Ian - start with one wall sit a day for one minute, you can do that whilst on the phone 😉
Just confirmed my entry for Conne 2025, I had deferred. RO sends a discount code for full value to avoid a lot of DNS's on the day.
So tempting to upgrade to the ultra but as I'm barely able to complete a marathon right now that would be foolish. 🤣

WP, all we have in the van is the roll out bed and a simple mattress topper from The Range! I do bring my pillow from home as well. At home we did get a new mattress about 18 months ago I think it was, and it’s a good one, comfortable etc. I wonder if it’s just being on holiday, being outside all the time etc makes me sleep well.
Ross-on-Wye parkrun this morning, plus the mile there and back, for 34 for the week. Happy with that.
It’s quite a small event, 2-lapper on grass tracks near the river. Enjoyable and they have a clubhouse there servicing drinks etc, but I had to get back as OH and I have plans today.

Shades: I do feel better today.Yesterday I felt awful most of day.
great news on Conne and yes marathon seems the sensible option ;-).
Big G I imagine it is all the above that makes you sleep well.
Just a short run 30 minutes laps of the Rec as the heavens opened and it was lashing it down.Back home change and in my ice pod for a whole 12 minutes the water temp is 19 degrees so did but some ice in it. I think I will aim for 15 minutes whilst temps are warmer then 10 minutes when temps are lower.

Big G - maybe that frustrating drive yesterday helped you sleep too.
WP - good you're feeling better and enjoying the ice pod.

Things haven’t gone exactly to plan as we came home last night. OH, Tigg and I all fine but Dad has taken a turn for the worst so I think I need to be close by. His partner has been sitting with him all day yesterday and overnight and needs a break. On the positive the journey only took 2hrs30 this time.
He’s not eating or drinking, and is very unwell. The GP did go up last week and there’s some kind of pack on the bedroom door which I think has instructions that he wants to stay at home regardless, has a DNR note and I think has strong medication for pain relief, that I believe the district nurses can administer if he needs it (not totally sure on all this, I’ll find out later). He’s bounced back from a lot the last 3 or 4 years but this does seem a bit different somehow.

Big G - so sorry to hear your Dad is so poorly. At least you weren't too far from home and can be with him.
5 miles this morning, back a bit niggly but OK, cool, felt fresher today.

Really sorry to hear about dad and hope he pulls through: Big G
Hope back settles down again Shades.
It did feel fresher this morning 12 degrees when I went out but 25 degrees at the moment!! First time RHR stayed down and not flucuated so fingers crossed still fatigued.
