went to work today and taught all day and survived x

also have painful back spasms so seeing my man up the road tomorrow at 1pm after haircut and covid jab.  spent today doing housework so at least the little place looks a bit cleaner

Hiya. Well done on your run. After my 7 day week i have 2 rest days now then weds-fri at work. Saw the physio at 8am today (why??) and he was hands on and gave me some exercises to strengthen my quads which i can do in bed! (nothing rude). Theres another exercise with an exercise band. I have 5.....somewhere. Could I find them? Even searched the garage to no avail, so had to buy more, meaning they will turn up when im not looking for them. So annoying.

Looked a nice lamb mince sauce today with linguine and garlic bread.

Been told not to run for a bit, but he didnt say anything about jogging right? I will be careful and try and swim this weekend.

my 7 day working week. Finished (let out) early today and thought great, go get 4 miles in, then stacked it in the park. Some cracking grazes on arm, palm and knee, but nothing gushing, so i will live and be up at 5.30am sunday to travel to work and teach! Because us Gen X-ers just get on with it. But....ow! Luckily there was another jogger 30m behind who helped me to my feet and I still jogged the last 2k or so home :-)

ah thanks for the lovely reply. Its now 5.30pm here in the UK and dinner is one. Chicken with mashed potatoes, white cabbage and green beans. And I have a very naughty pudding for later to give me the mad dreams. I had a late breakfast around 11am so thats my excuse!

You're across the pond aren't you? So about 8 hours behind I guess. Must be about 9.30am as I type.

Funny how we both managed 6.5 miles :-)

I like road runs. The fresh air, the parks, today was hills and a slow pace. I use MapmyRun and just map out a run and go and do it. A lot are repeats, or I may decide to take a different road one day. But never more than 3 miles directly from home as its a long walk if I break down.

Life in a little boutique sounds lovely. As you know my thing is Christmas Cakes so they are to be fed every week or so. I also make sourdough bread  and am Welfare Support Officer for a colleague at Sidcup, and will surprise her with a warm loaf on Weds. Note to self -  add bread flour to shopping list!

Spoke to my eldest today who managed to miss the last train home from London to Norfolk last night, had a panic and tried to ring me (I was asleep phone on silent) but managed to kip at a mates house and should be on his way back now. Kids eh? Hes 25

Hope you have had a lovely days work when you get to read this, and i will be back on the fairyland soon

Hi Maria

You just reminded me that its feeding day (every sunday lol). The pensioners will leave their Christmas dinner very happy!

I managed 6.5 miles slowly today. There is tightness behind my right knee. Seeing physio through work tomorrow 8am so early alarm .

Go do your long run. The sun has come out here and its about 12C which is ok.

managed the parkrun but very slow as suffered with big colitis flare this week and weakened by it (without going into the gory details). But I willed myself not to stop and it was still under 23 mins

I should add that that was the 5k Parkrun :-)

Beautiful day today, sunny, 10C, and no wind, started near the front with the speedsters (that used to be me once lol) and posted a 21.25, which is ok for today. Spent the rest of the day shopping and doing loads of housework.

Hi Maria

well done on 7.3 miles - thats impressive! You are getting stronger. Today I was up at 5am to run the Hampton Court Palace 10k, and thus completing the treble this year, as there are 2 x 10k and a half in the calender. A slower time as I felt my calf twinge right from the off despite a good warm up, but i managed a sprint finish to cross in 45.17, which is a 1 hr 35 half marathon pace time, so not too shabby.

Back to work tomorrow, and im cooking roast pork with crispy cracking and roast pots and greens for dinner. Yum!
