Morning all, welcome back Ceal, off to Welsh Wales now
Catch ya all later
Have had computer problems again this morning! GRRRRRR!
BF sounds like good news, fingers crossed.
Ceal, welcome home, I missed you
DDP have a good trip to Wales.
Hi Peeps!
I coudn't be bothered to go out for a run this morning. Another rest day.
Good news about your leg BF.
We had a great holiday despite the gales and rain over the last week but that only kept us in one whole day when it was really gruesome. However, the climate in Madeira is lovely.
Come home for a physical rest, did something every day bar one. Legs OK but knees objecting. I was relaly impressed with my fitness, ie heart and lungs, when tackling the hills and mountain sides but was unimpressed with aged knees comming down said hills and mountains. The longest walk we did was 26k, we achieved that in just over 5 hours, the book said allow 8 hours! In the middle of that walk was a 3 and half k of 3 in 1 hill, straight up and then straight down. It took me about 2 days to recover from that little episode.
The only other thing I have to say about Madiera, before I bore you all, is about the Levada Walks. Walks along the side of their waterways. One walks along an 18 inch wall, which is fine until there is nothing on one side of you except a 1000+ sheer drop. I do not suffer from vertigo but it was very scarey. I spoke to one lady who I met who had witnessed a fatal accident on one of these walks. I am about to write to the Madeira Tourist Board about it. They have put some wire ropes up when the Levada goes round a corner but MORE needs to be errected. Lots of EU money is being ploughed into Madeiran for roads and tunnels, I, therefore, think that money should be spent on safety too.
I have only run about 30 miles over the 2 week holiday, so I hope that it will not be too difficult to get back into some decent training.
NOBODY has been round the house whilst we have been away.
Stewart starts his new job tomorrow, so he will be away now in the week until we sell the house, so I will be a grass widow, anybody want to cut my grass?
I have read some of the postings and came up with one about you and a finger, but I could not fathom out what you were actually doing with the finger.
I suppose one has to start with an X-ray, but I would not think that it will tell you very much, I would have thought a scan would be more revealing, but I think you have to see a consultant for that. If you do make sure you see a consultant who is used to dealing with sports people, not just oldies, which you are NOT. Ask Hippo what she thinks.
All the best for your Mum's appointment tomorrow. It is sounding beter than hopeful.
When is your next half?
I must do some serious training if I am to keep up with you at Brighton.
How long does it take to drive to Wales from the south coast, it is quite a long way, n'est pas?
Good news for my Mum. The Consultant says he is almost certain that the problem was the side effect of the pills she was taking.
I feel like sorting out the doctor who said she most likely had cancer = physically I mean.
When I ran the London Half Marathon earlier this year I ran a raffle at my local pub to raise money. One of the prizes that I gave was 'A morning for 2 on the gallops at Lambourn'. Tomorrow, I have to take a very lovely lady and her even prettier daughter to watch the horses. I may think I'm in heaven.
