Monday 20th March 2017 - Heaven is closer now today
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Heaven is closer now today
Wet and breezy here today and it's not forecast to clear. Gotta love training for a spring marathon.
What: easy miles
Why: don't think I could do anything else
Last hard: I worked the second lap yesterday
Last rest: 25/2

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

what - 4-5 easy
why - recovery
last rest - 6/12
last hard - the weekend
Legs not too sore this morning but very slow and easy today to aid recovery.
Have just messaged my M71 friend to say that I won't be running until this afternoon. Torrential rain has stopped play for now!
Lyrics: no
Lyrics: Nope
What Forest half in slow time
Why: Episodes at parkrun yesterday so it was that or pull out
Last hard: Settling HR to finish parkrun.
Last Rest: Friday
Base miles all there and no reason for spike. Staing positive, Berlin in a couple of weeks will probably benefit from today's LSR
Today: Lyrics: Yes
What: Something slow
Why: Recovery run/bit jaded from Saturday
Last Hard: Getting out of bed today
Last Rest: Friday
Weather gruesome and less than inspiring but....
No wonder the legs are sore Dustin
That made my day 
Top performance in nasty conditions yesterday.
Can't believe you 'forgot' about Silverstone, LMH
Interesting survey in the Telegraph. Hamburg ain't a bad place but it's suffered from general neglect I find.
What: 9 miles in torrential rain
Why: it won't stop and I wanted to get something longish in
Last hard: today wasn't easy
Last rest: 17/2
Lyrics: no
LMH awesome and you forgot you did silverstone!!
dustin, amazing well done
well done chick, tough run I bet!
SC you've been busy, hope all is ok!!
alehouse morning, and in answer of course wabo did her half! I was in pain still on Saturday and again today but painkillers kept it at bay so I was so happy to run yesterday 13.4 on the garmin, chip time 2.08.23, 6 in my age out of 33. I know I can do better but I wasn't sure I would even manage this one so that's fine
What: 1 mile this morning on very heavy legs
why: sunday - that was a long for me!!
last hard: sunday really this morning didnt feel easy though
last rest: 31/12/
have a great day all, off to QoP later she will have fun....
Off out in a mo for a slow one...no one to run with but nowhere to hide.
Well done LMH on race yesterday and todays run:-)
What: 7 mile treadmill run
Why: weather
Last hard: this morning
Lyrics: Nope
Last rest:18/03
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Nice one Wabo! It was never in doubt! Hope it took the pain away too!
What: 95 minutes, mainly on firm surfaces but largely off the roads.
Why: had to pick up my train tickets for LFoM, so what better way than to run to Stockport station via the firmer parts of the river bank, plus more. 16.3k run, so more than 10 miles. That is the furthest single run for a long time. That will be that last run of any length before 31st. Didn't set off until just before noon as it had stopped raining; 20 minutes in and I was soaked. Sun now breaking through.
Is it feeling any better Wabo? I would expect the antibiotics to have been working by now if it was an infection causing the pain.
Well done for sticking it out on the treadie Poppy.
Nice longer run Alehouse.
My memory is awful chicksta - and gets worse when my B12 jab is due! I'm never sure how I manage work or life really.
My forgetfulness worked well for me today - seems my legs have forgotten that Ashby was yesterday as I was able to enjoy a LSR in the wind and rain - which was biblical at times not to mention painful.
Sedentary is the way to go, SC, when not in company! Take care!
Why: frustrated by man and elements
Hail. Derwent Water about 2 feet higher than usual meaning much of path impassable flooded. Lodore Falls Hotel having major building work done with removal of footbridge necessitating retracing steps. Hadn't intended going to Grange but board way over marshlands at head of Derwent water under about 18" of water. Rest of path in poor state of repair. Cold wet and unable to get sustained effort to get warm.
Cup of tea at Grange cafe before bus back
Last hard: that was
Last rest: yesterday
lyrics: no
If I was unfit for a marathon yesterday, can I be fit for an Ultra in 3 weeks time?
Good solid 6.4m at club tonight, now have new club vest and Mrs RFJ has a new club T shirt
Take care
