Morning
I'm kept busy in my home office and while the systems work well, I do miss my special back-friendly chair. I'm using a couple of breaks to go for short walks so not that much time to post on here.
I also find it hard to have work invade my home if that makes sense. I really need to establish a routine where I shut the door to our study, change my clothes and go out for another walk to mimic my commute home. Otherwise I just can't manage to switch off.
Hamstring survived another 3 yesterday. I'm going to test a slightly longer run this morning. I'm prepared to walk home if it flares up.
Have a nice day, all
Comments
That's a shame Wabo - I'm on a laptop so it's pretty flexible.
chicksta - can you start by having a five minute break every hour for a stand, stretch and short walk?
Heavy frost and light fog here this morning plus a slightly early wake up call from Sammy - hope that isn't a sign of things to come. I have a bit of an annoying cough that developed last night, hopefully that's all it is. RHR is up a little but peak flow is ok.
What: short and easy
Why: sanity
Last hard: sitting on my spiky ball
Last rest: 20/3
Lyrics - no.
Lyrics: no
Supermarket d&d. Got there at 6:30 but didn't get inside until 6:50 as they are only allowing a dozen in at a time. One in, one out.
What: a gentle run at some point
Why: sticking to gentle for now
More cross training in the garden no doubt.
Tesco opens at 6. Queue started at 5 apparently!
I will also run when it is warmer: had to scrape the car windows this morning.
Just realised it is the Last Friday of the Month and I was supposed to be in London! Race cancelled of course, and I did manage to get my train tickets refunded.
They were queuing outside my Tesco at 5.45 this morning - nuts really
Wabo - My work colleague lives in Wapping and told me about Viccy Park now being closed. Had to use the Isle of Dogs yesterday....
Chick - I know what you mean about wfh. I found last week that I'd be on / off the PC pretty much all day without any structure.
Home all next week (somebody else's turn to be "in") and with lighter evenings there may be some dusk runs!
What - easy miles at lunchtime
Why - went for 9 yesterday: Isle of Dogs, Millwall Park & inner docks & Limehouse.
last rest - 17/02
last hard - sticking it out yesterday. Pace not all that but mentally challenging
Hazel - I don't know what the shops are like as have been self isolating for a week as Mark had a cough. My retired next door neighbour is going to the shop this morning and I asked if I wanted anything - it shouldn't be that way round:-( I'm having to send Mark shopping this weekend with a very detailed list (he's not usually very good at it). Glad to hear you had a good run yesterday. I think the cough is just my asthma.
Dustin - I hope that you don't have to go back in to work but from the sounds of your employer I expect you will?
How amazing was the applause last night?? any of you NHS peeps on here I hope you feel appreciated cos you are. And the teachers, drivers, posties, anyone who is keeping our world ticking over!!!
lyrics yesterday were Out of Space Prodigy
Back just niggling so I will get up an stretch in a mo
hazel have a wonderful airing!!
dustin enjoy the easy, I have run round there back inthe day of solo marathon training - viccy park couple of laps then out to the isle of dogs! Viccy park way better...
chick nice running glad the hammie is being ok
lmh and alehouse nice short and easy!
what: 4.25 which inc a phone call whilst looking at jodie and girls up on the 2nd floor at the window
why: get my fix
last hard: not cuddling Cleo but certainly nice
last rest: 31/12/16
Lyla was with her dad so I will see her that way at the weekend
Glad you got to see the girls, Wabo!
What: same run as Monday but 3 minutes quicker
Why: must have been feeling good today...or rubbish on Monday!
Still no letter or text...
In a worrying development Alehouse I've had a text from my doctors to say that they are rationing inhalers - and there was me worrying about the effect of Brexit.................
What: 5 km d&d this morning, plus Runderwear workout (10 x squats, 10sec side plank, 10 x lunges and 10 x tricep dips repeated 3 times) and gardening
Why: keeping fit and sane
Last hard: hearing about people being selfish idiots during these times
Lyrics: nope
On my run today I did some counting and saw: 8 vans, 7 cars, 1 bus, 1 motorbike, 1 pheasant, 1 donkey, 3 horses, 10 sheep, 3 white ducks, 1 runner, 14 walkers, 4 dogs, 2 scooters, 3 cyclists, 2 posties, something to pass the time and keep my mind off the current situation.
On wfh, I've done it for 3 years now and love it. I have my office set up and only use it to work and when I'm done I shut the door and am home for the day. However, I do put on washing etc in small breaks.
Hope your cough is nothing more serious LMH, take care. Isn't the advice now that everyone in the household has to stay in for 14 days if any symptoms?
Enjoy the last of the sunshine all, apparently clouding over tomorrow.
Nothing from me today I felt too ill and went back to bed for 3 hours and yesterday a 2 hour afternoon sleep!
Pernicous Anaemia nightmare no injections and given a b12 food supplement!! Will ring surgery monday to speak to GP about this the whole point is it has to be injections as it leaks from the gut!
No news on inhalers here LMH.
People are selfish idiots I really dispair over it.Then we can not get what we need but local shops have been rallying around and doing the best they can.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I'm afraid things are only going to get worse Poppy.
Poppy sorry to hear about your injections not happening!
LMH and one other on here, hazel maybe? I am looking at running jackets and I am sure you both rave about OMM? Got vouchers for my birthday
Wabo, I have a OMM Rotor jacket, and would buy it again! No hood though, not that it particularly bothers me. Too warm at times!
LMH: hope this is not famous last words, but I have a reasonable stock of inhalers.
I hope you do Alehouse though I guess the rationing could be local I doubt it.
Coconut and lime muffins made today
Seems odd about inhalers; thought they would be essential at present.
+ 5.5 h gardening
Lockdown
Lyrics no
About a week since I was last in a shop but apparently similar here.
