Wednesday 1st March 2017 But February made me shiver
Morning!
Lyrics: But February made me shiver
Glad it is March! February was not the greatest of months running-wise. Due to illness lurking I couldn't take one more step.
What: will warm up and see
Why: supposed to be a quicker day
Happy St. David's Day!

Yesterday's lyrics - Taking It All Too Hard by Genesis.
Happy St David's Day.
It's cold here this morning Alehouse, distinctly February weather still and wet and windy forecast for tomorrow:-( Are you feeling fully recovered now?
What: Hoping for a longer run but will see how leg feels
Why: The clock's ticking
Last hard: Car and road two weeks ago
Last rest: 25/2
Lyrics - yes.
why: on-call, VC job interview, still recovering
last hard: any running
last "rest": 23 Feb
lyrics: no
I hear Manchester airport has problems due to snow. We have a light covering of frost.
What: 5 km later
Why: to test out calf
Last hard: physio's thumbs...
Lyrics: yes
Going to do a 30 day core challenge too starting today, let's see how has I can get...
Ale I mailed you
Have a great day all
No sign of snow here, OH!
Wabo - ouch, sounds painful
LmH - hope you get at least a few miles done!
snow? still a bit fresh but I think we've seen the last of hours down here.
what - easy lunchtime, village club meeting tonight
why - mangled / last one before I sign off
7m tempo last night after an easy 3m warm up. Averaged around 6:55s so not too far off after racing Saturday and long running Sunday. Clung to the coat tails of a 3:05 V50 and a 3h V40 (actually passed him at the end but he had done 8 easy at lunchtime too).
hated every second, loved every second afterwards.
last rest - 6/12
last hard - erm, yesterday?
lyric - nope
Morning
LMH: Enjoy your run today
What 6.5 miles/4 miles later
Why: Summer is coming
Last hard: Getting out of bed
Lyrics; yes
Last rest 17th of last month:-)
mileage for February was 161 miles, 6 rest days but 5 were when i was ill or travelling.
Miles makes smiles.

Dustin: lol - hating every second of it, loving every second afterwards. Typical speed session
em: Good luck with the core challenge. Reminds me to do the good old Core-H routine again.
LMH: hope the legs are behaving
Rubbish February for me too due to Florida travel and lurgy. Bring on March and the longer days. It was so lovely to run in daylight at 6:30am today.
What: 6 miles
Why: back in the swing
Last hard: can't remember
Last rest: 17/2
Lyrics: yes
LMH: Good luck on the run
Emzap: I feel your pain
Lyrics: Yep
What: Something easy
Why: No one to run with (Again) and tapering, allegedly, for the weekend
Last hard: day 30 on the plank challenge yesterday (5 mins)
Last rest: Last Friday
Good running all, back later after run, tea and Welshcakes :-)
No bad news here, SC! Well I hope not! And I think everyone does know the lyrics really: chose the first line of the second verse as they were so easy, and hopefully appropriate!
What: 3k warm up, 3 x 3 minutes with 90 second interval, a couple of k warm down.
Why: need for speed. Tough going, but ran further than last time I did this session, mid-Jan. Would have struggled to do a 4th.
Was lucky with the weather. Raining now!
Take it easy Alehouse - better to be well on the start line than still ill because you felt the need for speed. Beautiful day here and rain not forecast until this evening.
More daylight and warmer weather would be lovely chicksta - especially the latter.
You need more running buddies SC!
Is it the after effects of the operation making running difficult OH?
You sound as though you're enjoying the doubles Poppy.
As I said, lovely day here, a bit chilly but dry, bright and still. All that was going through my head as I got ready for my run was 'two weeks ago today I didn't have any work either and went out and ran and was knocked over' - I need to get a grip on this. Wasn't sure what to do. I really feel that I need to be back to long runs at the weekend or accept that London is just going to be a day out and to be honest at the moment I've lost the love a little and if it wasn't London and I wasn't fundraising I'd be tempted to DNS. But it is and I am so that's not really an option. I managed ten miles in the end though I was slowing in the last two as the leg tired. No seizing up walking home which was good and as a bit of compensation for not making a MLR (which I would have liked really) I have walked five miles since and if anything legs feel better than they did (right hamstring started grumbling yesterday). If the weather forecast is correct tomorrow may well be a shorter day.
Ale: agree with LMH...stay well.
Yes I am really enjoying the doubles
Miles makes smiles.

4.25m yesterday in York, 5k loop this morning
Flying to Pafos in the morning with Mrs RFJ, cant wait, need the break and looking forwards to some sun and 20-22 degrees :-)
Take care all
