Similar -- the mild winter has enabled me to cycle right through ( to date -- hope I don't jinx myself and everyone else now ) giving me a great head start on fitness for this years planned adventures and events.0 -

Yep, I do intervals of varying lengths and/or hill reps every week. Biggest issue I've had is that I was getting shin and calf problems everytime I was starting to build my mileage plus I've run 4 marathons in the last 2 years so have concentrated on long stuff rather than speed. Changed shoes about 6 months ago and my injury problems seem to be behind me. Training for another marathon but the mileage and some Speedwork are paying off. Aiming for a HM PB next week now.0 -

As long as the clients pay on time and you don't have to spend unbilled time chasing and as long as the business is small enough that you aren't spending hours of unpaid work on the admin side of things.0 -

I'm able to spend my entire home life in shorts and t shirt as it's warm due to sunlight coming through the rear windows or the natural blonde and little lady have the thermostat walloped right up0 -
Over the years I've had a couple of clients who've defaulted on payments.

Exactly -- been there got the t shirt -- nowadays I feel like I'm getting money for doing what I love doing with none of the admin or headache when people decide your not getting paid.0 -

The woman in front of me going into the station just now who was so engrossed in her phone conversation that she walked to one ticket barrier and put her ticket in the slot for the barrier next to her, nearly walked into the barrier as it obviously didn't open and then stood there bemused trying to work out what had happened.0

But you know running is silly, so I have no sympathy.
Not only silly but bad for you. My knees are now bu66ered through years of running. Cycling has less impact on the joints.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0 -
The other day, walking to work I saw a pigeon getting wired into the diced ham bits of a pizza that someone had evidently barfed the previous night. That made me chuckle. Almost good enough to take a quick photo of, had I not been concerned about looking like a total weirdo to other city centre commuters.0
