A bit fed up here too - agreed with physio that I wouldn't run today so stretching and foam rolling is all I can do. Might go for a little walk later. Really hoping leg recovers miraculously for tomorrow after the pummelling it received
Snow is thawing, everyone must have done so much panic buying that they don't need anything this morning - never seen Sainsbury's so empty on a Saturday! Am assuming the thaw will continue and the pavements will clear - so will run a loop on way to putting chickens to bed this afternoon - need to clear the town-based Fetchpoint bugs
Hope everyone gets heating and hot water back soon. A friend was doing 20 miles this morning. Said I would join her for an hour. Did two and a half hours. Just over half marathon. Tough going on the snow but loved it.
Bottle of red sounds good SW (()) Meglet for 40 minutes of yoga The farmer has been on the go all morning. We're still cut off, but I can get over a mile from my house so hope I have squished at least one bug or two!
Oh Meglet that's mean of the gods to give you a cold when you've already lost out on your ski trip :-(. GWS.
Sarah I did what I could from my usual stretching and strengthening class plus some yoga poses I have done (though not for too long a time) ever since I was a yoga regular decades ago. I still find downward dog a problem with my wonky arm However, my planking today was much better than it's been for ages (though my side-planking is cr@p :-()
Then I jogged the long way round down to the pharmacist to pick up a prescription. It was excellent underfoot - still crunchy but not slippy snow Stupid pharmacist was shut as the pharmacist 'couldn't get in' - this was the case, perhaps understandably, yesterday too, but really there's no excuse today. My prescription isn't urgent but there will be people running out of tablets which are all packed up ready to hand over but the shop staff aren't allowed to give them out if the pharmacist isn't on site. Harumph.
Anyway, I enjoyed my run and made sure, by running past the shop and back again, that I clocked up 5k to make up for our cancelled parkrun
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2018 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.
Next year's spreadsheet can be found here - let's fill it up
