You can't beat the female vets
Glad you enjoyed your parkrun! Good for the soul!!
Your sauna buddy sounds nice .... good motivation to use the sauna
That swim is in June. Doesn't give you long to prepare and you'd need a wetsuit. I don't know how confident a swimmer you are or how much experience you have but it would be a good event to start off in if you thought you could do it 0 -

I have a wet-suit but its for snorkeling so its a full suit - do you mean the little short one's the tri folk use? I'd be appallingly slow but that wouldn't bother me. What should I be doing 100m in the pool in if I wanted to try something like this?0 -

A full suit is what you want. The water will still be freezing!!! I wouldn't worry about being slow as long as you were confident in open water. I wouldn't worry about what time you were doing the 100 in. Try doing 10 x 100 in one session then 5 x 200, 3 x 400, 2 x 500 to build up endurance

you're far more qualified than I!! on the female vet thing - the guy last year was insisting he'd rather calm woody down than muzzle him, Its much better for him he says - I told him, firstly he doesn't like men (except FBOT for some strange reason....) and secondly it'll take you months before he trusts you, we'll be here all day!! 40 mins later we had to muzzle him and he's now in full blown distress. The woman on Thursday listened when I explained, came out with a perfect size muzzle, let me keep woody on the ground to lesson his distress & job done 0 -

Can't believe I am encouraging this dark side talk
I can't believe you want me to to Cavan 0 -

Don't see any of ye ladies advising FD not to be having encounters with the Saucey Sauna man which clearly forces her heart rate sky high, what's that about.........
It was a perfectly innocent conversation no heart rate increases involved
as I told you yesterday I left fairly quickly when he asked me where I lived 0 -

Monday 16th May
Lunch walk 3.1 miles - looked beautiful from the office window but chilly in just a t-shirt & ¾’s thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.
PM: 3.3 miles local loop with woody
PM: yoga strengthening 30 mins + functional movement workout, actually enjoyed this, must consider doing a 15 yoga section before each of the FM workouts…
Tuesday 17th May
Lunch walk 3.1 miles - looked warm and sunny, a bit chilly though!!

Wednesday 18th May
Lunch walk 3.1 miles - overdressed in rain coat but rain stayed away

Thursday 19th May
Specialist visit: warning, this post contains GOOD NEWS!!! And of course I’ll be my usual brief self…
So: She’s confident its Graves disease which is an autoimmune disease, 40% of people go into full remission after 18 months. That’s actually not what I wanted to hear but in fact she explained it’s the better of the 3 alternatives so I obviously hadn’t researched enough! She is very happy that the bloods are improving with each test (I have 3 to date), the only level that’s not back to normal now is my TSH (which shuts down almost completely for overactive thyroid) I choose her because she’s a runner - god bless google! So when we talked about that she said that’s fine, you can run 5K at a time and at moderate pace (note moderate, not easy). I can look at going back training properly when my TSH level is back to normal which we’d hope will be by the next bloods in June. The crucial thing is that running won’t impact the medication or my recovery, the only thing it will affect is my HR and she is very happy that I am more than capable of monitoring that myself. She was impressed that i take my RHR every day and knew what it was pre Thyroid, during and now. This mornings RHR was 53 and when I told her that she was like ‘oh sure that’s perfect’ you can definitely run (obviously she checked it too!) And yes, yes I did jog back to the office with a massive smile on my face, in my work clothes (and shoes!!).
There will be no lunchtime walk today, I’m off shopping 0 -
