Monday 26th June 2017 I look at you all,

alehousealehouse ✭✭✭
Morning! 

Lyrics: I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

What: zero

Why: crying on the bench

Hoping to get back to sleep for a couple of hours, but can't get leg comfortable. Currently icing. Working today, so will have to see how I cope with that. Lots of people worse off, I keep telling myself!

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning again!

    Managed to get another couple of hours sleep, and yes, I think the ice helps. Not sure that work will, though!

    Good to see that 90 minutes yesterday doesn't count as a LSR for you, LMH! Enjoy this morning!

    Hope everything goes to plan today, OH, and that Helen's life is well celebrated.

    Morning
    What: traveling
    Why: work
    Last hard: getting to car hire to find (despite my reservation) there was a2-5 hour wait for a car. I cancelled my reservation ( with no guarantee of refund) and got on train. Will arrive at work 2 hours late.
    Lyrics: nope

    Ale that sounds bad.

    Oh we were also celebrating Helen this weekend but presumably another one. Hope it goes as well as it can.

    Would like to run this evening but after the morning I've had, sleep may win.

    Have a good day all.

    SC: unfortunately the exercises for an insertional Achilles injury are different from the more conventional Achilles problems, I understand...if that is what I have!

    Travel nightmare, em. Hope your day has calmed down a bit.

    Is the achilles still grumbling then, ale?

    Hope you both had good runs, Poppy and LMH.

    We've lost wabo ...

    What: hour in the gym - bit of cardio and bit of strength

    Last rest: a week
    Lyrics: no

    Afternoon What: 4.45 (giving almost 13 total for the day) Why : Collecting the jalopy. Lyrics: Still no. Hospital fees less than expected and the jalopy drives fine again. Better day at work though things were dodgey at the beginning of the day. Who knows what tomorrow brings?

    Chick: Great work on your gym work well done:-)

    Postie: good news on Jalopy being let out of hospital and decent distance running:-)

    I ran a good 7 miles today it is as if my body know it is Lake V so has to behave:-) long may it continue.

    ALF: Always a little further

    Afternoon again!

    ChickWabo  is on holiday or just back. Re Achilles, if it is indeed the Achilles, I'm struggling to walk! My previous Achilles problem on the other leg was quite high up and I have been very careful to prevent injury to my good one, having had an op on the first in 2012. This time it is where the Achilles attaches to the heel at the lower end, and I don't have much experience of this, and it is far less common, apparently. It could of course be something else but having talked to a friend who used to be the RW doctor, and indeed, GB Team doc, he says let everything settle for up to a week before seeing anyone, with plenty of icing in case it is a soft tissue injury. Icing rarely helps the Achilles itself as the blood supply to it is so poor. And good training from you!

    Frustrating, Emz!

    It sounds hopeful then if the ice is helping Alehouse?

    Are you still banned from running chicksta? You are very good about getting in the gym and doing what you can even though it can be very frustrating.

    It was good thanks Poppy.

    Good news postie - it's not often these things cost less than we expect. Nice mileage too. I keep thinking about maybe doing doubles but can't seem to motivate myself like I did in my tri days - it's not so much the getting out and doing but the getting clean again after.

    Hope your day got better emzap.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    I bought choc chip cookies about an hour ago. My day improved a lot!

    Ale it sounds like it's getting bad quickly...

    The hard part I find is the thought of the return journey. Last time i used to double up it never seemed so hard though i was a bit fitter in those days.

    A hard day but fitting tribute to Helen, one of the most selfless people I have ever known.
    Return home on Wednesday.
