| About Me | |
|---|---|
|
Light-loving old lady who wakes up and moves in Spring and Summer then hibernates and blubber feeds for the rest of the year. Ex-runner, ex-cyclist, ex-walker, stbx-swimmer unless I get lucky.
My goals often exceeded my ability but it was fun trying - sometimes type 2 fun! I have imposter syndrome about my only Guinness World Record, and Bruce Springsteen 'Glory Days' as an earworm. 2024 goal - to replace both knees so that I can walk and cycle. Sadly, running won't be allowed. Done. On the road to recovery. 2023 - Thames Half-marathon swim - achieved, quicker than expected. Big Welsh Swim - achieved. A swimming masterclass may have extended my swim career, time will tell. 2022 - Swim Ullswater end to end - managed 6 miles of it. Another team splash across the English Channel. 2021 - Splash my way, in company across the English Channel. Done. Twice. World record achieved. Swim Coniston end to end. Done. 2020 - Recover enough from Long Covid to complete a parkrun. Done. 2019 - score 55% WAVA for 5k. 36.18 Not yet. 2018 goal - walk from Land's End to John O'Groats. helegantlejog was a lovely icon. helegant.wordpress.com Done. 2017 goal - bob, wobble and hobble all on the same day and to get a medal for it. Done. Show More...

First 'measured' outdoor walk, to M's house and back then back from FC cafe to home after parkrun coffee. All with minimal use of crutches. T'was enough.

Various to-ing and fro-ing on crutches at church, hospital and a bit in-between. Stayed within boundaries. Some walking at home without crutches and hopefully more upright.

Weeding and planting - without crutches. More effort than might be imagined and my back said it was difficult, so now having a nice rest.

16 degrees. First time back in cold water, first swim since March etc. Just a short distance to re-acclimatise, but aware of knees when I tried to kick. Cold water felt very good :-).

No crutches - followed by a very painful night. Lot of contract/relax exercises and stretching also contributed to the 'protest.'

16.5 degrees water and hot sunshine made this beautiful. Swam front crawl throughout and felt comfortable. Session fully booked. Knees feeling good today.
