100 days of exercise until Christmas 2023

Posted 10 months agoDay #somethingorother! Another slow, plodding walk. Think my racking cough managed to scare all the wildlife away apart from a courageous robin. Even scared a dog-walker with it. Oops. Love the Rising Sun Country Park though. It’s a lovely little oasis of peace and nature in amongst the ever-expanding urban-ness.
Posted 10 months agoI’ve decided to have a bit of a quiet few days on the exercise front, so limited myself to a 20 minutes HIIT session in the (home) gym, following a Garmin Workout, then an hour of walking in to/ out of town this evening.
Posted 10 months agoDay 74 (if you’ve not missed any).
It was a dreich morning but that was fine as I’m trying to take it a bit easier this week. However, it cleared up this afternoon and “itchy” legs meant I headed over to Nethy Bridge for a wee 11km run, scouting out some singletrack for Global Fatbike Day this weekend.
On the one hand, the short days are a pain as it gets dark and cold so early. On the other hand, the light is often awesome late afternoon.
@monkeycmonkeydo – we need ice 😂
Posted 10 months agoDay 74 (Nov 28) – felt none too good today, so walking today – lunchtime walk round the thames and walked home, so overall 71 minutes walking 6.2 km, which will do.
Posted 10 months agoDay 75!
Had my flu and covid vaccinations this morning, followed up by a stroll into town.
Afternoon saw us at Loch Pityoulish for our first snowy swim of the season.
Maike was celebrating 4km of outdoor swimming in November.
Water is down to 4.5c now, but that’s still 3c above air temperature 🤪
Posted 10 months agoI’ve been working late so have run first thing every day.
The dogs had an extended walk then I did half an hour of yoga last night.
Managed to get back early today so got out for a nice ride in the last bit of daylight.
Posted 10 months agoA short ride around Forest Fawr this afternoon, the first time I’ve pedalled up a real hill in over a month!
Very muddy in places though and a tree is down across the main bridleway, made it a bit of an adventure at least.
Posted 10 months ago“Home made Yoga” stealing that one.
Back out on the hill this morning for an hour’s running. The view from the tower was a bit white but saw an enormous mushroom.
I love the squeak-crunch noise fresh snow makes when you’re running
Posted 10 months agoDay 76.
Feeling a wee bit “off colour”, probably a reaction to double vaccination. However, more snow overnight meant that I fitted the oven gloves to the Fatbike for a wee play in the woods.
Remember folks – don’t play on the railway!
Posted 10 months agoThis morning’s walk felt a bit different. Can’t quite put my finger on it…🤔
Posted 10 months agoDay 77.
Fun run round the woods from Boat of Garten to Loch Vaa and back.
Trails are much crunchier than they were yesterday.
Sun already setting just before 3pm.
I had my new running shoes on too – studded.
Very confidence inspiring.
Posted 10 months agoextra 30 mins cycle on the commute to pick up the car yesterday evening, nearly wiped out on some ice when I got to the car park.
Today was 6 hours round the finest trails of Caerphilly, made extra difficult because I’d not checked my full-sus since bpw last month and it turns out the rear mech had seized, had to chase the group using only the 3 biggest sprockets, which killed my thighs on any flat sections! Freezing but glorious sunshine all day.
