The conference is Sunday to Tuesday (19-21) so maybe you will be back, Ymee!

The day got massively worse - I went to dr to get some painkillers for the flights (as I have to sit) and after a good long talk was advised that crossfit is probably not a good idea. The parts I thought were ok are probably not. He said even if I feel ok at the time, any kind of impact (e.g. from a jump, skipping or just a push press) is putting strain.

That leaves me with swimming up and down and walking in the shitty Fall weather.

((ITG)) oh no :-(

MrS says I have made a basic error in my choice of waterproof gloves. I was worried about getting hot handed and not being able to strip away my muddy layers at the end. I didn't know it was burglar bill I was going to proffer Heidi 🐐 but that's easier:-)

Oh dear ITG :( I hope Dr had some useful suggestions for treatment as well as their "don't do" advice.

lol - waterproof gloves with missing bits does seem a little odd Seren :)

I don't think there's any proof that cramp and salt are linked - but some people do seem to swear by it -- tbf, I think the link with the driving is stronger. Hope you don't suffer the same again this yr RRR luck

forgot what else I was going to say, OH has football on the TV - it's too loud and I'm hoping a little glass of something red will drown it out.....

ITG, have you got that book yet? It may help, perhaps you could pick it up while in Edinburgh.

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
