Yesterday's lyrics - Sand In My Shoes by Dido.
Nice to see you RHG.
Hope the ride home was ok chicksta.
Enjoy the time off RFJ.
That seems to have come round quickly Alehouse.
No heat to beat here today Poppy - rain forecast all day and a high of 16C
What: more easy miles
Why: ultra fast approaching
Last hard: fitting everything in this week
Last rest: 9/1
Lyrics - can't say I do though will probably kick myself as I like the group.
Morning.
RFJ: Hope you enjoyed seeing whichever group/person it was (yeah, 'fraid I won't be getting the lyrics today
). Enjoy the speedwork later on, and the dentist if possible. 
LMH: When's your ultra? Good luck with the recovery running though, hope the weather perks up.
What: 3 early morning miles.
Why: Beat the heat.
Current Streak: Day 144.
Lyrics: Nope.
Have a good day.
Morning
RFJ - Good luck at the dentist. and I always thought the line was "our one source of energy" I am now enlightened! Glad you enjoyed it, I'm jealous again, after missing Lush reformed at the Roundhouse at the weekend too...
what - clubnight, but will be steady
why - keep on keeping on
last rest - 3weeks+

Sorry about the formatting of the start up this morning, first time I have trierd it from my mobile...
Hillwork (speed) done, 10 x 200m hills (5.25m)
Dentist will not be good, as have a 1 hour appointment to remove the nerves and then prepare for a crown... also expesive
Still steaking Ollie
How far is the Ultra LMH?

Morning
I know the group but can not place the song.
RFJ: Good luck at Dentist I do not envy you at all I am there tomorrow to have a wisdom tooth removed
What: 7 mile walk/5 mile walk later
Why: Inner knee pain which is new to me
Last hard: the above
I went out to run but knee he say no so went straight back out and walked 7 miles average 16.45 pace for a hilly route walking does not affect it!
Miles makes smiles.

Loch Eriboll HM on Monday AH
afternoon all
wp and rfj, hope all goes well with the dentist, just booked me in!!
wp that's some miles to walk!
olliepop hope the early 3 miles were good
lmh echo what others said, when is ultra and how far?
rfj enjoy the speed and the leave!
Hackney half... I did it on Sunday it was sooo hot (hit 27). Anyway the thing about it is it passed all my childhood places and then some, where I lived where I went to school, my chip shop, where my mates lived, pubs I drank in and worked in, you get the picture. At 3 miles I passed a few runners who said, when will this go down it's been up all the way!!! I almost said, if you think this is hilly... I stopped myself. Anyway up till 6 all was ok, though my right foot started giving me problems, stopped stretched it etc. I didn't train for this, life got in the way so the plan was seriously just do it enjoy and try to get to spurs on time!! So on about my 3rd stop to stretch the foot, take off the shoe and investigate, I found nothing so I carried on. Almost instantly I knew it was a blister of some size on the ball of my foot! I could feel it squidging... What to do well nothing but just keep running tbh. I did get a bit slower with each mile! BUT I did finish and kept myself in good condition (and plenty collapsed) 2.26. Not at all upset but it's just a shame my foot got a blister. Think partly heat and friction cause it.
Oh and I got to the game in time which was the reason I just had to keep running!!!
what: bike 20 miler later maybe
why: don't want to run yet, blister drying out but I didn't pop it so bike if it gets drier!
last hard: sunday
last rest: yesterday - saw QOP as well ouch!
have a good day all
Glad you made it to the game Wabo. Hope the blister sorts itself out quickly. I always pop mine.
Sorry o hear about your knee Poppy but that's a lot of walking!
Ollie - back training now (supposedly anyway) having had two weeks recovery post VLM, ultra is in five weeks in Denmark so time for three weeks training and two weeks tapering, just 35 miles.
Not long to wait now then OH! Envious of your good weather (and Ollie running early to beat the heat), it's winter again here, pouring with rain and cold.
After successfully racing in the Adidas Bostons I'm finding my old faithful Kayanos a little heavy but don't want to go as lightweight as the Bostons for high mileage training. Start Fitness currently have 50% off the Asics Gel DS - anyone have any thoughts about whether this would be a good in between shoe?
Well battled in the heat Wabo and getting to the game
I see running is in the press lately, with the TOWIE stars sister being caught cheating at VLM (did the last 20k in 48 mins....) Plus the 48 runners DQ'd at Beverley on Sunday for wearing earphones and also as wabo said there were a few collapses at hackney too.
Dentist went ok and numbness has all left, back in two weeks to get full crown fitted.
Wow, wabo - that was some hardcore race. A friend over on the sub 3:30 thread did it too and ended up jogging as the heat took its toll.
.
Warm and windy here
Got home OK last night but my, the wind was a right old killer. I'm tempted to put a little more weight on my foot now and again as it seems to get very, very stiff from being immobile all the time but I guess it's still too early. It's only been 3 and a bit weeks
Glad the dentist went OK, RFJ.
Hope the knee settles, poppy.
LMH: sorry, can't help with the shoe dilemma but if they're such a bargain it'd be worth a try I reckon.
What: 2 lots of stairs, s&c
Why: xt
Last hard: my bike saddle ...
Last rest: 8/5
Lyrics: I think so
Afternoon, and a very wet one at that, although the morning was largely dry.
Sounds like you enjoyed 'Ackney, Wabo. Not sure that going to Spurs was a good move, though! Hope they win the last game! Still on Cloud Nine, or higher, here!
LMH: Asics Gel DS Trainer would be a good bet as an intermediate shoe, but not the Gel DS Racers, which are similar to the Bostons. Also wasn't sure what you meant by "That seems to have come around quickly, Alehouse"!!
What: half an hour or so later, with a few quicker stretches, or pushing harder on inclines.
Why: Tuesday. Then a few gentle days.
Your operation Alehouse. Thanks for the shoe advice, will go and have a look which are on offer.
chicksta - hope you have some good cycle shorts - makes the world of difference. I'm very wary of changing shoe in case I get injured, it's taken me years to run in anything other than the Kayanos.
Ahh, my op! Yes does seem to suddenly be getting nearer, LMH! Re shoes, once I moved to a lighter model I never really got on with the Kayanos. GT 2000 may be another option, or the Noosa...if you can stand the colours!
Evening!
What: 6k, picking up the pace a little when I felt like it.
Why: my idea of fartlek!
