Just under an hour here yesterday after work, off road. Bit of a struggle, and this morning's 27 minutes was worse.
Wordle in four.
I am back online and getting slowly sorted thank goodness.I have run every day and found a good route so yesterday 6.5 miles on cycle track which is about a mile and half from home.
Hope everyone is doing well?
Miles makes smiles.

enjoy
you can buy a foam roller to assist - they are not as soft as they sound...
I also used to pinch an alabaster ball my wife used for flower decoration - now that really did the trick
WP
good to hear you have settled in and found a new running route.
One of the things I liked about going around the country, and indeed the wider world, was going out early morning and not knowing what I would find as a route - I have run stunning country and slumbering slums!!
alehouse
yup - not bad for a M40
I would have been within 10 min of him at the same age - recall saying that to someone (a non runner) once and they responded by saying something like "oh that's quite close" and when I put it into distance - 2+ miles behind - they appreciated that it wasn't!!
I guess the time on feet had its cumulative effect on your runs - hope it wears off soon!!
Wordle also in four - quite a unique letter combo
Hash tonight - off into the countryside!
musical references good, TS !
good hour's work, alehouse - and nicely backed up with half hour (near enough) -
similar feeling to you here, though, this morn, as the legs really struggled to get moving on my 5 miler. Was up at the rural loop, and was very windy, so arms and hands cold ! And uphill stretch into the wind in second mile didn't lessen the effort level required. Relief when it was done
Dave
Wordle... just!
You mean you didn't chose a good route and then look for a house near it.
Alehouse,
Sub 5min miles for the half, a bit above my pay grade.
A totally gorgeous day today so a pleasant plod around one of my trails. I did managed to stay in front of a couple that were walking, I have to take my small wins wherever they come.
Mick
3.5 miles this morning in torrential rain.I am tired so right distance for moment.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I was driving over the Pennines intro a vey nasty wind and rain very early this morning - quite pleased I wasn't running in it - so bonus marks to you for getting out there.
Mick
you mean they didn't have a zimmer frame
good that the weather has changed for the better for you
WP
well done !!
alehouse
by the time I got to your side the rain had stopped - of which I was pleased!
Hash last night was lovely country and riverside - beautiful night for running but I was completely knackered and completing the 5 miles required some walking
I have developed quite an acute pain inboard of my left hip in the soft tissue/abdomen area. Don't know whether it is related to my knee problem in that I am overcompensating and provoking an adverse reaction higher up or something else.
When I got out of bed it was really painful but it has eased off a bit now
Wordle in six today!!
When I got home I filled up my nearly empty tank - £102 worth of diesel!!!
No run today either - still got that abdominal pain though not so strong
I see the Convict wriggled out of his obligations after the Sue Gray report
Wordle in four today
40 minute off road, but quite firm underfoot after a day at the chalkface. I note that summer is here: 14 degrees, wet and windy. I trust it is better for the Roses T20 tomorrow evening, although I doubt that the temperature will be that high! Will be wearing my thermals!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
yup - it's expensive stuff just now
Good news about your club excursion - it will make quite a difference to you to be running with others
alehouse
you may double layers of thermals if the forecast is to be believed!!
I stepped out this morning for a short walk to see how my abs pain was progressing (it wasn't!) an it was decidedly chilly - I was pleased I had put a fleece on.
Wordle in three today - an appropriate word as well for this time
Much cheaper here but as we have huge oil reserves I would hope so. Good luck with the group run.
TS,
Is the ab pain an injury or something else?
I hate the concept of a privileged elite class that is above the standards that govern the rest of us. It exists in the corporate world as well and as an exec I reacted harshly whenever I bumped into it. It did not make me popular but you can't take the council house kid out of the CEO no matter the fancy titles.
My doc is changing my allergy meds again so bad day yesterday, new med seems to be working today but I'll recover today and run tomorrow.
