Kinky is not overly impressed with my nightly pickings Done a few runs over the last couple of weeks, but definitely heavy-legged still. Hoping to get some spring back soon.

I don't like being beaten. I was telling a club-mate last night about chatting with you flanker back at the school on the Sunday morning
flanker Aug 2013 12:48pm, 14 Aug 2013 14,471 posts	Quote Pin flanker yep, going to be back again next year (assuming I can get in!). I most certainly don't like being beaten 4 times in a row. At least now I know that I am more than capable of it if I can keep my body together (or more to the point now I've got some sensible medical advice about what I can do with painkillers to keep me moving if I do get problems). I also know that I can keep moving even when the feet are falling apart, even if the after effects aren't much fun. Just wish I didn't have to wait 12 months to put this to bed...
