Share a cuppa?

Hi @Shaz51 and @Former-Member, how are you both? I did half an hour of gymnastics workout this afternoon and straight after went for a jog on the way to doing my shopping. I recently reread "The Loneliness of The Long Distance Runner" and realised my experience of running isn't lonely, it's hard work, yes, but I feel free when I'm doing it, and exercise makes me feel strong and powerful at times when people abuse me...and yes it does at times make me feel I've the advantage of them just because I'm physically stronger. On my parallel bars I'm now able to balance with my feet off the ground and hold that position on both bars and on a single bar for several minutes, while engaging my full chest and abdominal muscles... I'm also doing really slow dips, and am increasing my thenics push-ups and forward plank leans. They're actually very hard work because you do them with your hands below your waist on the floor instead of below your shoulders and your toes outstretched instead of curled under your feet.

Hello hello @Abner @Bow @Former-Member @Shaz51 @tonys @mr-robot-75 ,

What are you all up to? Anything planned for tomorrow?

I feel like I haven't had a cuppa with most of you in a LONG time!

Hope you are all okay.

Today, I feel very...bubbly! Don't know why...I just do. So I'll just embrace it while it's there eh?

Love to have a cuppa with you @tyme

Hi

I am sitting with camermile+mint tea..

keen to join @Shaz51 @tyme and all 🙂

Hello @Former-Member

How are you tonightv

@Abner

I also feel stronger / more powerful socially against abuse.. but it's fine a line for me balancing that with stresses involved in exercise also..

I have a workout plan this year.

I am doing mobility on Mondays, strength on Tuesday, Yin on Wednesday, cardio (for the moment interval running on treadmil) on Thursday and sport and walking the rest of the week. I change this to suit weather and my mood.

Hello my fellw-forum friends @Former-Member @Shaz51 !

So good to sit and chat with you. Anything planned for tomorrow?

I must say I love the phots that get posted on this thread. I went and had a Starbucks hot choc after years after seeing the marshmallow topped one. kudos.

@Shaz51

I can't even put into words how I feel.

was feeling a bit alone, and it's vicious cycle. MI is crap. can't wait it till the stigma goes away and society is more conscious and caring about humanity and important things.

You have your forum friends to keep you company @Former-Member

Please take care. I'll check in again tomorrow 🙂
