Morning
What;4M plod

Yesterdays lyrics: Starship: 'We built this city.
Todays : Not at moment
Busy day yesterday, so catch up soon.
I knew they were familiar but couldn't place them birkmyre.
So, is it the success you enjoy AF?
Hope you sleep better Pammie.
emzap - well done on winning your squash match.
What: swim am/turbo pm
Why: Thursday
Last hard: 9/4
Last rest: 8/4
Lyrics - no.
Morning all.
@dy painful but thought it would be ok so went to core. It was sore, but not too painful (as obviously core doesn't use my knees much!). Then I cycled to work and wow, it's now very painful. I have elevated it and it's got ice on it (I think my office mates are hoping I go and shower soon!). I'm hoping it stops hurting soon as this will be a big set back if it does swell up.
Hopefully more gardening tonight (assuming knee isn't too painful!).
Hope you sleep better Pammie
Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend?
Have a good one.
Still nothing. Calf still sore but i had this week planned off anyway. Off to see the wizard (tonight) the wonderful wizard of fizz. I'm hoping he can perform another messiah like miracle on me. Soreness is now more of a dull pain and i'm fairly sure that it wont be too serious.
AF - I enjoy the tedium!
Regarding breaks - as i said yesterday i had a seven year one and am running at 46 as good (better) than i ever was (even if Gobi describes me as an "old boy").
First wave of attack on the garden last evening helped by little 4 yr old Paddy - a huge help. Another attack over the next few days.
Talk Later
We know the Lyrics - apt.
my favourite de castella quote was something like "if you feel bad at 10miles you are in trouble, if you feel bad at 20 miles you're normal, and if you don't feel bad at the finish, you're abnormal"
Still plugging away here , 5.5 steady yesterday, today will be 4 easy, as plan a 10-12 miler offroad early tomorow (forgot to eneter maidenhead 10, doh!)
Weekend of cross training ahead: gardening, and redecorating the study, its like a bomb site/dumping ground for assorted cr*p. I suspect the bbq will also get a clean too
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the sunshine!
Morning,
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome Pammie - in the meantime I hope you have a relaxing break.
Ouch Emzap! I was always doing that during my brief experimentation with cycling.
Good luck with the wizard tonight Paddy.
Ace quote, Dustin
What: Nothing
Why: Rest week
Last hard: Finding a comfortable sleeping position that didn't aggravate my mangled toes or chafed body
Last rest: Yesterday
Lyrics: No
After a day of resting, ibuprofen and salt water the inflammation has gone down considerably and there's a lot less pain. Thankfully it's warm enough for flip-flops!
This weekend I'll mainly be chilling out at home doing very little. Work is closed most of next week, so I've booked the 28th as annual leave to give myself right up to the 3rd May off - really looking forward to it, as I haven't had a proper break since Christmas!
Have a good day everyone
morning
Ouch emzap. Hope there's no damage
I'm on leave today as I have my interview. Gulp. Then I work 3 days next week and them am off work until 18th May
I did 20 mins of exercising and about 1 minute on the foam roller. Hopefully I will be able to increase rolling time! I would like to get to the point of being able to do a short run this weekend.
Have a good day.
Good luck in the interview Mava
Hope it all goes well.
Walking around the office is quite painful. Am going to cycle home now, see how it is, then book a doc appointment this afternoon if necessary.
hi all

Pammie, sleep well tonight
MadameO have a lovely long break!

Lyrics: no
I HATE gardening, which is what I spent yesterday doing - fortunately no grass to cut.
Ran 7.2 miles this morning, again without hardware. Had no hip flexor problems, though I suspect they will gradually creep back over the next few days. I think I set of rather too quickly as I was struggling to hold my form together over the last couple of miles. It was a bit odd, as breathing wasn't particulary laboured and legs didn't feel too weary - it just seemed that my legs wouldn't move as fast I wanted them to. Probable cause is knackered glutes as I've been working them pretty hard on the strength conditioning front.
Hello all! Bit of a gardening them going on.... I had planned to do some today but I'm not going to! It's actually raining here which is annoying cause I have two washes hanging out.... I'm leaving them in the hope its just a passing shower.
Pammie - hope you manage to have a restful night - try some Kalms
Mava - have a good interview, hope it goes well - hate them myself!
Today - went out for 0.7 mile warm up then 4 x 0.5 mile with 2 minutes recovery. Half mile times were 3:05, 3:03, 3:08 with a heart rate of 145 during them and then a ridiculous 2:52 with a heart rate of 138 and it felt really easy. Had to think about why I never got going until the last one because the first three felt hellish and all I can think of is that I didnt warm up for long enough and my body wasnt ready for it. Note to self: have long warm ups. Ran about 1.7 miles warm down and then got home and took my new doggie out for a 3.2 mile easy trail run in about 30 mins.
No clue on todays lyrics - but then I never do!!
Hope it goes/went well mava.
Emzap - I'd go straight to A&E if it's hurting enough for you to consider a doctors appointment when you get home.
MadameO - pawpaw cream is fantastic for chafed bits, not sure if yo can get it over here but worth searching for.
Paddy - fingers crossed for a little magic.
Hope you can let the work stresses go whilst you're off Pammie - I'm guessing there's nothing you can do that will make a difference anyway.
I am planning on taking 2 days off next week - making the most of the fact that my boss will be out all week yet saving on my annual leave entitlement.
Pammie: fingers crossed life improves for you.
What: 6 miles and a few strides
Why: easy day
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Sunday
Lyrics: no
Enjoy the Easter break!!
Afternoon all,
Pammie: Hope things turn out OK for you.
LMUH: If it's success I enjoy, no wonder I'm always miserable!
Mava: Knock 'em dead at the interview
emzap: Ouch!
Have a good one!
Afternoon
Cheers all got up at 10 so not quite a good sleep but expected as 6 hours seem to be my quota when working (thugh not while i'm working) A earlier tonight should give me a good sleep. Not thought of Kalms though Night nurse has been suggested as it does knock you out but not sure about that.
emzap - pleased about squash match but not your knee Owwwwwww
Madame O - Enjoy your break
Wabo - hope the fizz can help
Tom - I'm odd i actually like mowing once i get the mower out its just the other jobs weeding and so on i hate
LMUH - True best not worry about things beyond your control not easy though
Mava good luck at the interview
Ended up doing 3.74 miles starting easy getting quicker i blame 4 tracks on my mp3 (yes i sometimes wear one in training) by todays DTT artist last 0.74 @ 9:12 pace not fast but for me on a normal training run
Thanks for the tip LMUH, will take a look. This morning I used a balm I got from the tattooist, and it does seem to be doing the job.
Hope the interview went well today Mava.
Nice 800s Don!
Was very excited to receive RW today as it's a Paula issue. Between that and the Finnish ginger biscuits I got from Lidl, I'm quite content.
The Easter break starts here, yay!!
If you think this is a gripe
Tom - trees are a problem! We have huge trees on our property and it costs an arm and a leg to have anyone come and top them, so they just keep on growing. Always hoping that one doesn't fall onto the house in a big wind!
Madame O - must feel nice to have your marathon ticked nicely and out of the way, it's the sore bits that aren't so nice.
Chickadee - sounds like you are coming back nicely.
DonJshaw - nice 800s!
Mava - hope the interview went well.
Pammie - good luck on the job front.
What: Lawns - no run - decided to get them done and not do them next week.
Going to nephew's 40th tomorrow 3hrs drive away, staying the night there, so have done my 10 mile run this morning with my son-in-law, then it is count down time for my marathon next Saturday.
