I still remember my first permitted exercise. aka my normal morning walk along the coast. It started exactly the same because there aren't often many people about here at 6:45 in the morning, but coming home was weird. Heading for 9:00 and no people, no traffic. Just like a scene from 28 Days later. Apart from the lack of Zombies who were presumably still at home wondering what to do with all their pasta and bog-roll.<br /> <br /> I still love walking, even though it can quite literally be a pain in the backside. But I'm lucky to have a coastal walk plus woodlands that start on the edge of town and extend for miles. the pressure is starting to build all over it at the moment (all inexpensive social-housing you understand - yeah, right) which is worrying. Especially when you see the acres of brownfield and ex-commercial sites just sitting around empty. It's almost as though the developers prefer to build ultra-expensive housing on leafy sites with sea-views for all the cash-rich second-home/landlord/investment buyers we seem to suffer with.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42943.101&return_msg=42943.101" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42943.101"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42943_102"></a><div class="message" id="message_42943_102"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: milko<span class="message_time">13 Feb 13:42</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 13 Feb 13:43"></span></span> <span class="message_count">102 of 139</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.102">42943.102</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.98">42943.98</a></div> <div class="message_body"> My shoulder is no longer as stable as a banana republic/UK government!<br /> <br /> I can't remember where the story would be up to, here.<br /> <br /> > I had a very dislocatable left shoulder for a few years. I did once manage to do it with a sneeze indeed. Keyhole surgery when I was 20 mostly fixed that.<br /> <br /> > I bust my left shoulder's collarbone a couple of times. Once crashing a mountain bike, once getting knocked off a commuter bike by another cyclist being a stupid idiot who doesn't look before emerging across a road from behind a parked lorry and who was fortunate I wasn't a car. No surgery required but it's a little wonky since that second time.<br /> <br /> > Just before my kid was born (so, ulp, just over 10 years ago) I dislocated the right one, crashing a mountain bike. This got progressively worse over time to the point where it was coming out quite often and very inconveniently (well, it never is convenient really but there are worse times like while swimming in deep water etc). It was becoming a barrier to the mountain biking because quite innocent little manouevres would sometimes pop it out and that tends to end the day/weekend prematurely.<br /> <br /> > Keyhole surgery wasn't gonna fix it apparently, too far gone, so I got something called a Latarjet procedure done. This is where they take a bit of bone from the front of the shoulder/chest area and bolt it to the front of the shoulder socket to stop it being able to come out. There's some relocating of how various muscles connect around all of this as well. I think they're still attached to that bit of bone or something like that. Have to say, hats off to the NHS on doing that one and for giving me some nice morphine tablets for the next couple of days.<br /> <br /> > I got some NHS physio to get over it, kinda felt it was a bit insufficient so also did some private on the side. My surgeon got pretty mad when he found out, saying I was going too far too fast. Oh well. I think we were pretty careful but I suppose I'll have to wait and see.<br /> <br /> > Once I was done with physio I started working on extra rehab with a personal trainer to build up strength and hopefully avoid doing it again.<br /> <br /> > I still see the trainer because I found I quite liked having a strong body (I'm not exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger but I have a lot more muscle and definition than ever before), find the added strength useful and the work we do on things like core and mobility mean I don't easily get back trouble etc and so on. My sessions range from traditional squatting heavy weights and so on to things that are pretty much just yoga/pilates really.<br /> <br /> > I just really like mountain biking! Can't really stop until I'm incapable! And now they've invented e-bikes so when I'm not fit enough to pedal I should be able to get one of those.<br /> <br /> <br /> Pedalling through London as lockdown started to ease was pretty fun in a a 28 Days Later style way.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42943.102&return_msg=42943.101" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42943.102"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42943_103"></a><div class="message" id="message_42943_103"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Dave!!<span class="message_time">15 Feb 08:22</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Feb 08:27"></span></span> <span class="message_count">103 of 139</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.103">42943.103</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.101#a42943_101" target="_self">42943.101</a></div> <div class="message_body"> It was indeed a strange time. I was so glad we had our dog because it forced both the wife and I to go out every day for a nice walk. Being otherwise confined to your house, I think it did us a world of good. Of course, being restricted to out local area (5 miles max during 1st lockdown) wasn't great and did make some of the walks a bit more repetitive, but it was interesting exploring some places we hadn't been to before, such as the private top-end of our local golf course.<br /> <br /> We did have the advantage that when the second/third lockdowns happened, the rules up here became "don't go outside of your local authority area". A bit of a shit if you live in Aberdeen City like some of my wife's colleagues, but we're outside that in Aberdeenshire - you can drive almost 100 miles deep into the Cairngorms and still be in Aberdeenshire, so didn't feel restrictive at all to us.<br /> <br /> Of course, saying all that the pandemic isn't an experience I'm eager to repeat again. I was thankful however that I already worked from home prior to lockdown, hence no adjustment was needed from that perspective and I already had a good home office set up - not like some of my colleagues sitting awkwardly at the kitchen table with their laptops!<br /> <br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 15 Feb 08:35 by DAVE!!</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42943.103&return_msg=42943.101" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42943.103"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42943_104"></a><div class="message" id="message_42943_104"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Dave!!<span class="message_time">15 Feb 08:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Gobfounded (YVE) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Feb 11:48"></span></span> <span class="message_count">104 of 139</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.104">42943.104</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42943.91">42943.91</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext"><strong>Quote:</strong> YVE</div> <div class="quote">Hi, Dave!!<br /> <br /> Some aspects of this getting older and supposedly wiser thing are a bit rough, aren't they?
