The long goodbye....

I missed this and it's probably a good idea. I have previously done a minimum 5k a day for a month. I forgot to stop and I think I got to 144 days before a none running injury stopped me. Just getting back into it and running 3 sometimes 4 times a week but I think every day would be a bit much...

Thank you. Wanders off to check diary.

I know this may be a stupid question. I have looked but I can't see what time and where?

As Indy51 says. May be worth talking to your GP about it. I have had problems with it, I broke my leg quite badly last year and was in a cast for 7 months which certainly made it worse. Physio and the dreaded foam roller sorted it out though.

You can get 10 weeks free gym membership in Calderdale and then reduced price for 16 weeks. Council pool/gym/exercise class for a month is about £22. £22 is a pretty good price to pay if people are going to use it and if it helps people reduce or stay of medication. I have always paid for my...

Hmm, retinopathy test this morning, never a joy but normally the drops have worn off after a few hours. Not this time still look like a stoner.

:( Look after yourself

Eh up, just back on the forums after a break. Noticed you haven't been seem for a while. All well I trust.

We have somewhere to help each other at no cost to ourselves. None of this other stuff is really anything other than a minor irritation at worst. We can use it or not. We can also give people time to make changes. i am sure they have a real world/work outside of here.

2014 I got around the Manchester Marathon slowly after injuring myself in training for and being stupid and not resting. A friend who is a sports therapist un-knotted me enough to get around. Then I did something really stupid and instead of letting my body recover I went and did a speed session...

Excellent result but like you say probably best kept as a treat. You probably enjoy it more that way.
