Good morning folks. A dry start, but a little breezy. Still waiting for an item from Amazon.

Stay safe folks.

Morning all

Nipping into Barnstaple first thing as MrsD wants to get some stuff prior to us going away on Saturday.
Got to be back home by midday as someone is coming to pick up a porch awning that I've just sold on FB.

Good morning fellow retirees,

No rain today🙂 a friend is coming round and we'll be off for a run about 9:30, nothing too ambitious, have to see how the legs feel.
Veg box is due shortly plus a few goodies from SJS cycles 🙂

Mine were dying this morning........was really hard work. It's getting to be a rare occasion these days my legs actually feel like they have much strength in them. Just enjoy it when it happens

Had a bit of a sheety few days with something on my mind, but im starting to feel psychologically a bit better now.

Also sufrered a flare up of vertigo, which may have been triggered by the stress of the former. That has started to ease a bit now, but the tinnitus is turned up to 11 at the moment.

but the tinnitus is turned up to 11 at the moment.

Getting bother with this myself now. I have never listened to loud music or worked in a noisy workplace, so guess it's just an age thing. It's annoying when it's quiet.

I lost some high frequency hearing in my right ear due to being a rifleman in an infantry regiment at a time when the Army thought ear defenders were for weaklings and commies. Its not that bad, but as a result I don't listen to loud music, don't wear headphones, wear ear plugs when playing with the band, etc.

Fortunately ive never suffered and psychological issues with is. Although its bad it usually passes after the BPPV has gone, and hopefully this time will be no different.

My grandson has suffered with it since being, maybe 5 years old**. So his can't be down to age or excess noise.
**MrsD has just told me he was 14. What do I know

Oh, that's so true Mo. I went for a run last week and after a couple of miles I realised that my legs felt ok so I just kept on running and ended up running ten miles. It's a bit "Bitter Sweet" as it's great when it happens, but it makes it a bit more frustrating when the legs won't co-operate.
I don't mind the fatigue when it is "well earned" it's when it's outside my control that I find it frustrating.

On occasion I've been asked for advice about endurance training, and I'd explain that the training starts when your legs get tired, anyone can run when they're feeling good, it's pushing on and running when fatigued that is both mentally and physically tough. Fortunately our bodies are amazingly good at adapting and can cover great distances, it's how fast you cover them that's the challenge
