16th 30 mins stretching cycled 64.30 miles 3hrs 53 mins. I only intended to about 50 miles but thought why not do another 100k ride. At 58 miles riding into a block head wind I was questioning my sanity and the rookie error of not eating anything.

Same as yesterday and another day dry. My left shoulder is definitely a bit twingey - might have to try and think of something else to do, though there's still little prospect of being able to go for walks etc. I'm still reluctant to leave my wife alone for long.

[Fiend]

16 - 25 mins / 1.5 mile brisk kneehab walk, interspersed with some gentle lat pulldowns tearing off conspiracy theory idiocy stickers from lamposts such as "Real Men Don't Wear Masks", well I'm not sure if I know any Real Men but if I did I'm sure they'd just be getting on with their manly lives, doing real manly stuff, and not really caring less that they had to wear a mask for 30 mins doing their weekly manly grocery shopping for bear steaks and engine oil, instead of wasting their time getting their knickers in a twist and posting facetious lies on lampposts. 40+ mins of various IYTs, stretching, foam rolling etc etc 

(Knee deffo tender after overuse at the wall so just a simple pavement walk today, along with some extremely mundane rehab stuff, dear fucking god I'd rather be stuck in a bog on Embsay moor or slithering around in Earth Quarry or anything except more gentle rehab. P.S. Ms Fiend did 1:20 plank off the couch yesterday)

3 hours snowboarding at Chill Factore with the two younger kids. Big smiles all round.

[SA Chris]

15th - shit night sleep, probably post booster. felt like crap all day, actually dozed off during a teams call. Did some hip / glute exercises in front of telly.

16th - climbing session. Felt a bit better, but most of the session was on belay duty. Managed to get a few things done at the end.

also couldn't read a calendar obviously. - 14th and 15th

16th - 5 km local walk with family. Had a kickabout with son in garden, hip flexor now feeling sore again, bugger. Some kettlebell work

[battery]

16, probably the slackest day so far although still done nearly 14000 steps. 30 minutes walk, half of which was carrying a 13kg toddler, the other half was chasing and/or cajoling said toddler.

Struggling a little with very sore quads, one of which I thought I'd done something catastrophic to when I jumped over a stream yesterday. Hoping rest and gentle stretching will help, the finger board awaits me...

Day 17

My wife and I both had a day off so we went on a three hour walk in the sunshine while the kids were at school.
Saw a few hundred redwings.

I've just spotted how insensitive that might seem when posted right after your post Andy P.
Thinking about your situation has reminded me to appreciate days like today.

No, not at all. I'm glad you enjoyed what sounds like a lovely day.

17 - quad is knackered so struggling to do much today. 40ish minute walk

[SA Chris]

17th - poor day. Pissed off with sore hip flexor, avoided usual run. Did a couple of planks, and instead of running probably walked 20 mins and stood in a field taking photos of a castle under a full moon. No time later, packing.

Conceded it's probably "criteria not met" but am applying for credit for previous course work.

Achilles rehab seems to be working. Taking the running steadily with plenty of rest, stretching and Achilles eccentrics between runs. Happy to do a sub-45 min 10k last night without too much effort, furthest I've run since messing up my Achilles last April.

[SA Chris]

Glad you are on the mend Nutty. I though I had flexor injury under control, but seems not. It's plagued me since ultra in October, not sure how I would cope with 9 months.

[Nutty]

Thanks Chris. I have been running regularly but every time I've upped the distance/frequency of my running until now I've aggravated the Achilles. Hope your hip flexor problems clear up quickly.

[SA Chris]

Skiing from Thursday for 6 days, expect painkillers will feature. Get back on rehab when I get back.

[James Malloch]

17. Few longer walks with the dog. 4 hours of rope rug making - they’re a bloody pain! Felt like a lot of mental exercise…
