days. Added 4.5k swimming.
Also Pilates where I felt a bit inadequate due to the other woman on the course looking like a film star or model.

24.5k walk, 152k ski, 12.5k skate, 57.5k bike, 28.5k run, 86.5k row, 6k swim
TTD 367.5

Unfortunately not sailing - we used to do that quite a bit but haven't since DD went off to uni in 2017. We were doing an Inland Waterways course, ahead of a holiday on the Broads in September with DD and her BF. He's not done any boating at all so we want it to go well, and in order to (hopefully) have decent facilities we've booked a rather large boat (44ft I think) - so we thought we should brush up our skills as we've not done that sort of thing for over 10 years and in either somewhat smaller boats or a narrowboat.

It was good fun, we were staying in Lincoln which is a lovely city, good to catch up with DD and it was definitely 'messing about in boats' rather than walking weather!Smile

Oh I’m sorry to hear about your dog.

Regarding the Broads, my memory of several happy sailing holidays there as a child was that it was good to know what to do when you had run aground.

We’ve been to fitness training, but no real mileage here.

Tarahumara · 19/08/2022 19:43

Ah sorry to hear about your dog, Errol Sad
