The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

A walk into Wimborne this morning. I was passed on the way by a group of a dozen cyclists of a certain age. I noticed there was an even split between traditional/ electric bikes.

Talking of pastry 🙂
What I do enjoy is very thin suet pastry over what I call a pie**......put the meat etc in a dish, cover with pastry and shove in the oven. Some peas and chips and jobs a good'n
**others will say its not a pie if its only topped.

Maybe you should stop using a vacumn and go back to a brush and dustpan. It'll be safer.

I do use that but if there is a bit of Ash I tend to use the vacuum. I won't be doing it anymore though. Lesson learned. At least I know the smoke detector works. 😆

Yep…same old most days. Maybe when some decent weather arrives I will find a bit of motivation.

its the mid january energy lull , i get it every year , wait till a sign of spring arrives . I have to force myself out to run a few miles most evenings or do a spin inside on the turbo trainer, some days I do nothing and sleep in front of the box with a poodle on my lap. I am targeting a marathon for end october and am feeling guilty im not doing enough

Gave a quick hoover earlier then did a couple of skip runs. Amazing how it makes you feel better just accomplishing a couple of things instead of sitting on your arse!

Just sat down with a ham sandwich made with tiger bread and a bag of crisps. It’s clouded over now so a bit of on the way.

I do have to admit that I have one of those 😆. But it's in the shed. Mr WD uses it. I was just being lazy.

After the debacle it last week when I was locked out of the nationwide ap, the PIN on my debit card was locked so I had to go all the way to town to change it at the ATM. I now have a headache. My patience level dropped to -100 and my anger ramped up to +1000. I really don't have any patience for s**t like that.

Mr WD was quite happy to go into town of course because that meant he could go to the fish and chip shop.

There was a training plan in one of the running magazines back in the ‘80’s “ 26 weeks to 26 Miles “
It should almost fit in with your schedule. Otherwise just wing it on the day, you’ll be fine 😉

I have only done one full marathon but it was over 20 years ago. The state of my legs now I doubt very much if I could do another. The mind is willing but the body is weak.

I'm the same Mo, I used to have very good mental and physical endurance, and sometimes even now I'm tempted to enter something which is almost certainly a bridge too far.
