    The Monday night club gravel ride saw a large group of 4 out tonight! Think 12 sensible people dropped out 😂. Bit breezy to say the least, and a few puddles including one I thought I’d need the RNLI to help with! Glad I got out though. Day trip to Edinburgh for work tomorrow so a walk is in order methinks.

    Day 58.
    An hour of dog walking – I’m counting because it’s not even my bluddy dog :-)
    20 minutes yoga with Ash, an hour of weights and an hour of Zwift. Taking it easy on the latter, with just a wee uptick in effort for the last 5km or so.

    No photos today, but here’s one of me on the final descent on Saturdays run.

    Did the second workout of the Zwift Academy today, only the short one but it was still a bit of a tough one! Did plan to get out IRL but the weather was in no way encouraging so save that for later in the week.

    58. Failed yesterday. Left the house at 05.30 and got back at 20.30. Just too exhausted from work and travel. Back on it today though.

    Day 58 – walk 4.1 km in 44 minutes, then 2.25 km walk later in 26 minutes. Very very tired today. Like above work could have completely got in the way today, but my colleague Marina told me to get up and get out for a walk in the rain. Weirdly quite nice walking in the rain, for once it was super quiet on the thames walkways. Still could  have done with a total lazy arse day today.

    I knew today was going to be busy and possibly a late night so I went for a run early this morning. The street I was working on had a gas leak, everyone was made to leave their houses so I had a free afternoon. Still very breezy but enjoyed a two hour ride mixing up as many off road tracks, trails and riverbank.<i>86BB955C-2A24-4320-878B-7020E513B9FF</i>

    Meh. Bit of a busy day so squeezed in 90 minutes of Zwift this evening. Hopefully something a bit more exciting to report over the next few days!

    Another busy day, mostly travelling. 

    Managed to escape to the beach just after sunset (scoping it out for a swim).

    Day 60 – turbo session 33km in 61 minutes. Walked the dog later 2km in 32 minutes.

    am coming down with some bloody cold, so my next few updates will be slightly less energetic.

    Morning swim as planned.

    Water at 9.5c felt much warmer than the 5c we’ve been experiencing at home.

    Didn’t stay in too long but had a good walk around the castle grounds this afternoon to round off the days exercise.

    Logging a Fail today, just had far too much going on personally so had no time to do anything. Been ticking a long with walks the last few days but tomorrow is a day at BPW so not all bad.

    Day 61 – long busy day at work, couldn’t get out or away all day, left very late and walked home the wrong long way round to do 2.6 km in 31 minutes. Just about done.

    Been a shit week for me, physically and mentally. No idea why but Monday just went rubbish. Was feeling really good after stuff I’d done last week, but then Monday everything just dropped off a cliff. Really sick of the bloody weather, I just want to not be wet!

    Still got out for walks but nothing major until yesterday and didn’t Strava anything. Thursday and today have been big walks because I was walking river banks inspecting flood defences for work. Then walked the dog when I got home as well. 25000 steps over rough boggy ground is bloody tiring!

    Hopefully doing park run will kick me back into it tomorrow. 🤞

    62. An evening walk in the darkness by the river for an hour with the dog. Despite the mizzle it was nice to have the solitude. I saw nobody.

    @ads678 – well done. It’s not easy getting out when the weather is continuously plop, or life gets in the way. Good effort though: 25k steps is solid.

    Jeez, are you sure that’s Lewis?

    Blue skies 👌

    I’ve only ever been there in horizontal rain.

    Cheers @bonni.

    Park run done. Now got to go and put some insolation into the MIL loft.
    No, no, no! That’s not a euphemism!!

    Day 63. Club gravel ride. Started off wet and got wetter. Tracks were minging. A high level of stoicism was deployed but I took an executive decision (I was leading the ride) to cut out one of the hillier off-road sections – including a river crossing – and jump onto the road for a while. Inevitably, just before we hit Aviemore the skies cleared and a warm sun put in an appearance 😂

    Still, 45km and 500m of climbing done.

    Scraped a 30 min zwift session for D63 – not much, but enough to keep me in the game!

    Thursday had to fall back on a lunchtime walk

    two days of lumberjack action today and yesterday, big tree cane down on Tuesday and have been lopping it up, about 2m3 of firewood so far and about two tonnes of brashings to figure out what to do with. Knackered.

    Day 63 (somewhere before this I’ve posted two entries for the same day 58 by mistake)

    turbo session as weather looked too grim to mtb. 40.6 km in 75 minutes at 185w. Boring but done.

    I’m still in! Day 60odd can’t quite believe that.  An hour on the Zwift machine today. Weather was dreich so no go for outdoor cycling.

    A habit has definitely been formed, if only I could stay off the beers and bread sticks and Houmous I’d be laughing.

    It’s been a few days since I last reported in, Most days I have been out on the bike. Friday, my legs felt like lead so had a recovery day with a long dog walk. Yesterday was back out on the bike and this morning did an hour of weights.
    I seem to be in a zone at present where I don’t really think about it, just have to choose what ever I feel like each day then find the window of opportunity. It’s definitely become more habit than chore.
