Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I'm here Floydy, trouble is I can't concentrate very well if there is someone else in the house interrupting me and my blogs don't 'flow'....Not that anyone notices.....
I've just been over on the 'Jesus' thread and was bursting with things to say, but I thought I'd better show my face in here first.....
Surfermom! how long have you known me?....Leather Pants?....Do you think I'm an Alice Cooper impersonator?....
...I only wear trousers (pants) unless it's extremely cold, and never for running in...
...
Anyway, that aside, how did you get on with your new running shoes?
I hate having to change the model and manufacturer of my running shoes because they are no longer available. And to all the non-runners out there, you can run in shorts with your bum hanging out or vests and tee shirts that were intended for someone with Floydy's build, but shoes are the most important part of any respectable runners attire...Run naked if you must (just support the dangly bits) but make sure that your shoes are in good nick and fit correctly....
Oh, and another thing.....Age is bugger all.....It's all in the mind, go out there and give it the best you can, nobody said it was going to be easy.....
Why is it though, that when an injury occurs you always fear the worst. I had an abysmal run on Tuesday and the little bloke on my shoulder was saying "Is this it? Perhaps your heart has had enough? Keep this up and another Heart Attack will surely follow" Even the little twinge in my chest all added to the drama....
Probably was indigestion, because Thursday's run was awesome! Good conditions, decent weather and the best time of the year over the six mile course! Mind you, I have only run it half a dozen times this year.....
So on to this morning....A fast three miles in nine point something, damn good for me....
....Heart Attack.....Baaaaa...
Something interesting happened earlier on in the week though.....
I needed some travel insurance for our forthcoming cruise to the Caribbean.
For the last few years I've been with 'Staysure' and taken out annual insurance for around three hundred quid. Well I cancelled it last year because we didn't travel out of the country. So I give them a ring, and they refused me annual insurance quoting me and Mrs Fox just single trip insurance.......EIGHT HUNDRED QUID.....WHAT....
Anyway I ring up another company and he was asking me questions about my medical history. After a while talking to him on the phone:- Yer, two Heart Attacks, two lots of Heart surgery....I flatly refuse to take any medication (Statins) and my last Heart Attack was just four years ago in 2014......I realised that I wouldn't give me any insurance either......
