Raspberry Ripple edition walk today. Lovely afternoon ‘doon the ‘front’ (big happy smile emoji)

So bodyweight Monday & Tuesday evenings, 5k run on Wednesday, a very nice sunset ride yesterday
and skatepark in glorious sunshine at lunch time today

1600m breaststroke in the pool. 57 minutes, which is ok with me.

Day 34: Reeksy1 on an away trip. Reeksy2 riding at Noosa so I dropped him and spent a couple of hours sweating my eyeballs out and watching a little bit of the Hillclimb.

Did a late swim last night (8pm) outside and the lights weren’t on so kept hitting the wall.

Pouring here so either a late ride or Zwift.

Non-muddy parkrun this morning, but a new one for me at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. I did get a PB by over 2 minutes. Maybe this exercise mularkey is having some effect after all! (laugh emoji)

Still too wet outside so did a Zwift race, 40 minutes of zone 4. Utterly knackered.

It’ll count if you go on the ghost train.

It’ll count if you go on the ghost train

It’s fright fest or something, so the whole place is a ghost train at the moment!!

Edit: just buy it @jimmy and then ride it home!

@iainc – what you need is a winter road bike 😉

The rain didn’t stop until late afternoon by which time a ride wasn’t an option.

I was determined to exercise outside so did my usual run in torrential rain which wasn’t too bad because it is very mild. Running in the rain isn’t as bad as cycling and I was straight in the shower as soon as I got home. Followed by enjoying the football knowing I was done for the day.

If not for this challenge, there’s no way I would have run in those conditions, I believe this is what makes all the difference come Christmas, being motivated when at any other time it wouldn’t be in my mind.

Very well done to everyone who’s still going, it great to read what you have been doing and the photos are as good as ever.

Edit, The sit/press up is a little workout i did sometimes as a warm up for rugby training as a teenager and have done it a few times a week since then.

@ads678, I’d definitely be counting a jaunt around Alton Towers for a day. I think you’d be surprised at how far you walk.

As promised (to myself) I’ve limited day 34 to some weights in the gym (though I might manage a sneaky wee Kassandra later).

Wet and windy here again today, I got out first thing for a run so I can enjoy the day knowing that I have done my bit.
The forecast is better for the coming week so hopefully I’ll get some pedalling instead of running.

After Covid and Flu boosters yesterday, this was all I was good for. As ever, whenever I do some yoga rather than just saying I’ll do some, it makes me realise how much more I need to do it. Hips with the flexibility of a railing! Still the challenge made sure I did something rather than just moping about feeling sorry for myself.

In non 100 day news, I finally finished editing my last vid for Molini. Here’s a screen grab. I was really tired on that last day – so I’m thinking about trips next year and hoping this kind of challenge will get me in better shape. I mean smashing beer and wine every night while we’re away might also be contributing, but no change of me giving that up!

just done 2 hours at the Leeds Bike park with my grandson.

proper little shredder he is turning into. on the big bmx track now,pretty good for a 4 year old.

@ton, I love that, I started out on a BMX in the early eighties and the skills I learned as a kid have served me really well over the years.

Day 36. The weather forecast screwed my day over a bit. Ashley was supposed to fly through this morning and I’d planned to take a walk up a wee hill afterwards to check for storm damage. Well, it didn’t really arrive until the evening so all my delaying meant I had to grab some indoor exercise instead. Managed 90 minutes of Zone 2 on the turbo and some easy yoga with Kassandra this evening.

a planned easy Wattbike session last night that turned out more Z3 than Z2, anyways, legs feeling fine today on the early dog walk, so will be another trundle in my garage this evening, hopefully an outdoor pool swim tomorrow…

We’ve passed the 1/3 mark.

I’ve missed one day so far – trying to fit a half day at work, and a long haul flight into one day, and then having a heavy thunderstorm ruin my only possible window for a half hour walk.

With the miserable weather recently, I’d like to thank the challenge for forcing me out for a walk or urban bike ride (or onto zwift) probably 4 times out of the last 7 days when I would have otherwise retired to the couch.
