37. Been pretty busy clearing up the garden for winter, so a fairly physical day.

To finish it off, I completed 30 mins yoga with Kassandra. Son 2 thought it looked like a piece of p!55 and joined in. His learning curve was very steep, as far as it went (5 mins).

Ah. The "easy" twist 🙂

I can just about manage a reclined pigeon now but that's taken a year!

A very frosty walk with Mrs S this morning

And then a (bit too fast) 13km run with the club this evening.

intervals.icu has put me into the "High Risk" zone - basically over-training. I really do need to knock it back a bit this week!!

38. Worked late this evening, so barely anytime. Just squeezed in a yoga vid with Charlie Follows. Not bad, but she’s very fond of a plank and downward dog. Me, I’m more of your corpse pose type of guy.

I was gonna head to the gym but the remnants of the cold is lingering (mainly airways restricted). Maybe tomorrow…

Beautiful colours up there @scotroutes

Took my drone for a wee walk, so was out for over two hours. A good wee leg stretch without a huge amount of exertion.

Looking South along the Spey, which has calmed down a lot since last week!

The world looks great close-up too. Loads of fungi around at the moment.

39. Worked late again. So after a few chores I just had time for some yoga (Breathe and Flow) and stretching (Tom Merrick). Still being mithered by lingering throat/sinus goings-on.

D39

Some sort of lurgy hit - I blame Zwift 😆

I think I'm out, I've been gradually doing a bit less so time to call it.

Still, it's got me moving a lot more and once I'm feeling better, I'll pick it up again. Just happy to be doing more than I was, which was pretty much naff all so it's kick started that. Thank you

Good luck to everyone else and keep going, well done

Day 39 was a steady upper body session but Day 40 had me out on the bike, which was ace! Forgotten how much XC tyres don't like mud and wet roots though.

40. A pretty muddy evening ride around the Loaf. Low cloud and plenty of standing water from the rain over the last few days. Was good to get out though.

Dreich, damp, drizzly day.

I had some errands in the village so opted to walk in rather than drive.

Then out with Mrs S for another dip

Loch Pityoulish is now dropping below 9C so we weren't in for very long.

Lovely calm water though, with the Autumn colours reflected.

D 41: Long walk along some rivers for work today, probably 7 or 8k, then another walk this evening with wife and dog, probably another 5 or 6k. Unfortunately didn't Strava any of it.

Day 41 - overslept again, quite possibly from all this 100 day malarkey. Walked through central London 4 km in 46 minutes, but like pedestrian dodgems with all the half term visitors.

Food to hear what everyone is up to.

I've been on the usual pottering bike rides and on foot.

Yesterday was a dig day on some local trails sorting out some bad ruts and muddy patches. Managed a ride after to test the work.

Headed up to the lakes today, just a bit of a stroll on arrival but plans for some rainy rides in next few days.

Just about to go out for a quick walk after a very stressful 24hrs.

The last few days have been a mix of Zwift sessions and local rides but yesterday I went to Llandegla for their weekly Wednesday Night Ride. Always good fun doing a lap in the light, raiding the cafe then going back out for a dark lap. Was pretty busy too but my legs hurt a bit as I'm not used to doing 20 miles in one go!

41. Sad to say that yesterday was a fail. I had commitments all day including driving 280 miles. Although I tried to be active when I had a stolen 10 mins, I couldn’t get anything coherent done.

Not happy, but will continue with a blotted copybook.

At risk of losing track of the days but...
Day 39: club run
Day 40: walk to/from work
Day 41: unnecessary walking round Leeds (with daughter who's lived there for 2 months but clearly doesn't know her way around) - I was planning a run when I got home but my legs were battered from the walking so I'm counting it.
Day 42: lunchtime work walk

Tomorrow will be parkrun and on Sunday I may even ride one of those 'mountain bike' things I've heard about.

Day 42.

I've had a niggling headache for a couple of days, a bad bout of diahorea before bed last night and then been back and forward to the toilet all day. 

I'm supposed to be running tomorrow evening so managed to sneak in a 40 minute "test" run this afternoon. I'm not sure I've learned anything. Skipped fancy-dress dip-a-day though , and there was going to be cake!!

So - still on track, but prospects looking grim.

Another day of long walking for me. 10k ish at work along the south side of the Humber under the bridge. Then another 7k walking to Morrisons to see if we could get my daughter a white t-shirt for her Halloween costume. We didn't get one!

Gonna start trying to ramp it up again from tomorrow, starting with park run and maybe a jump session at Leeds bike park.
