My newt for today is taking the dog for a walk whilst I rode my bike. Didnt hurt the toe as much as walking does. He seemed to enjoy it. Not sure my toe did when I hit it with the pedal!

Two newt badges for me today. 150 squares in WSW and 30 miles of walking (all logged purely for WSW!)

I was wearing just a T-shirt (well other clothes too but not a something long-sleeved over the T shirt is what I mean) earlier today - the first time it's been warm enough to do that since last summer/autumn. It didn't last very long though and I now have a fleece and a bodywarmer over said T-shirt

I was hoping for a really exciting newt but it's not to be.

The first part was successfully renewing my 2nd claim Masters club membership. That was fine but then I hoped - as per advertised in the club magazine - to be able to ENTER A TRACK AND FIELD COMPETITION at Lee Valley on April 18th. Was hoping to long jump, run 100m, and possibly throw things. But boo hoo hoo - no sooner had they booked the venue than it had to be cancelled due to lack of officials.

So I'm newtless (ish)

Longest run and almost faster of the year (1 faster but that was 1.5+m shorter)

About to make crumble for first time in years

Unless watching indoor triathlon on the tv counts as a newt I haven’t done anything :-)

Treadmill is a curved one that is powered by running so no electricity involved
3 x swim bike run if various distances and random order

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
