    well done to you both, its not been the nicest month. Last night went quiet well and i managed 13.3 miles running. Longest run todate and 2:06 so quiet good timing.

    Still have all my weights from when i lived in wales but just dont have the room here for them. Hoping to get 1000m in at the pool tonight if my kness stop aching. Im about a mile outside of Manchester, wish it was dryer here sometimes Snow, rain, hail and sun yesterday

    Tennessee!!! Jeannie, we're practically neighbors! :) Oh I love Tennessee! Me and my guy vacationed there in the mountains during the month of October many years back, before we had kids, and it was sooooo lovely! We had a cozy cabin perched on the side of a mountain... Now we want to bring our boys there. They would really enjoy it. We plan to do so before our oldest graduates, which is only 2 years away. Where does the time go? That age-old question...

    So Gruff, please tell us how you are liking swimming! I still envy you this sport. I hate to hear that your knees are aching... Do you take supplements? Have you looked into taking curcumin? Maybe just read up on the benefits. And I promise I won't harp on this BUT... I'm quietly hoping you give up the smokes. I sat at my grandmother's bedside as she gasped for her last breaths after a lifetime of smoking. I come from a fairly large family and over 20 hearts were broken that night. I was carrying my second son in my womb and I still grieve that he never met her.

    Ok, I have been looking forward to this day ALL week!!! I'm having a deep tissue massage at noon and plan to do almost NOTHING for the rest of the day! You won't see a very big number posted for today, that's for sure. ;)

    But yesterday was a decent day, exercise-wise. I got in quite a bit of walking and completed some cardio on my lunch break. Ugh, cardio... Bleh. lol

    5.5 miles

    107.43 total miles

    The swimming is enjoyable so far, Got a coach with me for 2 sessions next week. Might not be asmuch fun while she whistles and tells me off but will get me swimming more efficent. Just need to work out my breathing instead of trying to suck in mouthfuls of water.

    Taking gulcosimine, condrosin, cod liver oil, iron, omega369 and a multi vit with breakfast daily. Not been to the physio's for a while but use a foam roller after 1hr+ excerise sessions. Love the pain and the feeling after a massage though. The knee ache is expected with running to a new distance and isnt noticeable unless i use stairs.

    Always said if i have a kid on the way or i feel it impacting my exercise id quit but never found a limit or been short of breath (maybe a few climbs) Doesnt help with the industry i work in though.

    Cant wait to get out into the mountains hopefully taking a week off to camp, climb, run and ride in march. Shame its a solo trip this year but oh well.
