Morning.
Lyrics - Baby I see this world has made you sad
chicksta - you can go to the doctors? Mostly telephone/video consults here. I have no idea how/if I'm going to get my B12 jab in a couple of weeks and if I don't I'm going to feel even worse - mentally at least. It does sound as though you are far less restricted than us - can you get what you want in the shops? I haven't been this week so don't know what the current situation is.
Alehouse - ultimately it will be up to you what you do if you do get the call/letter. They can't make you stay at home but it's whether you want to take the risk of needing a ventilator yourself and possibly depriving someone else of one. That's how I'm trying to look at it when deciding what it's ok for me to do and not. I have a natural 'but I'll be fine' sort of attitude to my health that I'm trying to curb by thinking 'but if I think like that and do whatever and then MiL is ill and can't get a ventilator because someone else has thought the same how would I feel'? Not sure if that makes sense/comes across how I mean it. Sorry if not.
What: short and easy
Why: mental health
Last hard: staying sane/making some sense of the situation
Last rest: 20/3
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics no and you beat me by seconds as I was too busy reading a message, thanks!
What: unsure. Laps of the garden perhaps?
Why: difficult times
Thanks for the food for thought above as well!
What: yoga and runderwear challenge
Why: staying sane
Last hard: runderwear challenge yesterday was hard! 40 secs on, 20 secs off of lunges, crunchies, squats, plank x 4! I ache this morning
Lyrics: nope
Yesterday's were our house - madness. Thought that's where we'll all be spending a lot of time!
Dustin, according to the news your company should not be sending you in if you can wfh (which I understand you can). Hope you've managed to persuade them.
Ale take care. I'll be staying at home except for a walk today, avoiding shops etc unless absolutely necessary. At least the sun is shining again.
Have a safely distanced day all
I hope you have a big garden Alehouse - or someone who can lend you a treadie?
Emz - sounds painful!
LmH - good thinking, I think we're all finding it tough at the moment...
Ale - how many laps of the garden for a 5k?
What - a run, possibly up to the Olympic Park
Why - get out, get some air
Last rest - 17/02
Last hard - staying sane
meant to say , yesterday's run around the park was with about 30-40 others. I have to say that there was plenty of consideration for the 2m gap, with the "run on the left" observed, and overtaking done on the grass inside / outside. Honestly I think the only time I was within 2m of anyone else was back at work....
My garden is fairly small, so dread to think how many laps for 1k, never mind 5 or more. Not sure that I have space for a treadmill either!
Alehouse - no garage or shed? A treadie is much better somewhere quite cold.
LMH: Sorry to hear about idiots plenty of them about at the moment!
What 10 mile run
Why: Because I can
Last hard: the world we are now living in.
Lyrics: No
The nightmare yesterday with surgery , scripts, chemist's.Cancelling my jab appointment Thursday with no one letter ME know.Practice manager range me and no injections a tablet orally which I doubt will be as effective.....
Just one foot infront of another at the moment.
But i got out early 5.15am and no one around as even half anhour I am finding my route which is quiet is congested with runners and dog walkers.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I can't always manage 2m because of the width of the paths/trails Hazel but do try to get as much distance as I can.
Poppy - I do hope that the pill is as effective as the jab but can't see it either otherwise they'd use that normally I'd have thought? Wonder what will happen when I go for mine in a couple of weeks?
Knocked up front riser from bits in garage in 15 minutes.
Burnt of a strip of garden ready for digging.
Hancock's interventions are annoying and confusing many folk.
Would be concerned if I were totally confined to house (being in an at-risk group) as maintaining my fitness is main hope of getting through this malarky.
Chick: for clarification, I am not yet under curfew/isolation/shielding or whatever it is called...but I am fully expecting a letter to say that due to my meds that I "qualify". See yesterday's link from LMH!
The guidance is to stay totally at home for 12 weeks and not go out, which, as OH says, conflicts with the other guidance to exercise etc. I like OH's words: "Would be concerned if I were totally confined to house (being in an at-risk group) as maintaining my fitness is main hope of getting through this malarky."
In answer to Hazel's can I find somewhere "sparsely frequented": yes, plenty of places. There is a sports field a little over a 100 metres away with another field off it which no-one goes in: only 400 metres round but is long tufted grass which wouldn't look out of place on a cross country course. I ran on both of these this afternoon and only saw a couple of people on the sports field playing ball games with their young families and no-one at all on the cross country field.
Also the river bank is less than 300 metres away: currently rather busy but if I go early enough will barely see a soul, particularly if I head west. And there won't be many there when it rains next week!
All I really want to do is to be able to run gently 15 to 30 minutes three or four times a week to maintain fitness and hopefully help my breathing rather than drain the immune system: often when I haven't run for periods of time due to injury I find that my peak flow reduces.
What: about 20 mins gentle running
Why: ticking over. Plus did a fair amount of gardening if power-hosing paving counts as gardening. Judging by the amount of spilt blood on it there was some incident over night, probably between a fox and at least one feathered friend. A job that needs continuing tomorrow. Planted several trays of seeds (courgettes, mangetout etc) and a few in the ground (radishes, carrots). Could do with being self-sufficient now, not in July!
And yes, where's Chamolk?
Not had "the letter" yet but my own assessment is getting solo exercise away from others will far better my chances than getting unfit stuck in house.
DIY riser for front wheel
First day working from home and I loved it
I have run the last 2 days and managed to keep well away from anyone.
Keep well all I'll come back properly tomorrow. Just been lots going on
