Excellent Andy, we must be almost ready for an update thanks to your contribution 🙂 How are the calves doing these days? (Not the small bovines! 😉)

They've been mooving quite nicely thanks! 🙂

I have various theories why ...

1) I've been limiting the amount of rowing.
2) I've practically stopped drinking coffee with any caffeine.
3) I've been regularly taking a vitamin/mineral supplement.
4) I've put on weight (but it is coming down again).
5) Something else.

Perm any combination of 1 to 5 for the real reason!

Andy :D

Ooh! Good luck Richard! Wish I could run it with you! 🙂 Will you be ahead or behind a Bunny? 😉

Thanks! Probably behind Bunny - agreed to do this at the York meet just over 2 weeks ago so haven't had time to train train properly. Well that's my excuse - actually Bunny's doing really well!

Don't worry Richard, I know the feeling of accepting that some women are able to run faster than us men 🙂 Hope the weather is condicive to a good run and that you can share a pint and a laugh afterwards 🙂
 
15 mile bike ride today - hoping to do parsley hay to ashbourne next Sunday !
 
Whilst you and the others were sunning yourselves in Brighton - (BTW Many years ago I went with the boyfriend of the time and his parents to a Masonic Ladies Night at the Brighton Pavillion - very posh !!) - Ian and I did a 5 mile walk in glorious sunshine down here on the Somerset Levels. Does that help us along any ?
 
Good luck to Helen and Richard on their 10K run
 
Put me down for 18 miles (according to the peddy thingy) over three days spent yomping around Glencoe.

Well done Ally, sounds wonderful! 🙂 I haven't been to Glencoe since 1976!

This is the first time I've ever been there when it didn't pour with rain!

Thanks Hazel!

A great morning, I finished the 10K in 62:17 - would have been faster but for having to walk the last 1.5 miles because of knee pain.

Helen did really well, finished in under 58 minutes!

19 miles in 2 hours for me on the bike today !
 
Another 48 miles to add from the last 12 days.

Walking is still the exercise of preference at the moment. As a consequence, the rower is looking a little forlorn in the corner at the moment.

The thing is my 90min walks at the weekend are now taking less time, even when I've added extra bits to the walk!

Andy 🙂
 
OMG my first visit to the gym in over year.........can't believe how very unfit I've become😱 Managed 30 minutes with average heart rate of 140bpm plus fifty minute Susie walk this morning plus 10 lengths of swimming. Not sure how this translates into miles🙂

Well done! Hope you don't ache too much tomorrow! 😱 Don't worry, my magical calculator will convert your efforts to miles along the journey 🙂
 
Wow you've got a magical calculator:D. Can it re-calculate the calories of yummy foods to make them less fattening??
 
20.12 miles today on bike... parsleyhay to tissington ! (and back)
