Good if wet run this morning with some mates – definitely need some new trail shoes, and a new jacket would be good too. Sounds expensive 🙁

Had an absolutely minging ride round Rothiemurchus with some mates. Rarely seen it quite so muddy. Got to the stage it was just funny. Stopped off at the Pine Marten for a couple of beers and hot snackage before heading back down to Aviemore just as lights were needed. Most folk we might while riding were locals and all seemed happy that the trails were relatively quiet.

5 days to go!

Just back from a really beautiful night ride. The local trails have dried out nicely and riding quite quickly, clear sky full of stars and a very pretty moon. Not done much night riding on the MTB this winter but a split tyre on the road bike has forced my hand this week and I’m pleased it has!! Not long now people, best of luck for next few days. Now enjoying a nice cold beer basking in the glory.

Dried out trails, beer and snackage are not things I’ve known for a while now (on the bike)!

Walked with the family yesterday, wasn’t far but it was over 30mins. Struggling with energy, bit under the weather, but wondering whether to boost up for the last few days. Going to run today, that might determine the next few days depending how I feel afterwards.

5…..

Had a slow 5k run with the dog this morning. Don’t think she was enjoying it as I was nearly dragging her!
Because I mistakingly started on the 14th September today is day 97 but I think I’m just going until Xmas eve anyway. Planning a big xc run Tuesday, will hopefully ride Wednesday despite the slop. Then just something to plan for Monday and Xmas eve

Riding with my wife this morning, got very wet and the next few days look equally damp – so no nice easy wind down, character building to the end!

Good road ride this morning with mates, 85km which is one of the shorter routes we do. Chilly, but dry and no wind so no complaints here 🙂

4 days to go!

Out for a bivvy last night, and back again this morning.

Hope you get better soon @ahsat. Doesn’t sound like it’s been much fun!

Nice picture scotroutes.I hope you get well soon ahsat.What is covid like?A bad cold or something worse?I just managed a 30 minute walk today…cycling tomorrow.

9)Even if you take part in this challenge,having a chocolate and biscuits weakness,will still result in you being a chunky monkey.

Missed from the 17th to the 20th. One of those major life events – a positive one, but boxes everywhere, disorganized, chaos. Still much to do, some needs tradespeople.

Still working however, commuting… to work from home. Last night and this morning, but commutes don’t count ha!

Went for 4 mile run yesterday, enjoyed, was hoping to have upped my distance, but haven’t been out to run as much as hoped, but happy that I can just go out and do a 4 mile run, wasn’t possible at the start of lockdown#1.

Greasing the groove today, hang for 10s then 3 pull ups. So far today done 45. Will probably go for stroll in a minute after sarnie…

Great run with a mate this morning – it was foggy at the start, but 5 minutes in he was cursing having left his sunglasses in the car… I hadn’t 😎 Kept climbing and the view of the sea of clouds below us was fantastic:

Another 20km in the bank, and only two days to go 🙂

So what are everyone’s plans for the last day?

Is the last day Xmas Eve or Xmas day?
If it’s the former it’ll be an 10 mile run in the mud around the local area. Loads of nice trails round there, and it’ll be followed by hot pork sarnies and freshly delivered beer.
If it’s Xmas day it’ll be one of my favourite runs of the year, 5 or miles around the estates and parks where you get to see loads of kids out on their brand new scooters and bikes. It’s bloody lovely, and I may even wear my Christmas antlers.

My annual skiving day off work and fell walk day today. Had a mooch over Wetherlam. Was going to go down via swirl how and the old man but the weather came in a bit so dropped off the tops. Glad I did as the ankle wasn’t keen on down despite not being bothered by up at all. Descent of the south of Wetherlam is much gentler than off the old man so it might have been a struggle. Still, that freed up a bit of time to get Mrs S some PJ’s for Xmas.

Xmas Eve should be a ride in to work then, after we’ve been dismissed at 12, a whistle stop tour of the Furness peninsular doing the xmas card drop off run round the relatives.

New tyres arrived so out on the road bike this afternoon. Checked my Garmin and since 16th September I’ve ridden 67 times. I have to be pleased with that considering I had two weeks when I didn’t ride at all. The plan for Thursday is to ride the Peddars Way and then home from the coast. I’m hoping to get it done in the daylight so will be a race against the sun!

well, I’m still going…I started a day late so will do something on Christmas day..either turbo or run. I’ve done something everyday, the least being about a 2km walk….otherwise lots of windsurfing, biking, a bit of running, weights/core work, or brisk walks.

very much enjoyed it, and glad I opened the thread 4 months ago!

My records suggest I’m on day 93!😆So I’ll have to continue through to next week.Some support would be nice.
Anyway did an hour or so on my bike today.Tees riverside was somewhat bracing.At least the seals seemed happy.

Training tomorrow so that’s easy. In Spain Christmas Eve is bigger that Christmas Day itself, and as my MiL is here I’ll have to keep it short and sweet – so I’m guessing it’ll be a quick 6km run before I start cooking.
