Morning
Taking the family to Sundown Adventure amusement park today. Should be good.
Then this evening a 5 mile race.
disappointed with: over 29 mins
ok with: 28.43 to 29 mins
pleased with 28.30 to 28.43
very pleased with 28.00 to 28.30
a stewards enquiry if: under 28.00
First post FLM race. 28.43 was last year's result on the same course. Not quite yet over this throat infection so not expecting too much.

Today: Hopefully 40-45 minutes turbo trainer.
Why: Cycle race next week so need to keep spinning.
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Not sure.
Starting to get a bit worried about the cycle race now have read some horror stories from first time racers on another forum. More worried about being left trailing than falling off!
what: it shoud be 8x800 track work but my legs are still tired after the race. Will do something light but have no idea what.
Big Tim, I just read yesterday's posts so I did not know it was your birthday. Happy Birthday!!
6am - 6 Mile Hard tempo run over a nice route next to the Beach. Finished in 47 minutes which isn't too bad.
Lunchtime - Swim for 30 minutes.
5pm - 4 Mile very easy run with a girl from work who wants someone to run with to help her lose weight. She's as slow as a slow thing and despite encouragement I can't get her to push on any faster she isn't even that out of breath so isn't trying hard enough.
Cracking weather up here in Aberdeen.
Get out there and get running.
PPB.
Today: Don't know yet, but I've brought my running stuff to work.
Why: Not sure about time, and not sure how well my slightly sore legs will settle down in the next few hours or what effect yesterday's blood donation will have had.
Last rest: Yesterday.
Last hard day: Monday.
happy BD for yesterday Big Tim
What: Rest
why : Knackered, needed Zimmer frame at club session last night, several muscles in unmentionable places need complete rest. doubt 1 day will be enough to allow an 11 milertomorrow eve :-(

TGLB - take care! No running through crocked knees! Hop off to the H&I forum now (if you're not there already)!

Got to squeeze in 7 or so tomorrow somehow. But how??? :-(
Have fun.
Belated birthday wishes for yesterday BT!
Hope you have a good race BR and the throat is ok!
My head cold and throat seem to have cleared up now, thank goodness.
Having a rest today as yesterday was quite a day. I went for a 10 mile walk across the coastal paths in the morning in beautiful sunshine. Took some lovely pictures of swans and gorse bushes....
In the evening went to running club and boy what a course they had planned! 12 miles across the cliffs of Lulworth, extremely hilly, but with some spectacular views. I wish I had my camera as we were in a cove when the sun was setting and it was fantastic.
Anyhow, today is rest in one sense, but work in another as I've got to write a 2000 word TMA.
Have a lovely day all and enjoy those runs in the sunshine!!
Why: It's on my pre-Hal Higdon schedule (that used up lunchtime yesterday to make up)
Last night's 3 miler went better than expected. I had felt a bit stiff all day, and really lethargic on the way home, but went out anyway. Every time I felt tlike slowing or stopping, there was someone coming the other way (sometimes dog walkers have their uses) so I kept going. By the time I was nearly home, I was feeling pretty strong.
Happy birthday for yesterday Tim!

Last Hard: Yesterday swimming.
Last Rest: Sunday - and a few days before that also.
Last Long: Monday 20 Mile cycle and 25 min run with 2 hour break between.
Dont you just hate those weeks when you only just have time to fit in all the workouts! It's my own fault 'cos I'm going away at the weekend and can't do any training there.
See you on August 3rd!
Keep up the good work.
I needn't have bothered going out running this am as I feel knackered just reading about Speedie's session. Well done, sounds bonkers.
Nessie, know what you mean about trying to look energetic when meeting people!
Martin, best of luck with your cycle race, you sound in very good shape, just make a new notch in your belt to stop those trousers falling down.
Hilly, did you really cover 22 miles yesterday?? Amazing.
What: about 6 miles taking in very steep hill at the back of my house.
Why: still running without a watch/hrm but need to get some hillrunning in before long fell run in 2.5 weeks. Not doing any hard sessions until relay race at the weekend.
My legs finally appear willing to come out to play having been in a bit of a sulk since the flm. Gorgeous run, lots of wildlife, sunshine and generally feeling good. Plus sending visitors on their way after 9 day stay, hurrah! (love them dearly but 9 days is a long time...)
Best of luck MM and anyone else racing today.
I was tempted to run on the treadmill last night as I now have my orthotics - but I've decided to wait until my knee pain clears completely this time.
It certainly looks like a session I might enjoy - in a masochistic sort of way!
Speedie-some session!!
Laura-glad your legs are back to wanting to play!
As for yesterday, yes I covered 22 miles but the 10 in the morning was walking and it was beautiful! Didn't plan on going so far with the club and to tell the truth I think our leader took us just a bit too far. He told us we were going to do about 8k!! A few unhappy runners at the end of last nights run!
Lots of oystercatchers, think I heard my first lapwing of the year as well. Haven't seen the whimbrels or snipes yet but guess they will be on their way from Morocco soon. Beautiful day, with sea mist in the distance, a bright blue fjord, and snow on the mountains. We had our first rain for two weeks last night and suddenly everything has turned green.
Not sure if the run was a good idea health-wise, but enjoyed it all the same!
