Yes, it's almost impossible to be consistent through the whole year, what with weather, illness/injury and just life in general. The previous two years I've been fine for the first half, not so good for the second.

8.6km today,

181 km walked.
20km rowed

Happy Monday everyone, one week left of January! The year is flying by already.
I managed a rather rubbish 5.4 miles of walking last week and a slightly better 15.4 mile's of running. I'm already behind my year goals for both. A buffer would be amazing but I'm hoping I get my injury and illness bit over with now and pick things up when the weather is better! Suffering with shin and hip on left side, and sometimes my foot joins the pity party. Think I need to look at my running form and am going to get trail shoes and avoid pounding pavements for a bit. Just a lot of the paths round here become a quigmire due to clay soil.
This year
Walked 21.6/373 miles (50k/month)
Run 50.2/1000 miles

Another 10k
82 km total

One of those weeks where I just felt sorry for myself. On the plus side, DH’s orthopaedic surgeon took a look at my ankle and has sent me off for an MRI, so maybe they can improve matters.
No time, apart from one weight training session and skating (1.5km) both paid for in advance to make me go. I have no idea how my watch measures the skating distance considering this particular rink is indoors, but it feels about right.

Total:
2km walk
19km ski
3km skate

ErrolTheDragon · 25/01/2022 08:46

Thankshope the MRI is useful.

Along the road to the next village today, which is the most efficient way to get our 8km in.

Thanks, me too. It mainly affecting my ability to run which is frustrating as that is my easiest way of getting exercise into what might otherwise be dead time.
Vitamin Ski instead of lunch yesterday. Half classic (found someone about my speed to chase down) and half skating (preferred style but how I wrecked my ankle in the first place). Total was 19km.
2k walk
38k ski
3k skate

Short bike today - 5.6km.
Total 78.4km (25 run, 53.4 bike)

ErrolTheDragon · 27/01/2022 14:00

9.9km today. Unexpectedly windy where we went, and the Bronze Age circle site which was our intended lunch spot was a tangle of fallen and felled trees, which was an unwelcome surprise. I suppose the felling was done in a hurry because the remaining trees were destabilised.

First swim in nearly 4 months today. I don't think i'm going to be able to lift my arms tomorrow.

Totals to date:
Walk 61.5km
Swim 2.5km

Puppy is in season so trying to get out and do some running over the next couple of weeks whilst we're only doing short evening walks with the pup.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/01/2022 23:21

That's an impressive swim!

ErrolTheDragon · 30/01/2022 14:46

9km today. Managed to fall over (I think I wobbled on the path edge) and went down hard on my knees - one a soft landing on the muddy grass, the other grazed on the path. Hmm

231.6 walked

@ErrolTheDragon hope your knees are ok!

Much better week for me this week. Hip has been painful after running so after a short run on Tuesday I did nothing until a 5k on Saturday. It still hurt but I tried a long run with friend today not sure if I'd make the distance. But weirdly the long run seems to have made it feel better?! It's much less sore than after my short runs.
Beautiful frosty morning which made up for getting up at 7 on a Sunday and a gorgeous 11.5 mile run. Longest run in ages and we're going for a test half mara next Sunday. Have events in March (getting scarily close) and May so hoping to PB at one of them!
To date against year goals:
Walk 28.6/373 miles
Run 68.5/1000 miles

UnaOfStormhold · 30/01/2022 16:53

Made it to 101.7 miles run in January, really pleased with that as that's my furthest ever month! Definite feeling that the year is turning towards spring today, snowdrops and crocus out and gorgeous sunshine.

No miles today but I did do an online yoga class Smile

rrhuth · 31/01/2022 06:46

I have had a hectic time and been able to do very little, as have had in-the-home physical tasks to do so I have been a) busy and b) knackered!

I am going to put down 12 miles for the 12 days I did not post so 74.5 miles so far. Now everything has calmed down I can get back to normal.

Tarahumara · 31/01/2022 09:39

Short run before work - 5.2km.
Total for Jan - 101.2km (37.2 run, 64 bike).
