Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
My lamb casserole is now in the slow cooker.

I’ve tried most of the brands over the years, first pair were “Adidas TXR 10”. The obligatory HiTec Silver Shadow for the budget conscious, Reebok, New Balance, Nike, Brooks, Mizuno, Inov8 etc. I may come across as the Imelda Marcos of running shoes but it’s not uncommon for runners to have lots of shoes 😄
One of the problems is that the shoe companies bring out “ new “ models each year as the “latest and greatest “ technology that you *must* have, and often faff about with the shoe geometry. I used to do the longer stuff in the original Nike Pegasus, after a few years they decided to make it lighter and *faster* by narrowing the last which didn’t suit my broad feet.
Must dash, got to sort out some new gore-tex off road shoes for the coming winter 😉
I may have mentioned this (50 times) but slow cooked lamb casserole is one of my favourite meals

Having worked in Cyprus many times, and loving Cypriot food, Lamb Kleftico was one of my all time favourites.
Now we have a slow cooker, i might dig out a recipe and try making it myself.

If that works for you, brilliant. The financial side doesnt worry me, dealing with finding something to do outside work does (rather sadly). I need external motivation, it doesnt come from within for me, i thrive on a certain amount of pressure, i really do go a bit stir crazy when there's nothing to do.
Yes of course things would evolve at home, things would be found, hobbies etc....but i really really do enjoy what i do at work

I think you've got your answer then
Totally understand how you feel. The guy along the road from me had a heart attack just over a year ago, stents fitted and getting medication sorted out and now feels he is getting depressed with not enough to occupy him so started to look for work again.

There's a storm coming.
Met up with a couple of folks we know from our running days at a recent 70th birthday party. Had a good old natter and catch up. They do a fair bit of walking and told us about their next adventure. In March they will be setting out to walk from Lands End to John O'Groats. They've been planning it for about a year, with quieter tracks and trails being their preference. I think they mentioned 88 days or thereabouts. They've decided against rest days as they reason that they'd only be wandering around wherever they stopped, so will have short walking days of just a few miles. We're meeting up for. meal next month and I'm really looking forward to hearing about their chosen route.
It's something I've thought about doing myself from time to time, it's easy to romanticise such an adventure with fair winds, gently rolling hills and the warmth of the sun. The realities would be more daunting.
