I only check in here occasionally because its so bloody quiet,
but hello 1MR and Kitty - good to see you both! DV too but
you're one of the constant presences on here already. I do miss
the old MT days.
Sorry to hear of your injury travails. I'm older than any of you
- 58 soon - but still training despite the restrictions that age
brings, because what's the alternative? I just have to accept
that I'll never be able to do what I did ten, twenty, thirty
years ago but am in decent enough shape compared to my old fart
peers.
Best wishes to all of you.

That's where we are now.... no longer the ones that catch
peoples eye any more but like you say, stick us in with a bunch
of fellow old fuddy duddies and we should hopefully still put
the rest to shame LOL
Just had a few days up at the lakes and thankfully that is one
area where I'm bigger than most - apart from calves, they all
have fvcking calves LOL

While I definitely agree being 50+ does suck, I think
it’s also fair to assume our higher than average levels of
activity have probably helped us to dodge the odd bullet without
even realising too, so its probably swings and roundabouts.
Best of luck with the Hip Op Kitty, you’re still young
enough for it to be life changing. My wife has had both knees
done, and her consultant was very clear that once you establish
that a joint replacement will be inevitable, the younger you get
it done the better, and the thing that pissed him off the most
was younger people putting these ops off until they feel they
are old enough. It just makes recovery harder, and total
recovery less likely.

Oh FFS ;D
I was putting my op off thinking the longer I left it the better
it would be LOL!! Even though hubby has retired the company have
kept us on the BUPA so I'm fortunate to pick and choose when to
get it done!
I've finished physio on the knee which is now at least
sustainable enough to help me walk half decent to allow for the
hip replacement.
Yes 1ManRiot still in Chorley, not bumped into Boar but I don't
wander round locally much. We spend weekends in Cumbria and
don't socialise locally in the week. Train at our own garage
gym.
Hey DV if ever you're back in the lakes let me know, I'll
compare my calves with you LOL!!
Change of topic though, I checked in tonight after hubby
watching Raoul Moat......didn't a member or two from MT know the
guy? I'm just getting weird feelings watching it that I can't
recall!!

My son's got himself a girlfriend up there so I dare say I'll be
up there more than I imagined. Already booked a place in
Ambleside with the Mrs for August. I do like it up there.

Kitty - Raoul Moat …I’m sure I remember something like that too.
Was it Osagi?

Quite possibly though I do also remember Osagi being AWOL for
quite a while and possibly before that even happened??

OMG.... your son is now old enough to have a girlfriend? ;D
We are planning to retire to the Lakes. Got an apartment that we
rent out long term tenancy to cover costs. Hubby (now 60)
retired last year but we're not ready yet!!

At least Osagi wasn't Raoul Moat...!!
He's recently turned 17, Kitty.... and as tall as I am now.
I'd love a place up there. Maybe if that Omaze thing get a prize
in that area I'll buy as many tickets as I can. Not sure what
the winters would be like tho.

I so wanted to win the first Lakes house that was up on Omaze.
That one was gorgeous and within walking distance of Bowness.
The second one was ok but too remote for my liking (much as I
like being a recluse at times LOL). You can rent out the first
one now for £12k a week!!!!!

Winters aren't too bad in South Lakes, not much different to
what we get in Lancs, further North is another story. Of course
there are some roads that you would avoid but that can be the
same anywhere.
17...wow!! Has he still got his gorgeous curls? I might spot him
if so when he's around LOL!!
