OK, looks like we've had a bit of an extended layover in Skipton! Let's start moving again from this weekend - anything intervening that wasn't posted doesn't count, so get walking, running, cycling and Wii-ing! :D Next destination: Sheffield!

If you can go via Thorpe House Avenue (S8 9NH), that was my old stomping ground when I lived there!

Does the weekend start Friday evening though... 😉 I did 4 miles tonight!

OK, let's say that the weekend starts from Friday pm, since that always used to be the case in my hell-raising years 😉

BTW Andy, I lived in Crookes and Broomhill most of my 20 years in Sheffield, plus about 3 years in Heeley at the top of the road to Heeley City Farm!

Yep, I regularly went past Heeley City Farm on my way to and from home (either by bus, bike or shanks' pony) between 1985 and 2000. Happy days (mostly!).

Missed a new PB at 5km Parkrun by 11 secs today, with 4 miles bike ride in each direction from / to home. Will probably fit in a couple of miles canoeing / kayaking this weekend, plus several miles cycling doing chores, getting to river etc.
 
I've done 2 hours of swimming this past week 🙂
 
how about 2 miles at least a day for 14 days ....about 1/3 of the time through heavy shingle ...... and swimming in the sea against the incomming tide and undertow ???? also at least 100yds a day to the pub and fish shop ????
how much does that add up too???:D

Sounds like you had a terrific holiday am! However, I'm only counting from yesterday evening (except for tiny swimmers 🙂) What you'll have to do is keep up the good work and report it in! 🙂

Not sure if I can count that (only going from Friday pm for this latest leg). However, if Jessica was swimming too then I will bend the rules! 🙂

Oh :( I went friday evening for 45 minutes. No Jessica hasn't been in a couple of weeks but we are planning to go in a couple of days with her 😉 x
 
1 hour on the wii yesterday working out and dancing. i have still been keeping up with my excercises most days but sorry i wasnt about to add them on here. so 1 hour yesterday an i will try to get more in tomorrow
 
Odd day yesterday - unexpectedly called into work, so 3 miles return bike ride; evening punt orienteering (team relay event) - 4 miles return bike ride to start / finish; about 3 miles punting (but I wasn't poling any of it), ran 2km orienteering leg, plus a bit of running on banks (to find a tree for a pee!)
Like to see how Northerner works that out!
 
4.25 mile run this morning. Did a new route and didn't look at my Nike+ until the end. Before I looked I guessed at 3miles so really pleased to see it was that much more!! Next race is a half marathon in November so need to step up the training soon!
