Just missed a 160kg atlas stone at the weekend, the stone hadn't been cleaned in ages so it was covered in grime+old baked on tacky so the tacky on my hands just peeled that off once I got it about a foot off the ground, needed an extra 6 inches or so to be able to lap it

With a clean stone I think I'd have a crack at it, loaded a 140 to 56" on Thursday so 160 to 48 or so should be there

I think we are missing a WOW reaction option here.   That's incredibly impressive.

I've had a few cycle rides recently - nothing overly impressive, but just nice to get out and burn a few calories and get the heart rate up for a time.

On Friday I went for a 3 mile paddle in my kayak on the canal.  That was good as I haven't been out in the kayak since I injured my shoulder back in October.   Oh and if anyone's interested, I stopped at the turning point, popped the spray deck off and peed up and over the cockpit rim to make a nice arc landing in the water.

So... tomorrow is exciting!

My daughter asked me today about cycling milestones and I told her a common one is 50 miles. She told me that was way too much for her and asked me if I could go with her for 30 miles instead? YES!! So tomorrow we are going for a 30 mile bike ride together, going to get up nice and early and just enjoy ourselves. I have a route in mind with a cafe stop at 15 miles, and depending on how she feels we can either continue our ride for an additional 15 miles, or go another way and it's only 5 miles back to home. 

I am not sure why she is suddenly interested in riding a relatively long distance but I am all for it. I love our mother daughter time on the bikes.

This is lovely ❤️. I know you'll have a great time 😊

Just a 5k run this weekend and a 40mile bike ride. Legs have been stiff from a lovely shirt break at the start of the week which involved a lot of walking. It's was great to get away though so well worth the aches

I'll be fine, my body will mend. Just hope I'm not too nervous to get back on a bike, it's not very appealing at the mo

Oh! Get well soon my friend x

Lunch time today, I decided that it is not right to spend all day sat at the desk and so I took an extended lunch, put a kayak on the top of the car and went for a paddle on the canal.

A great idea @Alfresco 🙂 Hope you don't have to work too late this afternoon to catch up

Today I did some work with my physical therapist for an injury I sustained in my neck and pain in my back. She told me she can tell I've lost weight since the last time I saw her (October-January). It made me feel really great, and I feel even better because I've added 2 lb hand weights to my treadmill routine. 

My mom got me a tiny treadmill for Christmas and in Jan/Feb I started walking on it to reach 10k steps a day at least 5 days a week, but I go for 7 if I can. I don't use a scale to measure weight loss as I am a woman who gets a regular menstrual cycle that cause me to gain/retain/lose weight on a daily basis. But from pictures and the way my clothes are fitting i can tell I've lost weight and I can't wait to see how my body reacts to using the weights when I walk as well! 

Congrats on your progress @Bacardi it is difficult for many of us to go through these physical struggles and I know it's difficult but you have us your peefans family here who support you.  We believe in you

That's great. Keep up the good work.

It's been a few weeks since I got knocked off my bike and I finally felt I could manage a ride. So Friday night I got my MTB out of storage (my road bike got trashed in the accident) and got it ready for a ride..... Complete mental block. My heart says go for it, you'll be fine but my head just won't let me get on it. I've tried all weekend but all I do is stare at it. Never ever thought I'd be too nervous to get on a bike but here I am and don't know what to do about it
