Did my first (proper) fell run today. 6 month training building unto this and my calf tightens so I'm limping on Friday! Doh.
Had an easy run with Yaz on Saturday and the calf wasn't as painful.
Decided to ignore Yaz saying leave it another week and just took it steady. 10.5 miles, 2,050 feet of climbs and a couple of hours out. Loved it! No issues with the distance - my "engine" was fine so I'll do a few more runs to build up to a half marathon fell run with a fair bit more climbing in a few weeks. Very pleased with myself.
Work going really well. The chap who was moved 'sideways and a little bit down' to accommodate me running the recycling business is now furloughed which is good as he is a right Victor Meldrew. We are incredibly busy and have a nice little team working bloody hard.
Family all good but Yaz very worried by the BA developments. It will all break in the next few days, but BA really are using the virus to sit pretty on their 3.5 billion cash reserve (and their parent company IAGs 8.5 billion) whilst they use the virus as an excuse to block airline bailouts (to remove competition) and get contracts written off to get shut of staff and cut costs. They have threatened to make all staff redundant from 15th June if they do not agree to new contracts which would be unworkable for 80% of Heathrow crew ... so they would have to leave anyway. So much for furloughing 30k staff to save their jobs ...
