  • Just back

    30mins Steady and a big hail shower has just come on as I came in.

    Shower, coffee then off to collect younger son from the London coach, as he was down watching Chelsea last night.

    Back later

  • Morning.

    Glad you missed the hail shower birks.

    This week is hospital week for me, there on my account Tuesday and tomorrow and accompanying a friend today so running opportunity will have to be taken when/if I get it. If all else fails I'll probably jump on the treadie for a couple of miles stress relief.

    What:            short, easy run
    Why:             no time for more
    Last hard:     staying positive
    Last rest:      October

    Lyrics - yes.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Gobi: hope the interruption to your day goes well!

    What: will put my kit on shortly, and again this evening. Will be very gentle.
    Why: opportunity knocks.

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Afternoon all

    what: maybe a short outing to lacrosse training
    Why: haven't been for ages due to not wanting to have hard things thrown around my head...will just go for a short while as I don't want to over do it, lose concentration and be hit on the head...also have dreadful back ache today so will see if it eases
    Last hard: seeing how much weight I've put on since my accident image 
    Lyrics: yes

    Must try to stay positive here as well...

    Ale that sounds like a good run
    Birks sunglasses in a snow shower?  
    OH I've heard it's a bit windy up  your way at the moment?
    Good luck with the training interruption Gobi

    You're spending similar time in a hospital to me LMH!



    Dustin: I'm also 5'4.... So average weight at best!



    Good luck Gobi!
  • LOL Rocky

    I've often worn sun glasses in the snow. Have you guys never heard of snow blindness.
    OK, BM, given that snow does not usually come with bright sunlight in Scotland.

    Wind not too bad here just now although nearly all the boats were cancelled in advance as a precaution

  • emzapemzap ✭✭✭
    Dibs so am I and 51 kg is light!
  • I would be seriously worried if my weight was just 51k!
  • emzap - I put on the best part of a stone after my accident if it's any consolation, and am still 3kg heavier than my comfortable winter weight - 5kg heavier than my VLM weight last year. Despite having been back running for over four weeks and clocking up some serious miles it's proving very hard to shift.

    Hope it went well if you want it Gobi.

    I did thanks Wabo, unusual to be running after lunch but mild if windy out. Hope you get company at the club.

    Enjoy the evening out Dustin.

    Unusual birks, maybe he'd started out when the sun was bright? I know I've been thinking of wearing sunnies on some of my morning runs as the low sun is blinding in places and I'm worried about falling over.

    Glad the wind isn't too bad where you are OH, have a good run with JS.

    Hope you've had a good day off Dibs.

    Rocky - I'm increasingly of the opinion that reality sucks.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • emzapemzap ✭✭✭

    Thank LMH, that has helped image

    Didn't make it to lacrosse, my journey home was a bit of a nightmare, was soaked through before I even got the bus (step 1 of the 4 methods of transport).  I think 2 hours of shivering was enough!  Saw thunder, lightning, hail, rain...

     

  • Dry (on top) during 6 mile JS run this evening but one clap/flash. Strong winds didn't really materialise today.
  • Evening!



    What: 4k on the roads



    Why: opportunity knocked

    H

    Wet. Cold. Must be December.

  • You have RW mail, Alehouse.

    Not looking good re Burnage Parkrun and the Mersey path in the near future.
  • Thanks for that, OH. Funnily enough I had planned to run in that direction tomorrow to explore what is going on.

    Not sure where the "H" in my post above came from!
