Wednesday 2nd December 2020 - Daddy sits on the front porch swinging
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Daddy sits on the front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
I can't sleep in hospital either Els - no idea how anyone does. If I knew that six weeks of no running would fix my knee I would be very tempted but my physio was offering that as the only possible alternative to what I'm doing now rather than as what she thought was a viable option so it could easily be six weeks off and no better when I try to start again. I'm sure it won't be long until you are back to where you were. Do you feel more confident about heading out alone now or is it too early to say?
Is Lucas sleeping better now emzap?
I'm going to try another run today as work makes it awkward tomorrow. I'll probably only manage three runs this week but it will hopefully be enough to benefit the knee (physio did say that every third day was ok), keep my tenuous grip on sanity and mean that I don't put weight on before xmas :-)
What: easy miles
Why: physio's orders
Last hard: getting out the door and through the initial pain
Last rest: 30/11

If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no (ahead of me by seconds again, LMH!)
Yesterday's lyrics were "I am a Rock", Simon and Garfunkel
What: half an hour or so easy off road
Why: about right at present
Els: look far too good! Are you sure that you actually had the procedure?
RFJ: please don't mention Monday's football! Mind you I hope Fulham keep up the good work this weekend!
Chick: calf was playing up in the night and then first thing in the morning a couple of times...and then fine all day and when I ran.
Emz: hip feels fine...but that is perhaps as I am keeping the runs shorter.
Need to get back into my stretching routine!
Ale good that it's not as sore, hopefully your calves will improve too.
Rest day here for me as I'll drop and pick up Lucas today.
Have a great day all.
Stretch Alehouse!
Ale I should have got those lyrics. Always feel disorientated when wake up and don't know if I'd had the procedure or not. And only got 2 little puncture holes too show for it! Different story aftwr my bleed in May....I looked rough!
Lmh...hope something works for the knee. I'm looking forward to running again already and definitely feel much safer without this aneurysm sitting there potentially bleeding at any time and from before I know you get no warning signs!
Emz. ..baby sleep habits are a trial....yhey do eventually settle down.
Hazel...sometimes nice to do what you feel like though I also enjoyed the daily running and you seem much more disiplined than me.
Anaesthetist said I had the veins of an alt lere ..ha ha...just not the rest of me!
So far being lazy...leisurely brekkie shower and a visit to the post choc shop for some pressies planned. Then hope for a walk. Poor daughter is in for repair of her ruptured thumb ligament this am...all fingers crossed for her and hope to see her later.
Prescription for Els: be lazy for a couple of days. I recently discovered that having any procedure takes more out of you than you think.
What: about 25 minutes
Why: intended longer...but managed to trip over a tree root buried under leaves and go flying. Good job I had gloves and tracksters on (amongst other things!). Always the left side when I fall so jarred the left wrist, cut my left knee through the tracksters...and banged the hip where I had the procedure. May be a bit tender in the morning but things could be worse! A shame as I was actually running better and enjoying it! These things happen!
Why: post op recuperation (was told no running)
Last hard: waiting on Monday and again today. Daughter not out from theatre.
Lyrics no
Els / OH - great to hear that all went well, and recovery is well under way!
LMH - ahh makes sense about the 6 weeks. I suspect it's onec of those "it might work, but we can't guarantee it" types ...
RFJ - top work
Ale - hope the niggle doesn't reappear
Emz - ah one day you'll look back on these sleepless nights and reminisce (* you won't)
What - hour of trails
Why - getting out
Last rest - 10/10
last hard - yesterday
Went out yesterday lunchtime (in London) and everything felt heavy. I was tired, lethargic, you name it, I felt it. Had intended to do some 1k reps in the park but I struggled to run sub 9s on the flat roads and the HR was sky high. Did just shy of an hour. Today I decided to wfh and get 2+ hours extra sleep.
Over the trails at lunchtime and was skipping along like a new born lamb.
Sometimes it just doesn't happen, other days, it does....
Return to coaching the village group tonight, club training back tomorrow!
Oh no Alehouse - I hope you aren't too stiff and sore in the morning.
That's a lot of walking OH. Hope your daughter is out of surgery and all went well.
