15 mile mtb yesterday, 40 mile road loop today………….. still on track, all good.

Jog with dog tonight. Tried to take a photo, but running and dark don’t make for great photography…

Didn’t have much time today as flying to Rhodes in about half an hour and had to take the dog to my sister’s (Leeds to Leicester). Decided I’d get a swim in first thing. Got to the pool just before 7:30am and then had to get out again after 19 minutes as they close for 15 minutes to move a rope or something!!….

Went home and took the dog for a walk.

I get really stressed on holiday leaving day so I’ve had an elevated heart rate all day although I’ve managed to keep the sweat levels down.

I think I speak for all of us when I respectfully request you don’t feel the need to share that image with the group 🙂

I’m back to 175lbs +/- 1lb on a weekly basis but no more coming off regardless of god knows how many hours of Z2/Z3 running. Garmin thinks I’m slacking! My new-ish withthing scales reckon I’m losing body fat and gaining muscle but those are hooky metrics not to be trusted. I’m waiting to see if the 4th rib appears 🙂

I’m still in the game but only just. I’ve been able to keep going but I’ve felt weak and washed out for a few days. The last three days I have had to count extended dog walks for my exercise but I’m hoping to get out for a ride tomorrow.
It’s frustrating because the weather has been amazing for the time of year and I haven’t been able to make the most of it, 19 degrees this afternoon on our dog walk!

Strength session and a short walk/jog today. MTB with the wife tomorrow.

40: I rode a mountain bike! Inners session introducing a new guy to off-pisting in the dark.

Followed by a pint of repeat offender at Durty Brewing.

Leaf raking. Then leaf moving. Then more leaf raking. Good job I had a foodbox in the fridge.

Boy have I got a thread for you?

Just shy of 1100m of climbing, 54km, fantastic weather and colours in the FoD. Conditions a bit more variable 😉 Felt a whole lot better but still full of cold/asthma so happy to get round. Even crashed on my dodgy elbow and it was nowhere near as painful as I expected!

Won’t make my step count today. Have no issue with that, was a big day out on the bike.

Never made it out on the bike, tomorrow ‘appen like eh. Went to the gym instead.

Yay! Made it out on the gravel bike today. 50km/750m with the club, taking in some of the Loch Laggan area.

We made it back to Wolftrax just before the rain hit and had time for a burger before setting off for home.

Day 42: Hour gravelling with Reeksy1 and then a couple of hours coaching later this afternoon. All the gaps in between filled in with dismantling tree house and garden nursery in preparation for jump lines…

Run yesterday morning that was a bit rubbish as I was knackered already..after only a few hours sleep and it’s about 25 degrees here in Rhodes and I’m not used to running in the sun. Bloody lovely though.

Another 5k this morning the other way up there coast very nice.

Family spin up and down the west side of windermere. Was meant to ride home from Sawrey but the weather was turning and am doing a roast for some visitors so knobbed it off.

Too much time in the gym this week (hiding from the rubbish weather) but still on the 100 day wagon and today was a fine sunny one on the South Downs.

Not a great picture but close to where we scattered my dad’s ashes last year, overlooking the village he lived in most of his life.

Mrs S is just back from sunnier climes so we had a wee walk up to Ryvoan to help her re-acclimatise 😀

I feel it’s my duty to post a few photos now – and it’s only my second trip during this challenge (or is it my third???)

3 days on a row at a skatepark of some sort

I’m still crap at olies

Day 43: 43km gravel loop.
