Lip Gloss May 2019 10:50pm, 23 May 2019 34,128 posts	0 Lip Gloss I have no upper body strength. I feel my knees tonight, first time I have need my volterol gel for a long time.
PaulaMc May 2019 10:59pm, 23 May 2019 8,189 posts	0 PaulaMc I have no upper body strength either. And apparently I’m as stiff as a board from the waist down and it’s a wonder I can move at all.
Markymarkmark May 2019 11:21pm, 23 May 2019 8,988 posts	0 Markymarkmark After 2 days rebuilding a garden deck (inc. removing a tree!), and it's not finished yet, I'm currently soaking in a hot bath to try to ease the aches in my back and shoulders. And trying not to drop my tablet! Upper body strength is for lumberjacks and brickies, not runners!
Stilldreaming May 2019 9:02am, 25 May 2019 242 posts	0 Stilldreaming On our Club run on Thursday, I warned the other runners to look out for the uneven path (as it's a route I regularly run). Yup, you've got it ... I was the one who went over on their ankle and now has a very painful and swollen foot! (Didn't stop me running the 5 miles home without pain though ... what's that all about?)
WtnMel May 2019 11:10am, 25 May 2019 1,263 posts	0 WtnMel [McG - on a forum in 'another place' we had a runner called herself 'Twiglet Legs'] We moved my Mum into her new sheltered housing flat the week before last. I discovered then how lacking my upper body strength was. After a day of shifting boxes etc. I was knackered and needed a soak in the bath like Markymarkmark.
Velociraptor May 2019 11:11am, 25 May 2019 41,720 posts	0 Velociraptor Aching after managing to do unaccustomed physical work is very different from having no upper body strength Stilldreaming, I hope you heal quickly.
Derby Tup May 2019 11:14am, 25 May 2019 31,532 posts	0 Derby Tup We had some trees chopped down a year ago and the resulting wood needs moving at some point. The green gym beckons 🌳
hillstrider May 2019 5:18pm, 25 May 2019 5,418 posts	0 hillstrider Going back a few pages, I remember the Billy Cotton Band Show, with the "lovely Cathy Kay." Wakey Wakey! Z Cars was another, and of course Dixon of Green "evening all." Apologies if any one else has mentioned these. I also used to watch the wrestling on Saturday afternoons with the likes of Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Jacky Pallow, Mick McManus, the hooded Kimo Nagassassi, and tag team Judo al Hayes and Rebel Ray Hunter.
Diogenes May 2019 7:46pm, 25 May 2019 36,906 posts	0 Diogenes I was trying to chop a branch with my long handled loppers earlier and found that the branch was stronger than my shoulder. Ouch!
