Morning all, rise and shine. Getting ready for early morning swim session, then a busy day with a visit to osteopath late afternoon.
Found a physio in the village who specialises in sports injuries so will also call her and see what she can suggest.
Letter from GP says their practice boundary being redrawn and the village is now outside it, so from April will have to start 'training' new docs. Humph.
Benz - Cafe Vicolo, my fave place (Cafe des Amis) is closed on Sunday night.

Good news on the physio Helen

XXXD
Have a good day. Off for blodd test thi morning the off to work so must fly as running a bit late. Catch you all later.
Porridge and banana craving when I got home, so decided it was a good breakfast combination. Could now do with an hour of sleep now, but work beckons.
Dinner with a different man tonight, my cup runneth over... :-)
Three mile gentle recovery run for me today, after a 15 mile long run yesterday, through the sort of mud that tries to suck the trainers off your feet. Had to hose my trainers off in the back yard afterwards.
Hope everyone has a great day - going to try to stay off the forums till this evening (some hope)
Did 6.5 miles Friday in ave 8:16/Mile, broke my 10k PB, then did 17.5 miles yesterday in ave 9:05/Mile (= sub 4 hr marathon pace!!!!!!) rewarded myself with scampi and chips and enjoyed ebery lardy mouthful back on the diet now though as am up 1lb to 12:8.
orginal aim was sub 4:30 mara, may now look at about 4:10!
Morning all
Well done, all who have already run.
EP, keep plugging away about Blackpool if that's what you really want to do. If you can convince him that you're serious, that this means a lot to you and that you're really going to give it your best shot, who knows?
I've started work already. Wretched nurse is having this week's casual sick day today (wouldn't do to have it on her day off or on one of her half-days, would it?) so I've been landed with some nursey jobs. Reminded the staff of the stringent Sex Discrimination Act test they must use, though - do not THINK of asking me to do any nursing tasks that they would not ask Lay-Zee-Boy or Fizgog to do.
I might try to fit in a little run later if time and weather permit. Stood on scales this morning - they say I'm up a couple of pounds, but I haven't eaten 7,000 calories more than I need in the past week so they must be trying to have a laugh.
what happened to the t-shirt?
My teeth are, alas, unremarkable, and my claws are...well, fitting coils and removing lumps'n'bumps would be difficult if I didn't keep my talons in check.
And I'm sure I will not be guided to my favourite Lamb by following the smell of mint sauce.
Well done lamb, good to know the hamstrings not a problem.
I did no excercise this weekend (unless you count lugging sofas around) but then again the knee feels good. I moved into the new house even if it's only for weekends at the mo. Its great and the countryside is just lovely, I can't wait to get out running there. Lots of horses and dogs too, Heaven.
Can't wait to get back there next weekend
just seen your other post, thanks. looks like you solved your freezer crisis.
I'm now raring to joing the Feet-up, Freindly and Foodie club as I comtemplate lay-off. the frustrating thing is I've been off running really since nov. So now its Food, Food and more Food
Tulips, glad the knee's feeling good - DON'T RUSH BACK TOO FAST, FLM is to big a goal to risk
Thistle hotel is going to be busy, I presume they have no problem with early breakfast on Sunday.
My good news is that the bits of my leg that I managed to unknot immediately after running are hurting less than the other bits. Am now trying to work out if I can fit an hour of self pummelling onto the half hour of stretching after every exercise session. If I add a soak in a cold bath as well this could become a full-time job! Also drinking lots of extra water just in case.
no intention to rush back. I'm hoping to spend a bit of time on my feet this week, not running just walking and pottering to see if it hurts at all. Then th weekend might involve a few 5 min spurts of slow jogging but just have to wait and see.
I realised though with my rushing around this weekend I did a bit of running (just minuites at a time) but it's a start.
my main problem is stiffness being tall, so i stick to heat but you may find the combo approach helpful... i also used a high protein & carb recovery shake after long runs which also really cuts down on stiffness the next day - def recommend it, it's made by multipower but there are loads on the market. worth the investment.
Nice one Lamby - 17.5 miles is great
JJ - you have email.
Cheers, Iain
I hope Thistle Hotel do very early breakfast on the Sunday, Helen. There may be people out there who can do a marathon with nothing more substantial than a litre or two of sports drink inside them, but I'll need my breakfast cereal, narna butties, yogurt and coffee. And a doggy-bag to take to the starting pens because it's a long wait when you're in Pen 9.
Good morning you happy lot.
Wow Lamby you speedy star!
Welcome to the Darlo region Tulips....hope you are as happy here as I have been over the last 8 years!
I have that lovely warm achey feeling all over, after a quickish 12.5 yesterday morining then 6 hours doing 'mans work' boarding out the loft yesterday afternoon.
