I was rather reluctant to go out today but Susie made me walk for another 50 minutes.....she is very motivational:D
 
A 3.65 mile run fr me yesterday, plus a session with Gay 🙂 Today is another rest day, with hopefully a long run tomorrow! 🙂
 
25 hours walking in the past 10 days from me! :D

Escaping the masses of school children who turned up at the parks I think! :D

Wish my school did trips to Disneyland!

When I worked for Saga Holidays the Chairman hired a big section of EuroDisney for the night (free beer, food and rides) and took all 1200 employees to Paris for the weekend for the Christmas do! :D
 
Here are a few more pedometer tallies to contribute:
4095
5829
5223

...are we nearly there yet?
 
4 mile run and my first swim of the season, that's only 200 metres though!
 
Don't think my contribution will make much difference, but considering I can't walk far because of hip problems, I can contribute a small amount of 500 metres yesterday on my treadmill and 400 from Sunday.

Total 900 metres. I'm now heading for the recliner :D

John.

Excellent Andy! 🙂 What kind of rower do you have? I've lusted after a Concept II for many years 🙂

It's a waterrower. According to the bumf, it provides a smoother row than the flywheel type rowers and more closely mimics the feel of a real row.

Also, when not in use it can be stood up on end and doesn't take up much space. It also looks quite nice being made of wood. 🙂

The drawback is that it is quite expensive in comparison.

They do look rather nice - I've seen them in John Lewis, would love one! 🙂

I've just been investigating linking it to my PC. It looks like there is a free service available where you can row against other people online. All I need now are the cables I've just ordered to arrive and I'll see whether it is any good or not! 🙂
 
Managed another 10km row on the machine yesterday evening. Quite pleasing because I was wanting to stop (for laziness reasons only) at 5km, but managed to keep going thanks to good 'ole Gerry Rafferty!

Ended up with a time 50 secs faster than the day before (still 45secs off my best tho).

Andy 🙂
