Ha, I had a CT scan 7 weeks ago, I finally find out the results on the 4th. Not sure if that’s an oblique way of telling me that it’s nothing serious. 5 months in and no concrete diagnosis.pistonbroke wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 7:44 am All done in half an hour.

Re: Wildlife
It's a shame that ants aren't that great against slugs because I have two nests of those - one large one under the patio and one under the front path. I suppose it could be one nest with two entrances! I discovered them because they've excavated a load of sand out between the cracks overnight and th...

I've put on 2kg after 3 months of low exercise and summer holidays so probably time to start paying attention again.

The budget is still to be negotiated but it’s probably going to be less than 180 quid. I’ll add it to my list though, thanks

Re: Today's Run
My 4 year old Garmin forerunner 35 has died - the backlight comes on when I press the power button but there's nothing appearing on the screen. It started playing up yesterday with showing partial screens but that went away after a reset but now nothing. Garmin Express can still see it so it's proba...

Re: Today's Run
Ran over the hill to Baggy Point while the rest of the family was getting ready to go out for the day, only just over 5k but the 12% climb in parts were a good workout for a flat lander though I did walk some bits once the heart rate got into the 170s. I still got back before everyone was dressed.

Depends on the Garmin - my edge explore does not have a barometric sensor but the newer version does.

I think I last did 100k in a day in 2005 or 2006 but do fancy doing an audax - just need to find a fairly flat one for my first.

I always assumed that mosque came about for the same sort of reasons that Jerez became known as Sherry - something got mangled in the translation.

There's a joke in there somewhere about the fact that the Americans have already misappropriated our language enough already so we don't really care if they do it again.

Re: Kayak Oar/Long Pole Carrying on a bike
There's a cyclist gardener that I often see doing maintenance on road verges when I'm going for a run around town - he's normally got a rake, broom and strimmer attached to his bike along with panniers with shears and other tools.

Re: Today's Run
I used to get shin splints all the time up until a few years ago. What fixed it for me was just following the bbc c25k podcast pretty religiously for a 9 week program instead of my usual haphazard and intermittent run around like a headless chicken until I get tired. I didn't suffer from them at all...
