Time to start working off all that turkey

Just been reading an article about Andy Murray's problem with his hip, he's only made it to 30 so in some respects I should be grateful that I made it to 52 before my first THR. I've planned so many things this year but it looks like my consultants forecast re my other hip was a bit optimistic, so might not be fit enough to achieve my goals.

 

Aim for the sky Pickles I knacked me back in big time when I was 26 and spent the next 14 years pussyfooting around it. One morning I thought to hell with this and started living again. Backs fine now, shame about the rest

 

Well if you're going out doing stuf

He said extra girth...

 

Actually almost enjoyed running tonight

 

First Krav lesson for me since the start of dec. can’t say I’m looking forward to it. Also I’ve managed to give myself the makings of a black eye today by hitting myself in the face with a large screwdriver whilst trying to rip out a boiler flue. Doh

 

Had a Blair Witch Project bumble around Little Almscliffe forestry last night. Staggered back to car shouting "Wolves did it!" know your League Of Gentlemen. Btw @Flakey the single track have been marked with drawing pin sized reflectors for night riding . They work really well.

 

I’m building strength back in my leg now

Hope to be back out running soon

 

Think the turkey has all gone now , bit of a hilly favourite this morning

 

Enthused by your endeavours I took a run along the front at Scarborough on Saturday. I wanted to see if I’m up to a 10k race along the same route in October. Last time I did this distance was 1985 I think, when I did 48 minutes.

I kept going for a hour running and a bit of walking and did about 7.5 k, so I’m going to have to try harder. For my age category, the last man in 2017 was 1:24, so I reckon I can beat that.

 

Legs definitely getting stronger now and zero groin pain
Happy days at last

 

Up RoundHill above Blubberhouses tonight and barrowed over 20 tons of rubble at work the last couple of days. Got me climbers forearms back. Mrs P force fed me a huge toad in the hole so no gains.

 

A working man needs a good feed

 

I'm quite chuffed as I just did my first 10 km "run". I got a Fitbit and tracked it. What I've been doing wrong up to now is blasting my heart rate up much too high and running out of steam. By doing a steady jog 50 steps and a brisk walk 50 steps, keeping heart rate below 130, that's given me the distance. Never mind the lousy 1:24:32 time. Onwards and upwards.

 

Well done

It’s a common mistake going too fast too soon but you’ve figured it out now

 

Well done

 

National Trust 10k this morning but I’m too tight to pay £7 to park in Lyme Park so an extra 4.8k to the start and back
Trail run, muddy slippery and hilly
