Day 75: 3/4 of the way there... did a shed gym circuit session.
Day 74 - feeling like I could be on the cusp of a cold but stuck with it and went for a frosty run in the sun.
@sprootlet - she looks like she could crush your head/other body part between those massive shoulders! I'm not opening that. It'll give me nightmares 🙂
Gave myself a bit of a kick up the bum as I feel I've been phoning it in this last couple of weeks. So tough hour hike with the mutts, Yoga with Ash (I'm sure his are way harder than the other YT Yoga channels I use) and nearly an hour of threshold running on the treadmill. MTB ride tomorrow and then that horrible 14km run Sunday for which I have a cunning plan- half on the treadmill and the rest outside if it's not lashing it down...
@ton making full use of your retirement there.. good numbers!
The last four days have seen me hit about 120km on the turbo. I am tired. I'm killing about 1000 kCal a hit and work tempo has meant my food intake has been limited to about two coffees, a food box and some toasted cheese each day. I needed to lose the weight though and that is my primary driver in cycling as much as possible, so it's all good.
I plan on resting tomorrow unless I feel like hurting myself more than usual. Maybe I'll walk around Ikea or something instead.
I'm a bit behind on updates...
The weather has been all over the place, snow one day, minus 10C the next, then +10C today. It's been hard planning activities!
It had been proper Narnia-like early Thursday but I'd been stuck at home awaiting a furniture delivery. I did manage to out for a short walk in the afternoon while there was still some frost around though.
Today was back to turbo duties, riding virtual Mallorca.
Forgot to take a pic but had a fun ride on the MTB. Very leafy, a bit muddy, quite slide-y. And as it's now 'hardtail season' I was reintroduced to my knees and ankles in a way I'd rather had had a bit more notice about 🙂 Still not feeling great so 600m of climbing was quite enough today.
Can't decide if I'll run or ride tomorrow, but I'll definitely be doing one of them!
Duplicate posts galore. Can't be just me getting wordpress errors?
Same.
Day 76: wet as all he'll but got an hour of singletrack with the youngest lad.
Day 77: couple of hours around the local area when it finally stopped raining.

Struggling with this cold/cough/sore throat lurgy thing that I have at the moment. Managed another 7k dog walk in the slop yesterday but I was knackered afterwards.
I had been busy taking apart a bed then building a new one and fighting with mattresses up and down the stairs though earlier in the day....
Throat feels a bit better this morning and I'm coughing up some right crap so hopefully it's on its way out.
Park run again yesterday was grand weather - today absolutely hammering down.
Well I excitedly weighed myself prior to my Zwift session earlier and much to my bewilderment I've put weight on. Furious.
50 minutes on the turbo tonight.
Started a course on MyWhoosh, but something wasn't right. Power didn't seem to registering properly, the course was a bit lumpy but pretty flat really. I was having to put much more power in than it said I was doing. Figured I'd just get to 30 minutes and give up.
28 minutes and about 95% of the course my knee was hurting so stopped to flex it, started pedalling again and it all seemed ok. Did a second lap 10 minutes faster than the first!!
4 mile walk yesterday before a afternoon drinking with the old rugby team.
a slow hung over 10 mile ride today, which felt too far.
Finished off a very wet weekend with a very wet lap of Grizedale North Face trail. Good fun.
Monday yoga, Tuesday was a 5k run, Wednesday bodyweight, Thursday skatepark (went for a tumble in front of the cool kids) Friday nightride in the mud, yesterday skatepark with the kids and today was an hour in the wet round the local woods with the ekdezt two (went for another tumble) 
Day 78: After over 300mm of rain in November Mrs Reeksy made a very wise call for us to check out a waterfall on the first day of school holidays.
Ace walk in hot humid forest and then the most refreshing swim I've had in a while. 10km total...plus we got to watch a snake eat a frog. Which was nice.
Well I did it. I never want to spend that long on a treadmill ever again. And I managed to open a wound on my knee trying to scratch it while running and instead smashing it against the screen! Still going, Zwift + Yoga last night. I should do some Yoga now but instead I'm off to lie down under a crisp packet!
I’ve been running the last few days but today was my Mom’s birthday and she wanted to go for a walk. We took the dogs out over the common and was fortunate to see some wild ponies. Mom had a lovely time and we had lunch in the pub.
Still day 79 here. Just 45 mins of yoga for me tonight, I had been on 2 dog walks today as well though.
Yeah, day 79. Weights and treadmill on what turned out to be a very sleety and windy day. Looks like it's freezing again too.
Day 81 here:
Absolute rookie error this morning. 5.15am - drove half an hour to meet my riding mate for our scheduled singletrack sweatfest. Got out the shock pump to put some air in and realised i'd forgotten my hip pack. Swiftly followed by realising i'd forgotten my helmet too. Bloody annoying. So I rode with her up the steep firetrails to the highest point in the park, left her to enjoy the good stuff and rolled back to the car. Almost 30 mins of riding.
By the afternoon influenced by another thread, decided i'd punish myself with a hill run, so went out for a short sharp shock on the local trails. 40 mins of running.
Just about keeping up here although a stuffed back meant it was mainly walks last week.
exhausted 90 minute walk yesterday was all i could muster.
25 mile ride today...... steady away and felt better.
think i may have a virus/bug/cold/something.
Day 80 was a couple of turbo hours and then 5km on the treadmill.
Day 81 a 7km run in the great outdoors.
Still on track 🙂
Back on the trainer after a week of in-and-out commuting to Stockholm. Only three sessions this week and Wednesday was a 20km-ish bimble. Tonight I treated myself to Mallorca, again an Easy, just to clear the cobwebs.
@scotroutes Shame on you sir, shame.
