L10, I have a 10k medal still in an envelope as I haven’t done the race yet either. I have the whole year but I would like to do it soon , mostly to prove I can run at least 6 miles again

I've nearly been gone a few times over the years due to it 😉 .

The real stress is that the doc listened, panicked me, told me not to over do it ~ thus removing one of my pain and mental wellbeing, controls away ~ and then the hospital decided it wasn't that important and investigation could wait. One of the G.P's at the health centre knew what'd happened but didn't pass the info onto my own GP ... who went a bit bat crap crazy that no one read his note as to why he wanted me in the system and under investigation, irrespective of the then approaching pandemic ...

And this year the annual routine checks I have for my pancreas have highlighted that my liver is now getting in on the act of misbehaviour! No wonder 50% of those who have CP cark it in the first 7 years following diagnosis (I'm almost at the 8 year point 😆 )

If I were a race horse I'd be carefully watching for my racing name to be changed to 'Glue Factory' 😆 😉 🤣

*waves* to everybody. :)

Bummer Dec, hope they catch up with you soon.

I was off running most of the winter with a pain in the bum, Dr Google diagnosed it as piriformis syndrome. I had a few sports massages, the first really loosened up the glutes, but I think time played a big part. I've been run/walking for about a month now and just get slower and slower. :) I know the condition is still there a bit so I'll keep on taking it easy and hopefully get a bit more joined-up running soon.

Hi dec, so sorry to hear that I hope they get you looked at soon.

Alpen sounds a bummer hope you’re doing better now and sounds like you are.

I’m off running lots of walking even a mountain or two but not feeling the running love. I’m so looking forwards to the gym opening Monday. It’s been a rough start tithe year with my dad dying but I’m back smiling and my fella is bring awesome.

Hi all. Nutso I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s good to hear you are smiling again.

I’m knackered, we went out for a run this morning aiming for maybe 11 miles and we did 15. 6 weeks to Windermere marathon so there is time for a couple more longer runs before the taper. I’ve always been best at the tapering and carb loading.

Hope everyone is getting outside for a bit of fresh air and avoiding the weird weather - 4 seasons in one day here today!

Did 5 miles yesterday. My longest since injury in Feb so making progress. Ankle is still an issue although it wasn’t the cause of the first injury.

Got my 2nd vaccine yesterday so I’m good to go :-)

Sorry to hear about your Dad Nut. (()) Hope you enjoy the gym, maybe you'll fancy running again soon but walking's very good too. :)

That's great Lem, I think you'll be the most prepared ever for it this year. It sounds like retirement suits you. :)
