Morning
Lyrics: I love you, yes I do
Is it naughty of me to start the thread when I haven't been here much
I totally forgot to post yesterday I literally ran out of day before going to work its been manic everyone going crazy over Black Friday
Anyway did run 2.06 miles non stop not bad for 3 days running
What: Hopefully 3 miles when I wake
Why: Doing what I used to do
Last Hard: a distant memory

Not at all Pammie - it's most welcome.
Morning.
Yesterday's lyrics - Live It Up by Mental As Anything.
Hope there are no repercussions Donaldo.
Nice parkrunning.
Do you still run with Mae NZC?
What: LSR
Why: if you don't push your boundaries how do you know where they are
Last hard: rebuilding
Last rest: October
Lyrics - yes.
What: church then probably run later
Why: it's Sunday
Last hard/rest: life's ability of a roller coaster just now.
Alehouse - yes it is track season - but not doing anything fast at all. Really only concentrating on getting my eyes fixed. Second op on the 9th December, so not a lot of point until next year, once I get going again.
Little Miss Happy - When Mae sees me getting ready to go for a run she sits down and refuses to go. She's worked out who is going for a run and who is going for a walk! When she goes for a walk, it is usually on the bush tracks, so she is allowed off the lead, not so when she runs with me.
Nice racing Gobi and RFJ!
Pammie - saw some awful clips on TV with people going crazy on Black Friday - not nice!
What: No run from me today.
Why: Took 5 year old grand daughter to see a Panto - Cinderalla! It was crazy not really sticking to the old Cinderalla story very much. Lots of noise and interaction with the audience - gdaughter loved it!
morning
decent park running from regulars
NZC - sounds fun, shame my two are a little too old for panto ("oh no they're not"...)
Don - I would have advised rest to others but would probably have run myself
LmH - found head torch but traffic through town a nightmare (even at 6.30) perhaps black Friday related, so having dropped daughter #2 off for swim training 5 mins late settled on 6 miles easy in trail shoes (and head torch) on lanes I don't know.
Yesterday - 10.6 miles on road, nice and easy
Today - 4 hrs to kill as eldest has county hockey trials, no doubt there will be some running.
Why - making miles
last rest - 10 days
last hard - think today will be
lyric - yes!
Another day of nothing.
Didn't get home till gone midnight last night and back into work at 7am this morning so really not in any mood to run tonight. Thats 3 days in a row of nothing unless you count an hour of table tennis in a bar in London last night!!
Morning!
What: 9.6k largely off road. Muddy!
Why: I have a target to try to achieve
End of November stats: 257.78k run, 30 days run. Biggest month for years.
So...need 286.98k in 31 days to achieve the target of 2014 in 2014...which means averaging 9.26 a day, and an even bigger month. Touch and go!
Lyrics: no
And get your kit on Chunky! After work, of course!
A lovely bike ride yesterday. A bit misty murky in places, but not what you'd call fog, just atmospheric. We passed places where you'd really want to stop and take photos:
-Sheep grazing in the dewy grass, mist hanging, but the golden sun doing its best to burn through. The slant angle created long spooky shadows.
-Climbing a bit and seeing the mist hanging over the river area
-Field gates with dew covered spider webs
-A buzzard being mocked by crows
Annoyingly I felt my calf start to tighten up after 50 miles, with 20 left to cover. It's strapped today, so I've blown my run. I'll still go swimming.
Sorry to hear about your calf Blisters. My run this morning sounds very much like your ride, minus the buzzard.
Easy does it Alehouse. Do you have much work on next month?
I completed no rest November with my longest post accident run. The last mile was probably pushing the boundary of sensibleness a little but I think I've got away with. Guess I'll know for sure in the morning.
I think you could probably log that as cross training chunky.
Only 4 days work until January, I think, LMH! Am being very careful running wise and trying to stay within that boundary of sensibleness...so far! Well done with "no rest November"!
Afternoon
What: 10 hilly miles done this morning. Chilly out there
Why: need to start pushing myself post accident and have a 30 km in just over a month
Last hard: I think those hills were,
Last rest: yesterday
Off to play cricket now
Have a good one all.
Great to see stickless, Pammie and NZC back posting.
LMH seems to be making a good recovery. Very encouraging.
Em: hope your witness statement will help to get that reckless driver properly fined. This seems to be a never-ending story.
Great news that Giselle is now home, Wabo
Not so great news from me. I finally had my long overdue appointment at the cardiologist and it turns out that I have a valve that doesn't close properly. This explains all those strange things going on like palpitations, arrhythmia, insomnia and deterioration of running performance. I have to see another specialist in January to see if it can be fixed. Right now I'm on meds and only allowed to exercise very moderately but at least I'm not completely grounded. Doc said light exercise was better than no exercise
Afternoon
Blisters - hope the calf woe is only temporary be careful
Chickadee - i'm sorry hope it can be fixed
emzap good running enjoy the cricket
LMH - take care hope all is ok in the morning
Alehouse Be careful
3.38 miles at 10:47 pace pleased as longest run in a while and 4th day on trot
Off to work later but only for 4 hours
Should help you to chase that target then Alehouse. Did you have any issues with your back post shoulder injury? I'm getting lots of thoracic pain, stiffness and spasms - quite often more painful than my shoulder is now. Physio and smt are both working on it and smt thinks it may be related to the rib fractures as she can feel the two at the back and says they are definitely not as 'springy'.
chickadee - hope there is a quick and easy fix, glad you have the ok to keep doing in the meantime.
Cricket emzap?
It sounds as though it's coming back Pammie - stick with it.
Lyrics, yes indeed!
Easy does it, Don!
Chick: sorry to hear your news, but you seem to be in good hands.
LMH: shoulder etc...after both breaks initially I had no back problems at all...but at some point I developed a neck issue (C5/6). Saw a specialist who, following scans, felt that the first of the breaks had damaged my neck without me realising it. I guess the lesson is that an early scan would have been beneficial!
Keep up the consistency, Pammie: it certainly seems to work for me! All my running is currently relatively gentle whilst I build a base (and chase my target!).
Thanks Alehouse. I think mine is muscular but will mention it to the consultant when I see him next week, just in case. The consistency seems to have been working for me too - it's amazing what you can actually achieve when you try.
LMH: I think the key, besides the consistency, is to be patient with the pace. I think Mr. Hadd and a few others would agree!
Evening all,
been working from home over the weekend, so have been a tad stressed out...
escaped for a 100 minute run earlier and kept it simple, i.e. i didnt look at the Garmin till i finished... ave pavce was a nice 8:25....
Busy week planned ahead
Take care
