Popular Post Sophie 23,829 Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Lovely little early morning bike ride with my daughter. 20 miles 2 bottles of water 2 puddles 1 Crunchie (yum!) 1 banana 100 memories 💖 11 Link to post
James_erased 1,504 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Another half marathon race in the bag this morning - the heat made it pretty hard going, but was glad to soldier on and get it done! Very much enjoying an afternoon with the feet up now 😅 Just the one sighting of a lady opting to bypass the portaloo queue and instead squat down beside a tree for a nice piss before the race began - still a lovely treat, no less! 4 Link to post
LovesToWet 3,567 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 43 miles yesterday in glorious weather, not a bad first ride of my new machine. I'm gonna enjoy putting some miles on it as it is a very nice comfortable ride. 2 Link to post

harry_jones_1975 585 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 So my local running day has only just been announced for this year and I genuinely fear there isn't enough time between now and then to get Marathon fit. 2 Link to post
harry_jones_1975 585 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 PS have only run 26.18km all year Link to post
Kupar 12,768 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 @harry_jones_1975 Sounds like a big decision needs to be made. Maybe a half this time? Gives a sense of achievement but is easier to get ready for. Whatever you decide, good luck with the training. And if it's any consolation, I've not managed much this year either so far. 1 Link to post
LovesToWet 3,567 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I've been struggle to fit running in too. I was planning on a half this year but that's out of the window now 2 Link to post
LovesToWet 3,567 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Finally managed a run this morning, not far or too fast as its been a while just happy to be out 1 1 Link to post
LovesToWet 3,567 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 42 miles in the bag this morning on some nice quiet flat roads. This is the start to my training for a charity ride I am planning to do next year... And it's gonna be a big one! 1 1 Link to post
James_erased 1,504 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I got Hackey Half marathon also in the tank this morning - was too warm and legs weren't recovered enough after last weekend to challenge for a PB, but I had a great time out there in the sunshine regardless! And a beauty of a medal for it, too. On a peeing side note, I was surprised at the lack of people I saw wild pissing given how busy it was and how few portaloos there appeared to be! A handful of guys albeit somewhat brazenly pissing in the bushes, but that was about it. I now have my third Half in as many weeks this upcoming Saturday.. what was I thinking when booking all these? 🤣 3 Link to post

LovesToWet 3,567 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Raining again on my ride, what a surprise! I didn't get the miles in I wanted too but at least I still got out so I shouldn't complain too much. Onwards on upwards. Sadly I'm still finding it difficult to find the time to run but fingers crossed that changes soon. 1 Link to post
harry_jones_1975 585 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Cycled 5 miles from a railway station to a friend's house last night and it nearly killed me. They had hills there and I mainly only cycle on the flat here. 2 Link to post
Sophie 23,829 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 If anyone saw a crazy blonde woman on a bike singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the top of her lungs and screaming "Wheeeee" when going down a hill... ... Hi, I'm Sophie! Nice to meet you. 🤣 I'm usually extremely shy but I have the odd occasion where I am absolutely LOVING being on the bike and the weirdness begins to leak out. 4 Link to post
