Last hard: the last five months of 2014 weren't easy
Last rest: last year
Lyrics - yes.
Happy new year to you all. I start 2015 off with an early shift at work! Joy
Lyrics-Possibly
What- 1hr steady once I get home from work.
Why-Training plan says to!
Last hard- Xmas day
Last rest- 23rd Dec

Last hard: yesterday's first 2.5 km.

Have a good day.
Morning and Happy New Year to you all. It's the start of a totally 'dry' year for me and my better half. We are raising money for Alder Hey by having no alcohol in 2015. I will post the link to the charity page at some point during the year!!
Will run later - bit of a wet and windy morning here - not tempting running weather at all.
lyrics, yes.
Morning!
Lyrics: no
What: short run this evening
Why: easy day
Last hard: can't remember
Last rest: last year. In fact August 2nd.
Don: good luck with that! Won't be joining me for a pint this year then!
2015: try to get down to about 60k, more core, 2015k, some races including getting the 5k time below 20:50. Above all to enjoy running: the most important reason for running (even on a wet and windy not very tempting morning!)
Happy New Year all!
What: undecided
Why: just
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics: assuming not the carol!
My new year was quiet and sober as on-call but did stay up till midnight to put my Snowdononia entry in!
Impressive resolution Don
Oh are we nailing our targets to the wall in here also? In that case
-95kg
-sub 4.10 marathon
-sub 12 ironman

Don: All the best re dryness.
Hiya,
Don - good luck!
lyric - yes, very appropriate
what - long run. 2 1/2 hours on the lanes and hills, about 18 miles. Bit drizzly but quite mild.
why - ultras don't run themselves
last rest - last year
last hard - today
enjoy the rest of the day
Morning, Happy New Year....
What: MAF test run
Why: Because coach told me to / IM Austria
Last rest: Tuseday
Lyrics: some thing by the Ultravox
Want to be better than I was last year.
Happy New Year all,
Lyrics - YES
Parkrun double for me Basiningstoke done at MP - 21:50, 7:12 pace but course is only 3.04m, then 20:49 at Newbury ave 6:41 pace, course 3.12m. with 4.25 miles of warm ups / cool downs.
So a good start to the day and year so far.
RFJ - that is a good start to the year, well done.
alehouse, it would be a pint of irn bru for me!
Horrid weather today so it was a tough 6 miles but a decent 45 mins time. I feel so bloated and full today and we haven't even had our meal yet!
Happy New Year to everybody!
Donaldo - sounds like a great resolution and a great cause.
Blisters - hope the rollers go OK and don't cause a name change for you!!
LMH - I have confidence issues with the MSc too, as I don't have a degree, so I find the studying mindset difficult. I would love to go on and do a PhD but don't think I would get funding for it.
RFJ - good double parkrunning there! Well done.
Alehouse - you have it nailed...it is all about the enjoyment!
Chunky - Good luck achieving your goals. Hope the IM comes off for you.
Grim weather here too today. Would have been easy to sack off my planned run but the stuff I have planned this year is for a cause greater than my own personal goals (which are an added bonus). So, into the teeth of the gale on an exposed coast road went I. The actual run felt ok, but the weather was atrocious - proper face-stinging rain. I believe they call it character building!
What: 5km
Why: Building the foundations
Last hard: going out today!
Last rest: last year
Goals
Raise money for LATCH - the Welsh Childrens' Cancer Charity by completeing half-IM and Velothon Wales
Lose some weight and get to sub-14st (1st 4lb to go)
Be consistent with my training!
What: 2 plus hours on the MTB in Wales
Why: Celebrating
Last hard: Today
Last rest: 31 st December 2014
Lyrics: No
I did 861 hours of training last year
9907 miles on the bike, expected really and if honest a little less
1775 miles of running, I am a cyclist !!!!!
Onwards to 2015 then
I have goals
You sound upbeat, Gobi! When does work start?!
Shuffle: welcome!
Alex: good start to the new year!
Wabo: enjoy the Spurs' celebrations! Did you go? Only saw the first half hour and missed all the fun!
What: 5.25k easy
Why: interesting discussion tonight...some said enjoyment, others said the health benefits. No-one had race times as a priority, although I guess I would have had that high up on the list a few decades ago.