Still doing Wordle, 3 today
Mick
Yesterday had a run planned, but erstwhile "marathon mentee" of pre-Covid time asked if I'd accompany her on a "jeffing" session, so 30 mins of walk/run ensued. Was happy to oblige; she'd reached a good level (17 miles run), but now starting back at "Couch to 5K" level, as completely lost fitness, and gained fair bit of weight, over last couple of years.
Exciting news re the club, WP !
Dave
Off to evening cricket shortly, armed with waterproofs, thermals etc. Currently 14 degrees and blustery to say the least. My seat is in front of the pavillion...where I will probably spend most of my time! Will Wordle before I go!
Club sounds interesting, WP!
Ran over to a less locally located parkrun this morning. 6 miles before & 1.5 after, so 10.5 in the diary, to keep up the Saturday double-digit sequence.
Dave
6.5 miles this morning and it was warm.Cycle track then roads back to home a nice route.Highest mileage week since February and no rest day.
Dave Another great double digit run well done
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Decent week, WP!
Cricket was chilly...and a tie was about right!
Just over half an hour today; easier day after yesterday's exertions.
Wordle in 4.
that was a good sandwich
so, spill the beans - how did the thick crust before affect the parkrun time?
WP
a good outing for you and some new contacts in the area -all good
Mileage is creeping up
Mick
we still have large reserves of oil and gas but that doesn't seem to affect the price here - market forces rule!!
Hope the new meds work for you.
The world is full of them (the privileged ones!) and there seems to be ever more as well. Add onto that the furore of minority pressure groups "outraged" by everything real and imagined and the dinosaurs are losing ground.
I have been having small stabs for a good few weeks now on an intermittent basis but it has got a lot worse over the past week . It feels as though it should be muscular as it only occurs when I move the thigh but its not easing off much - if at all!
alehouse
hope you have thawed out!
I am off to watch my g'daughter competing with her cocker spaniel in agility trials - and it's chilly out there - could be a long day!
Wordle in six today - only had two letters in the right place after five - saved by my knowledge of 60's pop music!!
not very agile here, but managed 7 miles this morn with chum - fairly hilly (and chilly at 8am) too.
as you asked
Anyway, was pleased I'd done it - and caught up with a few clubmates, one of whom is attempting a BG round on July 1st . . . .
had intended a walk home, but legs felt a bit mashed, so the bus pass came in handy
Dave
Quite chilly here, also: only about half an hour on tired legs, most of which I suspect is from sitting down marking for large parts of the day. Today's run took me over 100 miles for the month, which is one of my targets, and over 48k for the week.
Yes, I thawed out, TS, although being a sucker for punishment I had a further couple of hours at today's T20. Thermals underneath still, plus cap. About 14 degrees but felt cooler.
Wordle was very strange today: a word that I have never heard of. Done and dusted in 5, by chance.
good going on a tight congested course!
super day out at the dog agility trials - apart from the squall that swept in across the N York Moors from the sea and which felt like sleet!
a first prize an two fourths were the rewards which were remarkable considering she and the dog are novices in their first year and are competing in open classes
alehouse
i hope you missed my rain!!
great target to hit - 👍
as I said 60s pop music - Roy Orbison🙂
wordle in three today - no musical references required
nice totals, alehouse - prompted a check of my diary, and pleased to say I'm over 100 too, with a day to go (today will be a rest day). Seem to be managing some c.c.
Just wish I was quicker !!
Dave
Wordle in 3 also: couldn't see any alternatives today.
Just in from an easy (it wasn't) paced run with my M77 neighbour. Off road in the main, and in the main it was wet and 9 degrees. I have succumbed and put the heating on!
Dave
They run most days different groups etc but Monday suits me so will stick to Monday's I can come for 6 times before joining club.I said if after next week I still like it I will sign up.
Achilles was moaning on last mile and I was a little worried but as rest day today it is fine after a walk around Morries.
Miles makes smiles.
