I feel pretty ok today. Rather surprisingly a short walk yesterday morning cured all the stiffness and aches in my lower back and hips. I’ve been ok since then.

Rascal Oct 2020 8:04am, 6 Oct 2020 70 posts	0 Rascal I consider myself v lucky and appear unscathed from Sunday. Although today is the dreaded second day but so far so good. Did an hours walk yesterday without issue. But will have a week off until a little run out. Trainers might have dried out by then. Will wait for Mr Postie to deliver medal now. The Virtual seemed to work out OK for most people so well done to all concerned.
Pikelet Oct 2020 8:11am, 6 Oct 2020 3,863 posts	0 Pikelet Legs still sore but improved from yesterday. I went to the gym at teatime and did a gentle 45 mins on the cross trainer which helped. Also a bit of painful rollering. Will repeat both today. I'm looking forward to the medal in the post too Rascal My OH is a postie so he should bring mine home (our own postie just gives him any parcels for our house to save him a job )
