LazyDaisy 23 May 7:49pm, 23 May 2024 40,147 posts	0 LazyDaisy I had to run-walk this morning as my knees were extremely painful. The only new thing they've been subjected to is that I've introduced a one minute wall-sit to my morning routine. Perhaps once they're used to that the pain will subside, but I didn't expect a wall-sit to give my knees a problem

TeeBee 23 May 9:15pm, 23 May 2024 10,352 posts	0 TeeBee I was all up for that paddle-boarding day, but then had to have a medical procedure and couldn't risk getting falling in I was so sad. And I still haven't met Mandy Mooo f2f

LazyDaisy 24 May 8:45am, 24 May 2024 40,148 posts	0 LazyDaisy Morning. I'm going to give the wall-sit a miss today as I want to run with the Friday group and I won't be able to if my knees hurt like they did yesterday. Maybe I need to build up the time or the angle a bit - who'd have thought one minute at 90* would cause such a problem Anyway, enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend (if you have one? Not sure about Scotland) and may your knees and everything else stay grumble-free! Oh, nearly forgot - I think my TCS medal and T shirt was delivered just before 5pm yesterday. (A clubmate found his on his back doorstep when he got home from work.) I can see from our CCTV that a postman came to our front door holding a package. He didn't ring the bell so either put it through the letterbox or left it on the front step. If it's the latter, it'll be there til we go home next Wednesday! I've asked a neighbour to have a look. It would be the cherry on the top if it got pinched off thd doorstep having waited this long for it!!
Autumnleaves 24 May 8:57am, 24 May 2024 20,022 posts	0 Autumnleaves LD - a minute is quite a long time, I would start with 30 seconds. Drive your heels into the ground as much as you can and focus on activating your glutes. Make sure you flatten your back to wall too x
ITG 🇮🇸 24 May 8:58am, 24 May 2024 17,722 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 I met Little Miss Carp and Malt Drinker for a swim and natter last night. Lovely! (For me anyway). They are off on a jaunt today then running tomorrow but there shall be malt drinking in due course.
