Lip Gloss 10 Jul 1:44pm, 10 Jul 2024 76,599 posts	0 Lip Gloss I forgot to put my knee support on today and body pump with squats and lunches has taken its toll.

Groundhog 10 Jul 3:20pm, 10 Jul 2024 6,301 posts	0 Groundhog I had a bit of a mare trying to do FLaps on Saturday. I hadn't thought of the logistics of turning up to a marathon (4.38mile laps along the Thames at Staines) and doing 5k laps each hour - I kept having to stop in the pub for a "rest". Logged 4 laps OK then was in the pub using their loo for logging the 5th lap and (not having reading glasses) missed that it hadn't gone through. Next lap I was out of the FLaps game so thought Bugger It, I might as well finish the marathon here and stay in the pub for the football. That actually worked well enough and the medal was lovely The medal is of Discworld with a quote on the ribbon from the wizard Rincewind which says "Everything hurts and I think I'm dying"
LazyDaisy 10 Jul 3:44pm, 10 Jul 2024 40,430 posts	0 LazyDaisy 🤣 Groundhog! Well done on not dying though Been to my PT session. We discussed my knee and its accomplice the IT band, so instead of pogo jumps I had the 'pleasure' of rolling it on the knobbly roller. The fact that it hurt like hell on that side, but barely at all on the other, must say something. So daily rollering on my own smooth roller is my homework for this week! Another fab session and I increased both reps and weights #feelinggood
ITG 🇮🇸 10 Jul 3:56pm, 10 Jul 2024 17,839 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 So glad you didn't die, Groundhog. OH might need that. We are only on day 2 of 5 days of "nice walks" (hiking but don't tell him that). Conquersized Flateyjardalur today

Sombrero 10 Jul 7:58pm, 10 Jul 2024 14,232 posts	0 Sombrero Hurrah for not being dead. Great photos and lunching and lunging. 700 hit AND I was 2nd male at the Community 5K! I was very close to my course PB of 23.07. Waiting for official results. Mr Whiskers said he's proud of his dad.
