Despite working a 12 hour day yesterday managed to get "out" well actually in on my treadmill for 30 minutes. Accelerated up to 7:30 mile pace without any twinges - which was nice.
What: Unsure as another 12 day beckons (full days work followed by train to Munich). May try and squeeze in 30 minutes late this evening.
Why: All I can do under the circumstances.

slippery wet leaves have arrived on our local pavements so downhill last night became a little more exciting. Thinking about x-country this w/e which could be more exciting still, first one since PHF in 197?.
have great fun at your first club night. I can honestly say that joining a club has been the single best thing I've ever done for my training and (much to my wife's delight) I have expanded my circle of friends to include a plethora of like-minded masochists who enjoy nothing more than running their lungs out and then sitting around drinking beer and discussing VO2 max, anaerobic threshold and many other fascinating topics!
Laura L,
thanks for the message about the message! Must admit I've tried avoiding using the URWRCF forums as I already spend waaaay too much time on here, so I don't know the URL/web address, can someone post it for me, THANKS.

Rather, it's that a significant number of their runners (several of whom finished ahead of me on Sunday) train pretty close to where I live, on Tuesday night.
Yes, I am a bit nervous about it!
Also making me nervous is the fact that I've been awaiting a response from Vrap on the subject of echinacea. For some reason I feel like Bob Peck in Jurassic Park..... ;-)

Last rest: yesterday (not by choice)
Realised today why I forked out for gym membership. Still bucketing breezily outside. Managed three miles of intervals on the treadmill (got up to 8mph for two whole minutes, which is a born-again PB, especially as I'd forgotten to drop the gradient from 4% after warming up) and a 1.2km swim. Can't go home and pretend I worked all afternoon, because I met Mr V-rap in the pool where he was trying to swim off the tail end of his cold.
Unusual lack of endorphins, though! I must need an easy week.
What: normally 5-6 mile club run but may end up in the gym
Why: I've got no probs with running in the rain but I've run out of disposable contact lenses and I'm worried about having another close encounter with a lampost.
Last rest day: yesterday (although a 13 hour day at work is hardly a rest!)
Last hard day: sunday
Took 45 minutes though, i blame the hills and the wind
RR, I run with steamed up glasses
I didnt know you were one of those scary people!
Turned up at the appointed hour and place - and no one else did. Maybe they'd called it off but didn't have my number. Waited 30 mins in the twilight.
Subsequently did 9.3K - alone - in 38:26. Felt p*ssed off, had to come back into a gale, HR played up as well - think it's on its last legs. Not a great evening.
Why: still can't think of a good answer to this one
Last hard run: y/day
Next rest day: tomorrow, unless I awake filled with energy!
