The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Mornin' all. Absolutely bucketing down here atm, which rules out biking to the physio.'s. If she can sort out my hamstrings and get me back running, it might be worth parting with some hard-earned. 🤞

Good luck. Seriously thinking about visiting one too. Between lumbar disc herniations/sciatica and now what after some research, I think is high hamstring tendinopathy, I haven't run for a month now either. Not sure if I'll get back to it or not. Actually enjoy it slightly more than cycling, especially at this time of year but not when I am struggling to run with legs that feel like they don't want to co-operate.

Good morning. Another damp one I fear.

Yep, running at this time of year my preferred form of exercise too (usually!).
Having been plagued by calf injuries for the last two years, and now the hamstring, I clearly need some help if things are to be resolved.

Good morning - The weather is OK so a trip to the allotment soon. A mop chop (haircut) later. A trip to pick up the prescriptions at some time too.

Have a good day.

I'm feeling somewhat better now, perhaps 70% there. Stomach now rather more settled, just a bit weak and jaded from having not kept any food down for a spell. A good day or two feeding myself up and resting and I'll be fine.

Good day girls and boys. It's very wet and windy. I slept until 7.50 😲

Shortly I shall make porridge and then do the ironing. Dentist and optician this afternoon. What an exciting day!

 

[PaulSB]

Oh and I have a tube to replace. There now didn't the day get a whole lot more exciting!!!!

Morning all.
It is 5 years ago today that I retired.
Weather looks half decent today, so we're off into the depths of Dartmoor again to look at some more tors and stone circles.
We might even stumble across nice pub at lunchtime.....

I am up and venturing out, it looks horrible wet and windy outside, yuk! I hate this weather and would love to winter somewhere warmer.

Sounding like the wallet will be taking a hit?

I used to get a real buzz from running. 8 miles was my prefered/most enjoyable distance.
Nowadays as I cycle past runners my thoughts are......"you will be sorry, one day you will be sorry"

You been at the "Dr Google" again.

Nearly got out but decided on another coffee instead, I will try again shortly.

On another thought, I wonder if we can call a day like it is here, wet and windy a Dragoish day.
