Day 1 and my first Whitley Bay parkrun. I’ve decided that, where possible, I’m going to work my way round all of the local parkruns during this 100 days.
Undone my earlier good work. I’m helping my wife with her stall at a fair. There’s a bakery stall by us. I’ve already eaten a ‘giant scone’ and a sausage roll the size of my head ☹️
Urgh – run into a snag on day one – slept in the van last night to save going home and am at work from 7.30am this morning to roughly 9.30pm tonight. No hope of getting 30mins exercise in between now and end of play. Will I get myself to do it after a 45min drive home tonight……..could I fail before I even start!
Two hour gentle ride with my other half, fair play to her as she hasn’t been near her bike for a few years. 15 mile Kilt Walk with my daughter tomorrow. I’m not committing to anything but gonna try.
A gentle walk to the localish shop to start with, an easy one but better than getting in the car to go to the supermarket.
Planning an early gentle ride in the morning followed by an FTP test ready for my winter Zwifting and following one of the training plans, that should keep me on track with 3-4 sessions per week.
Aaaaand we’re off! 45 min trot over the fell in glorious sunshine probably barely 5-6k but all up or down and from tiny acorns mighty oaks doth grow etc.
I’ve missed this challenge previously and only just read about it now but I’ll go for it.
parkrun for me this morning and almost certainly the worst photo ever taken of me…
Started with a local ride out from Sheffield towards Holmes field and back via big moor and Totley Moss. Was very misty so failed on the photo front. Good to hear what everyone else is up to.
1.5h walking the dog first thing this morning then after a load of gardening and housework I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours on the bike this afternoon to make the most of the dry trails before tomorrows rain hits.
Well this thread couldn’t have come at a better time. I’d drifted away from STW this year for various reasons (mostly health) but took a little look this afternoon and found this thread. I have been unsuccessful at this every year I’ve tried it but going to give it another bash! Started off with a 35min walk this evening. Hopefully I’ll shift some of this major weight I’ve gained this year!
For positive reasons I thought I’d not do this this year, the last four years of doing, some more successful than others, have instilled a good discipline for exercise for me. Today has been a ‘lazy’ day though, got the youngest to bed then thought ‘why not’…
Day 2/100
Walked to/from junior parkrun this morning. I used to walk but I’ve got into the habit of driving even when, like today, I’m not going on somewhere else afterwards. So it’s good to get back into the walking habit just as the weather turns to ****.
Walking up and down Greno most of yesterday. Drank far too much trail ale last night, so a spin out on the MTB today for an hour round some local trails.
