Morning.
Lyrics - When you try your best, but you don't succeed
I am battered and bruised after yesterday's visit to the physio but hoping to feel better for it in a day or two. Apparently my knees are worse because I can't run as much as usual or do my usual strengthening work because my knees are bad..............she's sent me through a programme of exercises that she thinks I'll be able to do without further aggravating them so I need to give that a try.
Another lovely morning and hot day in prospect. The combination of how I feel and the heat will probably mean that it's a short run this morning. Stuck in front of the screen this afternoon.
What: short and easy battered body permitting
Why: sanity
Last hard: imagining things returning to how they were before Covid 19
Last rest: 16/6
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

LMH: Hopefully the exercises will help your knee and you will enjoy the heat!
Nothing well a mile this morning Achilles not happy so came back it will feel so much better for the rest tomorrow.I have done all my rehab exercises but I guess some days are like that also good as slept badly with the heat!
Miles makes smiles.

Lyrics: believe so
Yesterday's were Hallelujah Freedom, Junior Campbell
What: whatever the legs decide, stretches
Why: running to feel. Will be running earlier than usual to avoid the heat...and the legs often don't like running early.
Hope the new exercises help, LMH.
It feels hotter here than it did at this time yesterday Alehouse and my legs are battered, even after a four mile walk. I think it will be a few very slow miles for me if that. How are you bruised and battered bits?
What: 8.2k preceded by stretches
Why: get it done. As predicted it was a struggle this morning. So that's this week's MLR. Warm but more of a breeze today.
Bruised bits aren't stopping me running, LMH, but the left knee is tender in particular and can't kneel on it properly which compromises some of the stretches! Left elbow not much better! Whilst I ran in shorts today, I still wore gloves and a long sleeved top as am scared of falling. And not surprised that you also feel battered post physio.
Chose yesterday, the hottest day of the year, to start putting in the foundations for a path. Probably more of that later.
alehouse of course that was the lyrics!!!
today's I know instantly....
LMH re things going back to how they were before, I am with you. I cannot imagine. I saw a video of people getting off trains at Bournemouth yesterday , like a swarm of ants!!! Hope the exercises help, sure they will.
alehouse, this heat is too much for me, I don't like! Nice running and stretching by you
Poppy I am with you this week, my body is telling me to back off
what: 3.4 mile walk and 3 slow mile run
why: that is more than enough, walk was with friend then ran alone
last hard: this morning
last r est: 31/12/16
Thankfully I slept really well last night!!
I also find it strange on how we can all get back to normal although different for us in Wales.But the pictures I have seen,it seems a second wave will happen .

Not the best timing with the path Alehouse. Hope your knee feels better soon. You should see my post physio bruises!
Different for you at the moment Poppy but still the same issues when it comes to returning to 'normality'.
LMH - understand how the body must feel after a battering. My fizz is only open for priority cases (injuries) at the moment but I think proper service starts next week.
Ale - good luck with the DIY and be careful with that knee
WP - well done for being sensible!
As for normality returning, well I guess there is a weigh up between carrying on with lockdown or a gradual return to normality. I suppose there remains the possibility of a second spike, but there are also the risks to health associated with a continued shut down, economic closure and continued delays to other medical treatments.
What - lunchtime 6miles
Why - Mad dogs....
last rest - Saturday
last hard - today was a little "Toasty"
lyric - definitely, yes!
My point really Dustin is that what we are moving towards at the minute isn't normal as it was before and I don't think we'll get there until we have a vaccine. Definitely mad to be running at midday in this heat.
I would imagine it to be pretty tough in the heat at lunchtime, Dustin!
Hazel, unfortunately Dustin will not be finding a cool pub to escape to; no alehouses open here until July 4th at the earliest. In fact was just hearing of one that won't be opening until the 18th or later.
Too hot to do much in the garden; from tomorrow it will be probably too wet! Rain forecast here from 9 am until Sunday pm. I do hope that is wrong. Warnings of localised flooding.
Concern is sometimes expressed over the concentrations of oxalic acid building up as the season progresses. However, this build-up is mostly in the leaves which are not eaten and the amount in the stalks is not sufficient to have a toxic effect.
Yeah, we are a long way from a return to normality and like LMH stated, I can't see normality being restored until we have a vaccine and the majority of people is immune.
Hazel: Good you can enjoy your time off without having to travel.
Enjoy your easier week, wabo.
Hope the bruises are easing soon, ale.
After more than 4 weeks in confinement I'm slowly but surely going stir crazy. I really miss powering myself out ... s&c simply doesn't cut it. Oh well, just have to grin and bear it I guess
Keep forgetting to post.
Intervals on Monday then an easy 5km today
Too hot, Lucas struggling to sleep
Lmh good physio is back open.
Yes to lyrics
Chick how's the toe?
Ale sounds like bruising improving?
Have a lovely evening all. Hoping it cools down tonight!
Now down to one carer/daughter although she is still in quarantine.
Didn't realise that you had had two daughters home, OH/Els. The second via Switzerland?
