Still going strong here, only missed one day - glad I had kids young because grandchildren are flippin exhausting. Might have to see if Strava will add babysitting as a category.
I was a bit lax yesterday and only managed a short weights session between batches of apple chutney making.
Made up for it today with a old-school XC trip over the Burma Road. Bloody windy higher up, but still quite mild.
E bike commute today 2hrs all in, that'll do
Yoga tonight, to loosen off the legs after yesterdays gym session
Swim and a ride. Both excellent. Think I'll bin the two gym sessions off tomorrow to do the same again. Not sure trail conditions will be this good until about April next year!
Away this weekend. So going for very early run/Zwift saturday and something when we get back Sunday.
Let's try a photo

Half an hour walk yesterday - was knackered.
Was going to take it easy today and then Reeksy1 broke his hanger last night and I discovered the wholesaler of said hangers is 5 mins drive from my favourite trails... so that meant I had to go for a ride and then go and pick up hangers before they opened for business.

For me that appears as a link to your photo hosted on STW, the picture doesn’t appear in your post but is displayed when I click the link
Cheers.
^Same here.Nice pic mind
awesome full moon night ride last night, 90 mins lots of owls hooting, trauks arre a bit too dry!
One hours escootering and 8000 steps.Very windy and mild again.
I'm still plugging along. Doing a combination of bodyweight exercises, skating and walks right now.
Previous years I've gone too hard at the start and lost enthusiasm. This week I've also included walking up and down hotel stairs because it was late and I didn't fancy a walk outside in a neighborhood I didn't know.
Pictures not working I guess
No idea if either of those will work!
Not quite 40 lengths in 40 mins (using a stroke I'm probably previously described as "old dog fallen into a canal and is now desperately trying to get out) but getting closer.
Third ride in four days. With a couple of gym sessions in between. Legs quite weary. Good fun tho and I can feel some pre-injury fitness creeping slowly back. Run today I think and then need to manage sat/sun being away and busy.
I'm having another crack this year having skipped last year, managed a bike ride everyday bar one so far, when I went for a walk round the local woods. I'm also trying to do a bike ride everyday in October, which I'm not sure I'll do.
@fathomer - bike ride outside everyday? I'm not sure I'd sign up to that 🙂
I'm dyyyyiiiiinnnng
Seriously, this cold has been hanging around for over a week now and has hit the same time as our return to the office 3 days a week. The commute has been alright but was knackered on last nights MTB ride.
I'm racing on saturday so should really take it easy today so will just have to do some yoga or something later. Although if its not raining, might be a trip to the pump track with the kiddo if he's up for it.
An hour and fifteen stacking logs ready for next winter.
My back and shoulders definitely feel like it was exercise.
Slept in so no bike commute but an hour in the gym. Might pedal in to town later on a booze run.
84km of gravel and tarmac today, with a fair chunk of climbing. Glad I had an easier day yesterday.
Fabulous October day though. Almost continental!!
Friday night home gym.
Saturday morning mtb...30+ degrees was a bit much though.
Coming down with something so taking the foot off the gas a bit. 40 mins rugby training with the youngest this morning (just chucking the ball about) will be out for a walk this afternoon. Really wanted to take the mtb to grizedale today or tomorrow though :/.
A short and crappy night’s sleep, so an extended 50 minute lunchtime dog walk will have to suffice for today.
Escootering and hiking about Thursday.Hour on bike and dirt jumping yesterday.Of to the outdoor gym soon.I,m beginning to motor again as I get my second wind.
Hope all those with the lurgy take things steady and get well soon.Anotther 75% to go remember
Have been plodding through, good to hear everyone is getting out & hope those with lurgy recover quickly.
The last week has been somewhat easier to do the 30 minutes each day as I have been away with Endless Trails on their Lake to Lake trip, many thanks to Julia & Graham.
6 days of definitely very techy riding from Garda to Como, beautiful scenery, great company, excellent coffee & pizza and we had amazing weather.
Another morning mtb riding in oppressive heat. Only other riders seemed to be Amflowers.
I've had a migraine the past couple of days which has knocked me a bit. I squeezed in an hour of yoga yesterday, partly just to make sure I was getting some stretches in. Today I strapped on my "road" running shoes and tried to get a "fast" 10km in, just to see how I might get on at an event next weekend. Let's just say I'll be happy to get round in anything less than the 52 minutes it took me last year 😂
I’m doing the October Prostate Cancer challenge - trying to get a 6km run every day, which has been a bit more of a challenge as all my running is off-road and we’ve had many trees felled by Storm Amy so getting some extra obstacles to negotiate. Needed some extras in the bank due to an all-day hospital checkup tomorrow so took the kayak out across and up the sound. Lovely once the mist lifted.

I did a similar thing last December and ended up with some injuries. I don't think it was the total amount of running over the month that did it, I think it was not having any days off. Mind you, it might have helped if I'd not still been doing some longer runs too.
Today's workout was digging out a tree stump for my parents 🙃
Missed a few days last week due to illness so annoyed about that. Managed to complete the Hadrian's Wall half marathon today as a walking entry, due to injury and completely non-existent training for most of this year. Ran it last year, walked it this year, maybe a running attempt again next year 🤔 Well done everyone for sticking in so far. 👏🏻
Keeping it up still. 75 kms today
Been working away at increasing exercise intensity post a bout of sciatica that dragged on for about 8 months. Walked a heavy rucksack up Ben A’an today, only 6 mins slower than the previous effort carrying just a Camelback. Absolutely cracking day for it!
Still in - good week last week 2 swims 3 bike to works 1 park run - and glorious 2 hours on the MTB today. Pretty much the same from Mon.
Can't remember when I last updated so:
Mon-Fri dog walks last week - dog sitting so counted for me but also:
Tuesday Yoga
Wednesday hill running
Thursday ... Not sure anything extra
Friday Bouldering
Saturday yoga before travelling
Sunday (today) Scrambling on Tarn Crag in irresistible Lake District weather (picture won't post)
Managed 23/27 so far - had three days where I've doubled up though. Average daily activity time (including the days I did nothing) = 89 mins, with 57 of those fully active - estimated calorie burn to date 12343
Been doing pretty well, cycled everyday apart from two days, then boom this weekend been hit with a rotten cold, so not cycled anywhere since Friday 😕
Got COVID. Poleaxed yesterday but a bit better today. Can't see me doing much until at least the back end of the week though. 🙁
I started doing intervals to the bathroom about 1am this morning - does it count? I am absolutely exhausted.
Still in by the skin of my teeth! Early Zwift before heading up North Saturday. Quite a lot of booze and that afternoon/PM then a long drive home yesterday afternoon. Just got over the line with two tepid attempts at the 15 min Yogalates on Kassandra channel. Did not enjoy 😉
Back on it today, 45 min easy walk with mostly leg rehab'd mutt#1. Swim lunchtime, maybe a Zwift later. Rest of the week is looking busy exercise wise.
As long as I don't get Covid, as everyone I know seems to have it/flu/bad cold right now 🙁
I've just had my flu vaccination, but don't qualify for the Covid one this year. Todays 30 minutes is, in fact, walking to and from the hospital 😂
(It's OK, I've a trail run later too)
Hanging on in there.
Had that covid/cold thing, I was 50/50 about racing on saturday, ended up racing then doing 20 mins at the pump track on the way home.
Heaving old council paving slabs around all day yesterday - i fgured that counted as exercise, it has spannered my shoulder which made the lunchtime pumptrack laps hard work mind.
Back commuting for the next 3 days, so that's easy.
