I'm back!! I've caught up to page 6!! Then thought this is really silly if I try and catch up on everything all at once I'll never post again!!
Yesterday was hard but a wonderful tribute to a woman who was one in a million. I laughed and cried and as my darling huband said I even ran in the morning (which helped me so much!).
Anyway back to the thread - can you all slow down please so I can catch up properly!
Thanks for you good wishes ... Siân xx
mart has his phone sorted, and I just changed mine for a better one for going on-line, but there's no way i can keep up with this. i will be headed for the divorce courts by day two of my hols!
:-)
:-)
Its also made me think about taking up swimming too.
Sian ((Hugs))Very much the same for me at my grandmothers funeral week before last. I think of her such a lot though and my aunt read a lovely piece about her being in the sky, trees and flowers etc. Somehow true and I can conjure up her dear face, wisdom and laughter in my thoughts whenever I want-we always have that. Bless you though.
How do you feel the op went, has it made a big difference to you? Will it be worth this disappointment?
OTH...whatever re the list...I just wanted to make sure if it was slowed down a bit, that it would be somewhere handyish when I'm back at the end of next week. :-)
I'm back from the docs, and its bad news/good news time. Apparently I've torn a calf mucsle..now how in he!! did I do that? He advised me to not run for a couple of weeks but can swim. He suggested cycling, but I can't ride and don't own an exercise bike, and frankly I'm too tight to pay for gym sessions. Anyway, I also went to the running shop and got some insoles which seem to support my inner leg..my knee felt like it was about to give way, but is much better with the insoles.
Dan, sorry you're going to miss the aquathon..where's the one in October..maybe I'll come and cheer you on
Misty and OTH thanks for the advice about resting not being a total disater. Misty, the shop I go to is Frank Elford's in Mayflower Street.
you to kwilter - good to listen to the advice given
Hi everyone else - Sian are you up with us yet? I keep popping in and have about 4 pages to read to keep up.
OTH - happy for you to split the list of runs. Maybe put the next two months worth in so July and August for now and rotate that way. Happy for you to do it anyway you wish as we do appreciate your input and support.
Em - when is your next holiday? We are currently looking for an exciting September two weeks.
What kind of thing are you thinking of? September...I would love a mountain and lakes style hiking watersports holiday if I were you. not one for sitting in the sun though me.
Dan Glad you have found something else already :-) You don't let the grass grow, do you?
UK Thanks!
Dingus Up there in the nice cooling fog, how lucky is that! I appreciate it is not good for those at sea though or perhaps your guys on the roads.
Kwilter a couple of weeks will whiz by and it is great weather for swimming. Here's hoping you make a speedy recovery :-)
I'll have a look in Frank Elford's when next in town, I hadn't realised Plymouth had a running shop-my phone book goes Exeter way!
Our physio is £25. for the first session, which I am happy with...better value than a Chinese take away?
PS Really wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of you :-)

Of course you can get custom technical t-shirts (along with other items), and prices seem good too. Only problem is it looks like you have to buy individual items (icluding individual sizes, although I may have read this wrong) in multiples of 5.
I'll check local physio prices..just assumed they'd be huge. £25 doesn't sound so bad really
shame, i can't see Tshirts on there.
i just don't have the body for running vests...scary for all the wildlife in the woods...
I can't get it (or the ronhil site) to work probably due to my security settings in work. I'll have a look from home later.
Dan/Kwilter-Sorry about the bad news on the training front. Keep the chins up. Kwilter can you resort to a walking programme or is this off limits as well(See Mike H's posts)? Whatever you do build it up slowly.
kwilter - can you not get a physio referal through your doc? - mine was based as part of the practice - pretty useful as he turned out to be a distance runner
em - (totally off topic) is belle a tri coloured collie? - she looks well cute, my collie murph is flaked out having stolen half of Andy's lastnight pizza from a box outside the back door.
Overthehill, Mistymorn, Stu R & anyone i've missed - thanx for the support
She is normally here under my desk, but she is having the day off today with my other two on account of it being too hot here.
(hold your fire...I was just saying!!!)
