Medal number 8 in my #12medalsformum challenge. This was a 41 mile bike ride (I did 43.5 after missing a turning). Bearing in mind I’d not ridden a bike in 20 years in January when I signed up for this I’m pretty pleased.

Medal number 7 in my #12medalsformum challenge.
I did the 12km Total Warrior but they didn’t do medals for that distance this year, so we talked the organisers into giving me a junior medal.

It still counts!

I’m a runner so I’m used to a bit of chafe, this is not that

You know that thing when you’re trying to dig up a dead tree and you give it a good tug and it snaps and you fall on the jagged edge and it goes into your leg?

I do now!

You can see my little flowerbed at the back of the garden, I even put in a lot rockery (although it needs a bit more work)

This might not look very impressive, but this was pretty much a forest when we moved in and it’s taken me 4 years but it’s finally clear

Pizza has occurred and it was good.

Possibly the best dough I’ve ever made

I am on my way home from Merica.

I have eaten BBQ and been to the baseball and also did a few works.

Cycling, running, walking, swimming all went towards the grand total!

In a very mixed up and emotional day, we’ve been to the 9/11 memorial and then went to The Stonewall Inn to cheer ourselves up again.

Still to come today: Live jazz

Just past half way through day 1 and we’ve already done Grand Central Station, been to Central Park and 30 Rock, had street hot dogs and pizza and now we’re off for cocktails!
April 6, 2025 at 7:37 PM
We’re too early at the airport to check our bags so we’ve had to go for pre-bag drop drinks first.

As a sort of pre-drinking aperitif

I’ve had “train beer” before but this is a new level of train beer

Not the most soothing start to my last day at work before a holiday…..
