Easier week this week with Pilates, very tough easy half hour on the turbo, walk, stretching and likely weights today. Body was screaming out for dialing it back a bit.

The tail end of the year is normally when I pile on the weight and lose the fitness, this challenge is doing the complete opposite and I’ve even got My Fitness Pal back on the go tracking what I eat!

With Trick-or-Treating on the cards tonight, and a bus work day, I had to get creative so did mobility & isometric exercises during a department comms call. Camera and mic off to prevent the sweating and grunting from distracting the presenters.

Another gym session this.morning but the afternoon featured a visit to Loch Vaa for another tradition.

We’ve been dressing up for Halloween swims since covid.

First time I’ve been in the water for a couple of months so I was surprised not to get too much of a shock. With water temp at 8.9c and air at 14.4c it wasn’t even cold standing around eating cake afterwards.

Day 47: 30km in the hills checking the impact of yesterday’s storms.

@alex – luckily they were only gentle soft ones here. Some wild scenes up the range though – golf ball size.
