Quite apart from being on day 54 of the burpee challenge (which, because they are burpees, sucks) I went to the gym and, for the first time in a while, was lifting bodyweight+ on deadlifts. not much over to be honest and nowhere near what I used to lift for 10 reps, but it’s a start.

I’ve developed what I think is a Bakers cyst on the back of my knee. No pain but an egg sized lump. I was due a rest week on my cycling training plan so I’ve brought it forward a week and I’ll just do yoga for the next wee while!

So were am I. Monday was a nice easy dog walk following my ride Sunday. Tuesday I got a thorough workout putting up a trampoline. Sounds daft I know but pulling those springs on etc really gives the core a going over! Wednesday I cracked off just over 30k on the road bike, Thursday I did take it quite easy but walked to the shops etc. Did I do the full 30 mins – no but I needed to take it easy and then today was another near 30km on the road bike. Pretty pleased with my progress to date – over 30 hours of exercise in total this month so far and my training load is building nicely :).

Run tomorrow and then I am not sure what I’ll do Sunday yet…

Added more reps and a couple more ecercises, so no rest periods other than changing exercise or wiping the sweat off my brow, although I don’t think push ups into planks was my best idea this week…

Out on the road bike tomorrow. First non eeb ride for over a year and it’s a 36 mile loop, wish me luck.

I didn’t realise dog walking counts, but as it does I’ve exercised every day since September 2017…

I’ve had an off week. Yoga Monday, short ride Wednesday, walked up a small hill last night. Nothing heavy, I needed the rest. Beer tonight, ride tomorrow.

I’ve always struggled with motivation for upper body exercise. Just been on a works conference with Dr Chatterlee (of BBC fame) and liked his theory about tagging it on to an existing habit and removing any cognitive load. So I will do one upper body exercise every morning while the coffee brews. Surely I can manage this.

Two months done. Well done everyone.
Still doing running, mostly 6-7km, not missed yet.
Weather and daylight improving so it’s going to be easier to get the bike going again. 🙂

Back in the garage gym today. I’m getting to the point where I’m wondering if it’s worth going back to the proper gym next month.

Lost my way with this a bit. Been tired recently and have been busy with work. Annoying I’ve let it slide for those reasons, though. Shall be riding tonight hopefully.

First run of the year today. 5.76KM, 37m 24s so very slow, but at least I managed to run the whole way.

Just realised that it’s been a while since I checked in,

Yeah, me too. I’ve had two days off since the start. One was just general weariness given I’d done the 100 days up to Xmas too. The other was because I sort of “forgot” in the midst of other things. I’ve been biking, walking, running, “swimming”, yoga and even some Zwifting on account of having bought myself a turbo trainer. I’ll post some photos up of some days past, but this was todays effort…

24km and 1,230 metres of ascent. Absolutely glorious. If I’d had more food I might have stayed on the ridge until sunset.

@sandboy – if you end up in the Aviemore area, let me know and I’ll try to come up with some family-friendly routes and activities for you.

Still at it…

Increased the reps and added the last superset. Surprisingly difficult considering how little weight.

Easy dog walk on Thursday and repeated Wednesday’s workout this afternoon.

42.6 mile road ride today. I’m pooped. Refuelled with a KFC tonight so I should be good for tomorrow’s 35 miler.
