The athletics/running thread

[Burnden Paddock]

I decided that it would be a good idea to go for a run this afternoon after a 230 mile drive darn sarf. 6k and one knackered calf later, I realised that it wasn't! Back to the physio!

Fck, you're a delicate lot you "athletes".

Says the man now wearing an orthopedic shoe

to be fair - going to the shops can be quite dangerous!!

Yet .... despite it I'm just bruised. To be fair it's a far cry from driving 230 miles. Now that IS stressful, I'm sure.

Who mentioned anything about it being stressful, or are you just being a prick?

[bobo the clown]

You said that you drove 230 miles and should have known better than then to go on a run.

Apologies for being a prick. Really. I'd hate to make a fool of myself, so I withdraw.

You're a grumpy looking fecker in that pic BP! Those shots just go to prove that some folk really can wear Ron Hills without looking like Max Wall. I'm starting to understand the attraction of it all now.

Why's everyone so feck* tetchy at the moment?

Anyway over the last few days I have:

Run 8.5 miles, swam 2k and circumnavigated Winter Hill via Rivington, Belmont and Horwich.

Just finished a 10mile run in just under 1hr 22mins and am very pleased my knee has not bothered me once.

All I have to do now is the Ironman in July.

Right, you tetchy 4uckers - tomorrow's PR is currently on and it's a 10:00 start. Apparently the track is shitty down the bottom end (as I imagine it will be on the turns at the bottom of Cruella and the one that leads up the back of the 5-a-side pitches). Time to dig the Walsh's out, I guess! Dave Hitchen's asking for hi-viz volunteers, by the way, injured ones!

Tomorrow? Not Saturday then? Bugger

My motto for life, young Genshaw, is - Always as well as, never instead of! If I don't see you on the start line at 10:00 tomorrow then I expect to see you there at 09:00 on Saturday.

^ tomorrow no chance!, Saturday maybe

That's only because nowhere's open for brekkers tomorrow, is it? I've just checked the egg skelter, I've got five which were laid five days ago, and I've got bread, and brown sauce, and tea, and coffee, no fruit juice though.

Hermes. He's back Well in, Chief. I haven't ran in over a week, which I need to address as I'm fully aware that the longer you leave it - the harder it gets. There's no way that I'm going out in this though - I'm playing the Sugar Ray card.

I suggested to him the other day that he could get piggy-backed round the puddles of PR by a strapping man in hi-viz waterproofs. he told me to feck off. Bit rude.

First week back at Cross fit last night. Lunges, skipping, burpees, rowing, cycling and pushing a damn tractor tyre around. Felt every one of my 47 years this morning
