Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There's another thread for that, runfree.

This is the anger stage of the grief cycle thread.

Bargaining :)

But you can move backwards and forwards between stages at any point.

I miss:

running club, seeing friends, parkrun (quite a lot of overlap on those 3)

the ability to go back to London to see my mum and my nan

working in an office with a proper desk, being able to communicate with colleagues face to face and being able to do more than about 70% of my job

coffee shops

races

the gym

holidays/weekends away/days out

being allowed outside more than once a day

restaurants

pubs (we don’t go that often, but it was nice to have the option occasionally)

having a normal sleeping pattern

not having to meticulously plan every shopping trip and not being constantly worried about running out of stuff

being able to go anywhere more than a couple of miles or so from my house

being able to anything spontaneous

being able to make any future plans

I miss swimming. I'm in my forties but I'd just learnt. I miss practicing the swimming. I was training for my first triathlon and everything had centred around that. I also really miss human touch and when we get out of this I'd really like a hug.

From today I suddenly feel guilty for going out. As I am a slow runner all my runs take ages.. I am trying to be mindful

I miss not guilty running

And I miss my stand up desk, might have to go and get it next week as I have terrible shoulder and typing arm ache

Being able to socialise with friends, visit family and (like Lynn, above) being able to hug or touch someone other than those I live with.

I feel depressed when I do go out and get treated like I have the plague with everyone giving me an extra-wide berth or crossing the road. I fully understand the reason but this virus makes us anti-social and inhumane. Yet, neighbours and ourselves have been able to really support those who have had to self-isolate which has enabled us to show love for others where we would not ordinarily do so.

I also miss swimming Lynn101 swim :-(

Oddly I had fallen out of love a bit with it but was just starting to go again when this all kicked off. I miss the people who I used to see swimming every morning that I went. I only used to say hello but it will be nice to see them all again when this is over :-)

I miss getting my daily white Americano before work every morning and the 10% of time the milk was missing because the baristas are a bit shit ;-)
