Far from it here with shades of green

Was that the green of the loch?? 😉 Never grey in that part of the world for me! 😁

Last 3 days and 3 walks is best I’ve managed. Been so tired for last 3 days. Very odd. Maybe a covid ‘hangover’. Got the thumbs up for being good for another year from the asthma nurse though. Apparently I’m now in total control of my asthma 🙏🏻

28. Feeling stiff as a board after yesterdays gym sesh. So only managed to do 30 mins of yoga with Kassandra. Her vids are decent.

Hopefully out on the bike tomorrow.

I’m out due to covid striking. But I’m being looked after by the reason I’ve got myself back into shape, so I’ll take that as a win.

Keep on going you lot, Covid has scuppered my last two attempts!

Woke up this morning with some energy, so Rising Sun Parkrun it was, although, I forgot my barcode so I’m now an ‘unknown’ near the bottom of the results list 🤦🏻‍♂️. 3 weeks since my last run thanks to covid, work, biking etc. but historically I would have found a mental excuse to not do it, so I’m taking it as a win that I even bothered to get out there. Off for a walk now to see if Aldi have any of their bike gear left 😁

An hour of weights yesterday and out today on the road bike. Bright and sunny but definitely chilly compared to last weekend! Beautiful autumn countryside under huge Norfolk skies,
I love this time of year.

Active recovery counts on any given day. There’s no way anyone is going to go flat out for 100 days.
The whole point of the challenge is to give you the incentive to go out when you would otherwise stay indoors as the weather and daylight deteriorates. The true testament to the challenge is the increased fitness come springtime.

More gentle moving

Surely rest days are as important for increasing strength and fitness as actual exercise itself is?

If you’re doing 100 days if exercise in a row I’d wager a large chunk of that is junk hours/miles/kgs.

I’m rubbish at quoting/formatting on STW so who knows how the above will turn out but, as an example, tomorrow I will walk to/from junior parkrun where I volunteer most Sundays. I’ve got into the habit of driving there even though it’s only a mile but this challenge has nudged me to walking there back. So it’s still a rest day after 5k parkrun today but it’s 30+ minutes of walking that I wouldn’t have done otherwise.

Some how I’m still going.
Now it was never about fitness for me, more just moving in run up to Christmas.
Mainly 30min walks but that’s good for my back recovery since a disc bulge damaged a nerve.

15km trail run yesterday in the lakes with 450 other idiots – well organised lakeland trail from Glennridding – weather was great too. Tough in a good way. Bike today

I’m still in, getting harder to commit, but no way quitting.  Mostly running and some bike (weather permitting).   My rest days are 30 min walks, not many of them but certainly needed.
Bike today, cold but beautiful.  Keep it going everyone, nearly a third done.

one problem, I’m eating lots more so no weight reduction benefit.

I havent cycled for a couple of weeks, but there’s been walking swimming, and tai chi

100km on the bike – flatlands out to Donny and back. Cracking day though.

Extended dog walk this morning was going to be it for the day but due to the beautiful sunshine, couldn’t resist a nice and easy hour out on the road before the rugby.
I came across a few Chestnut trees and now have a pound or two of sweet chestnuts which will be going in the oven very soon. I love this time of year!

30. Got lurgy-lite, so nothing too cardio.
Just an hour walk by the river and 25 mins of pilates brutalisation by Nicole.

skateboard & basketball yesterday with the kids

then this afternoon had an hour to kill while my daughter was in dance class, found a new a skatepark, managed to fall over in front of the teenage girls there; they didn’t  acknowledge my graceless tumble not t even to laugh

Friday was a 2 hr walk up the fell. Saturday was a no show, eldests birthday so it was a trip to morecambe and Lancaster for trampolining and retail therapy. Swimming with the kids today, will do a bit on the chinning bar when the kids are in bed. Probably. Being a bit lax at the mo, need to up the tempo and get some more running/bike time in

This week I was walking part of the Camino de Santiago with the family, so no problems getting the exercise in. And managed a bonus swim on Saturday.

5.4k run this evening. Was thinking I might do 6k but massive stitch got me. I know I’ve got 6k in me though and I’m still feeling a bit crap and haven’t shaken my cold off quite yet.
