Today we went out for a read across the water to the Fish Quay and back….
Annoyingly, I paused the recording and missed bits out, which is a shame, as it was easy more than 10 miles…
Category: Exercise
And now with added padded shorts….
So it seems we are back on it then, and aiming to get out every night. Tonight was a quick jaunt around to the local parks, keeping off the road if we can.
Just need to keep it up as they say….
Cheers

The goal for this week was to make it to South Shields and back…. We did it!
So it’s good to be able to report that we made it, South Shields and back and no one got hurt! But I am tired, and my butt hurts…. Eva says her new saddle is great so that’s one less thing for her to worry about. It became clear in the middle of the week that this would be achieveable to so its great that we did.
The weather tried to conspire against us, but again we managed to miss the rain, and the hail… but we did seek shelter at one point…. The park has a small railway and the station was a good place to keep dry!
This photo was taken just before the heavens opened, as we’d relocated from park benches!
So the route then…
So glad that we did it, but tired now!
Catch you laters.
Sorry for the Jimmy Nail…..
So that’s another bike ride complete, as we map our way around Hebburn and Jarrow. At the start of the week, I thought about we might make it to South Shields by the end of the week 10 mile (ish) return. I thought it would be a push but it seems not.
Electric is making all the difference, and for the past two days its been 6 miles, and its been ok. Today with the wind was more of an effort, but we are just in week one.
This is harder than it should be!
So I’ve already posted about the bike, and I might have mentioned its bigger than I expected, bigger to the extent it doesnt work well in my shed! I’ve been looking at storage and its no fun. Nothing really works, so I’ve ended up with another shed.
I’d prefered something different, but it will have to do. I even went for a ride to the park to pop the bike next the bike store I liked and nope, not even close.
So, I find my self sat here for another week of working from home and my mind has gone off on a little wander. Now, its not because there is nothing to do, far from it.
Whilst the image is representative, it’s definetly not true. No Mac, No clear desk, no coffee… no plant… the list goes on.
But, it’s meant to represent working from home, which is the well and truely the new norm and it continues to the be the case, with no real end in sight. Best guess now, for me, September or later as not essential and I can work from home, but there would need to be changes, like moving upstairs etc to work. I would like the dining table back I think!
But, to be fair, its been a workable solution to two of us working from home and its ok. But it will probably move on.
Cycling continues this past week and extended the range I’ve been doing with each new ride which is pleasing. I shall continue to build from the starting point and see where it goes. The other half has now also purchased a bike to so we will be able to go out for a wander together soon.
Enough for one day.
Cheers
So if you’ve read my previous messages, you will now know that I own a bike, and am trying to do exercise.
So voila, here is the latest ride:
So still a work in progress, but its getting better… Relive is a 30 day trial, no idea if i am going to pay for it…. its £3 a month or so…. Any thoughts?
Lastly, it’s still mid pandemic here, so stay safe, maintain that social distancing and get that fresh air!

So yesterday, changes did happen, and I tried to amend some of the bad habbits. I went for a swim after work and put a bit of exercise through the body. The steam room was fun, if not for being obscenely warm. But, it is a start none the less.
During the day, more water was had, and thats important as I suspect thats a big one, I’ve missed from being good. I also managed breakfast, the chrunchy nut cornflakes, in an attempt to cut the amount of breakfast crap.
Lunch is more of a challenge as not been ready to make and prep, so thats the next one. But with honesty in mind that’s next week at the earliest.
So, it feels a bit of a mixed bag and keeping the head above water, but its treading water. More foundation blocks to be bulit and deployed and then a step change.
Cheers

Hello,
Another week, and weekend survived… By and large, its been positive and food hasn’t been too bad. It was nice to refuse a creme egg from Matt. I guess, I ‘ve been more organised, and the morning routine has been adjusted to allow it to work.
Hey ho. Off to to the gym I go.
Cheers
Steve
