Yumee
Went out for a walk with dog, knowing full well I could break into a run if I felt like it...tried...lasted about 30 seconds. Walked the rest. Stupid knee. Really, really pissed off. I was being good, following a plan, not doing anything silly. Why does my body fall apart when I try to do anything just a bit more interesting? *collapses in heap of self-pity* *remembers there are considerably worse things happening all the time to millions of people* *gives self a good slap* *considers trying a bike ride instead....*

That resonates so much with me Yumee :-( Even down to the bike ride - I'm just back from 11.98 miles on my bike (I put in an extra little loop near home to try and get the round 12 but misjudged it :-( )

I thought it would be sensible to recce the bike route for the tri I'm doing in May. Mostly ok, *except* there is a hill up to the racecourse on the way back into town which I was just too chicken to tackle. It's a very busy road, and I could see some roadworks half way up, so it would have just freaked me out, frankly, to be in my bottomest, granniest gear with a load of cars and lorries nipping at my wheels. I shall do the route again, but perhaps when the evenings get lighter, or on a Sunday morning, when there's less traffic about. The detour I took did add a good mile+ to my ride so all was not lost though!

Busy playing catch-up ..

Quick update on my Mum. I've checked up on her and she's doing fine after her fall (nothing broken - just some cuts and grazes). I'm taking her out for an early Mother's Day meal this Sunday with my Sister and BIL. The recent mention of Premier Inn and their 'good night guarantee' prompted me to blog about my own experiences.

Sigh - I've met Plodding Hippo (but not at parkrun).

Rosehip - last time I stubbed my toe was on a walking holiday .. my toes were already a bit bruised and I was hopping around my room.

Kim - your post (16th) reminded me of 'games' at school in the Winter when I sometimes couldn't do up butons on my shirt as my hands were so cold.

Fleecy - what's that? You have to moon another 700'er to be a proper member? Who wants to volunteer to come along to my nuddy swim in that case? ;) Or someone could join me at the Nudefest 5K in JUly ;) :)

Columba - well done christening your new shoes.

Like Rosehip, I've just re-organised my bedroom and can now fit in a badly-needed second wardrobe (to replace a cupboard being removed - long story). I'm using it as a good time to re-organise (de-clutter) things.

Still not run but hoping/planning to be at tomorrow's club run with LD.

Sigh - well done re the intervals.

Okay, best laid plans and all that. We need to go and look at new bathroom stuff and the only time the company can fit us in is (drum roll..) tomorrow morning. So unfortunately, my return to the Thu club run will have to wait until next week and I'll go for a toddle around Bishops Cleeve instead.
