The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I’ve stuck BBC3 on for the track cycling. Can’t be bothered with all the other guff that’s usually on on a Saturday evening.

I am watching something about Stonehenge on chanel 5.

Aren’t they the lyrics to “ The Galway Girl “ ?

Which version have you been listening to?

Sharon Shannon doesn't sing anything like you suggest.

Your alliteration brought the song to mind, I'd not heard it in a while and forgotten what a great song it was.

Now try getting the song, and Mo walking, out of your head!!

Wear those masks when you leave your home, people.
It does reduce the risk of you contracting covid.

Morning. Just back a very slow 4 mile jog in the pouring

I'm giving the MAF method a try which means going embarrassingly slowly to keep the heart rate down. Managed ok and never let it get above 122. It will mean walking up hills but can't be helped. I want to give it a good attempt. If it works, the idea is you should notice your pace gradually improving for the same heart rate and build a good endurance base without stressing the body.

Better go and have a nice bath now I think.

Cooooee. Its so dark. We had lots of torrential rain last night but it seems to be calm at the moment.

Stay safe peeps.

Good morning folks.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
It was quite windy last night, it woke me up about 3 am. It's still at the moment.
I fancy beans on toast for breakfast
A nice long dog walk this morning, and this afternoon I have been asked to walk next door's dog as they have to go out. It's quite old and lazy so it won't go far.
Daisy, one of our cats pulled an all nighter and hasn't come back yet. She really is a bit of a feral cat on the quiet.

Just looked out the window and noticed our first snow! Sorry it's so far away but didn't want to zoom in too far with the phone.

Stick with it for a couple of months at least Mo, it’s sure to pay dividends.

I hope so. I think it might let me run more often too without taking much out of myself. It's a bit embarrassing going so slow but from what I've been reading, everyone feels the same.
