Sunday 20th September 2020 - I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Great news Hazel - hope the move goes smoothly. Not good about the boiler, hopefully it was warmer there than here, I definitely wouldn't fancy a cold shower.
Hope you are safely home Els and OH. No bike ride for me yesterday, too windy for it to be enjoyable.
Good to hear from you em - hope Lucas slept last night.
No idea what the knee/hip are going to feel like when I get going but I wasn't woken by them last night so that's progress. The forecast for tomorrow morning is lovely for a run so I may not try today and hope that an extra day's rest makes for a better run when I do go.

Lyrics: yes!
Was wondering how things were, Emz!
Difficult to know what to say about your knee/hip situation, LMH!
What: probably about half an hour easy running
Why: easy day after two fairly hard days
Back later.
Home sweet home...even arrives on time at 11 pm and house wasn't too cold! Thick fog blanketing Kirkwall though. ..apparently had been a lovely weekend .
Washing done. Cupboards empty!
So guess shopping..yuk and cooking and a walk. Keen to try a little run but not sure if it's time yet!
Emz....well done on your challenge!!
Lyrics yes
Els and oh glad you got give safe. Take care. Wow though you've been busy
Hazel hope you have a good move
Lmh another day rest could be good, son doesn't have somewhere to sell, they love in a brand new but very small council flat, second floor so this move will be great.
Chick lovely photos, hope the sore bits ease up
Emzap hope Lucas is ok now. Well done on getting that challenge done with all that going on
What 5 mile forest run with one I ran with yesterday
Why I entered a virtual race so did she do we'll crack it out together
Last hard yesterday
Last rest 31/12/16
Hope that I am soon under 200 miles to go on lejog
Possibly last chance before 2nd lockdown.
Side still sore. Would have expected it to be improving by now.
Entered local real 10k next Sunday, unsure whether I'll be fit and whether it will still be permitted ...
Not much exercise yesterday.
Lyrics a double yes
Glad you made it home ok Els and OH. Do you have to wait for the all clear from someone to try a run Els? If not and you feel like it why not head out for a gentle run/walk with some company and see how you go?
That's good Wabo, a bit less stress for them.
OH - very difficult to know what the next few days are going to bring never mind further ahead. Enjoy it whilst you can.
Glad you got home ok Els and OH.
Hard to say what will happen the next days anywhere OH. These months of not being able to plan anything are getting very wearing and there is no end in sight. Hope you have a nice swim.
Good luck if you do try a run Els.
Glad to hear from you Ems - sounds like a tough few days. Well done on completing the challenge.
Had a nice run Ale?
Enjoy the forest virtual race Wabo. Bungalow sounds like a good move - fingers crossed.
Ouch for Lola LMH. Hope she won't need too much treatment. Fingers crossed for you too for a run tomorrow if you couldn't today.
What: MLR some time this afternoon
Why: haven't done a longer run yet this week
Last hard: still no hot water...
Last rest: 30.03.
Lyrics: no
Hazel enjoy the long run. Running friends of mine have been doing some fantastic coastal routes...bit envious!
Wabo getting virtually nearer to us!
Was told I can run but to wait for a few days however this bleb on the original aneurysm worries me a little as was similar that bled the first time. I realise no one can totally say it's safe but also was a wee bit hazy in memory when consultant spoke to me as only a few hours post op
Fog is lifting but not away...much werter underfoot on walk than expected given last couple of lovely days! Went up the hill the back way and yes there were a few wee jogs going on.
Enjoy the afternoon folks.
Hazel - hope you have hot water for after your run, sounds like a strange arrangement with your boiler.
Poor Lola was very stoic and saved us a lot of time and money by allowing the vet to insert three staples in her chest wound without being sedated. I really don't like not being able to go in with her and hold her.
I'm hopeful of a run tomorrow but then I always am.
Another bad night here. Lucas' nose is streaming and I think it's just uncomfortable to sleep poor thing.
What: a few walks
Why: all I feel up to
Last hard: the past 2 weeks have been tough
Lyrics: yes
Poor Lola, but sounds like she's been brave
Hazel does your flat block all share a boiler? That's what we had in Germany and it was really annoying when it ran out of oil.
Wabo sounds like good news about the bungalow
Els/OH sounds like you're pleased to be home. Keeping fingers crossed you are ok Els.
So, challenge totals:
Raised: about £1350 (my step mum is yet to sponsor me but said she'd do 30p/km
Walked: 46 km
Ran: 119 km
Hoping to get to club tomorrow night, we'll see how tonight is...
Have a lovely Sunday all
still plodding here, 22.4m for the week.... several near falls, but stayed on my feet
Ref health and Depression ect, very much up and down esp as try to find a new role at work, which could be scuppered if we go into a second lockdown.... and thats worrying me....
Take care
