@Bones Very similar this way. Difference being that when you were cracking 92, I was cracking 87 ...

Bones

@MajorRage yeah, well, it'll be a miracle if I ever crack 10km again....that's a short stroll to you right?

MajorPom

@Bones No longer I'm afraid ... calf strain, glute strain has destroyed me, If London marathon goes ahead on October 4th ... I'm royally fucked.

Bones

@MajorRage glute strain! Jesus! I don't think I could even imagine the effort required to produce an injury like that anymore. Sucks bro, sorry to hear.

Ahh well when you get better you can grab your boots and come join me in the FR down at 'nam.

MajorPom

@Bones you can do it too in 5 easy steps:

Be older than 40
Be overweight
Run 1500k in 9 months culminating in a marathon
Go mountain biking with your kids every second day for 4 months
Ignore every warning sign that you are close to an injury

Bones

@MajorRage sweet, I'm on it! 1, 2 and 5 I've smashed out the park. The others...give me 9 months..

Bones

92.9 today. Male fitness is such a toxic environment.

From a feminist perspective your toxic quest for physical achievement disgusts me

Bones

Well fuck you, high hamstring.

@Bones doh! Strain or worse?

Bones

@taniwharugby nah just a light strain I think. Was feeling a bit tight and niggly at training and went to step to the outside and got the "ping".

Went to test this morning with a light jog before a 5km run and probably could have done it, but would have just made it worse. No restriction on walking or anything, so hopefully some drugs, deep heat and a bit of rest/walking might have it right for a Sunday run.

@Bones props don't step anywhere, let alone to the outside.

It's showing in your mood.

voodoo

@Bones Shit, wait till I'm into my own exercise and booze-free hotel q in a couple of weeks, then you'll see some damn mood!

(I'd insert a cool gif here if I knew how )

Bones

@voodoo I dunno, your mood might change. Hotel security might be pretty friendly.
