magic cheers mate yeah, how are you?
Went out and did a cheeky run today - first one after a minor op a week ago, and my eldest carried on after me and put more than two and a half miles on me.
Absolute legend. Chuffed for him though.
Yeah I'm good, had a good week!
Also managed a cheeky run after having a couple of weeks off after having shin splints, in which I'd had a three week break before that due to surgery I had. It was a very slow 5k but just a bit of a shakedown to make sure my calves and shins don't still hurt!
mate good effort, that's five kilometres more than you've done for the last three weeks so it doesn't matter how long it took. Absolute legend!
Yup, felt happy just doing 5. My last attempt at a run I managed a mere 2k before giving up as my shins were killing. This time they were totally fine, but my quads were aching since my wife has been dragging me to the gym!
Good lad, did the furthest run for a while trying to get back into running after a long break on Saturday morning. 8 miles day after a BBQ on 3hrs sleep is not recommended
Smashing effort. I've never been a running natural, I just do it because it's apparently good for me and cheap as fuck (outside of a decent pair of hooves).
I went and did the Cardiff Bay 5 Mile a few years back, and a pal of mine rolled out of his colleagues place having been out on the piss the previous night, same T-shirt but with shorts on, and just panned in the five miles before going to feel sorry for himself somewhere else. What a machine.
