Morning!

Lyrics are: Day after day, alone on the hill

What: something short and easy

Why: legs need a recovery day

March: 31 days run, 202k , one parkrun and one race.

Enjoy making a fool of people until noon!

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning.

    Yesterday's lyrics - It's Gonna Better - Genesis.

    Anyone racing this weekend?

    Have you decided about the ultra yet OH?

    What:              nothing
    Why:               rain forecast
    Last hard:       motivating myself to go out for a run
    Last rest:        25/2

    Lyrics - no.


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

    Well done ale :smiley:
    If the 4th and 5th k don't feel though you haven't raced properly ;)

    Hope the rain clears and the knee behaves, LMH. Being on borrowed time can't be easy :(

    Off to the pool soon. I have DOMS from yesterday's gym sesh ...

    My legs feel as if they raced, Chick! The pool will help overcome your gym work!

    No run, LMH?

    Wonder if OL is going to run Manchester tomorrow?

    Afternoon!

    Didn't think you'd have a rest day, LMH!

    What: a gentle 20 minutes.

    Why: hamstrings were protesting

    stretch those hammies gently, ale. Asymmetric stretches are best.

    Managed an hour an in the pool and a 6 mile run on a rather warm afternoon. Spring has sprung. Not complaining B)

    you're definitely training like a triathlete with these double sessions chicksta:-)

    Hope everything loosens off nicely Alehouse.

    Evening all.

    Apologies for yet another pro-longed absence, but still keeping up my streak.
    In the meantime, I now have a job (just call centre work, 9 - 6, 5 days-a-week), still volunteering at the Heart Foundation on weekends, and now have a new bicycle (called Rocky), and have been for a whizz round on the bike.

    I'll be doing Manchester Marathon but not gonna be racing it, will probably aim for 3:30 or thereabouts, then I shall be focusing on P&D for the Autumn.  Good news is my asthma has improved.

    What: 1 mile.
    Why: Streak maintenance.
    Current Streak: Day 470.
    Lyrics: Nope.
    Have a good day. image

    Good to hear from you OL! I expect to be just after Sale town hall and then on Brooklands Road. Give me a shout!

    Well done Fulham, RFJ! And Spurs and Leicester!

    Thought everyone would know these lyrics!

    Ollie, good to hear you have a job, and some sensible desicions being taken

    I know my running has been improving a little, last 4 parkruns, 21:15, 20:58, 20:37, and then today 20:18 and a top 20 at Swindon Parkrun... happy days

    Then moved my Daughter down in Swindon, followed by selling my car, busy old day :-)

    Take care

    Does that mean Miss RFJ has moved near you?

    Hiya
    Well done Ale at LFoTM & today's park runners
    Nice training Chick and good luck Ollie
    what - timekeeping (chief) at young athletes meet (8.30-6.00) then sneaked out for a cheeky 10k
    why - said I would / all I had time for
    last rest - 6/12
    last hard - dragging myself out this evening. It's not as if I have a 16 mile trail race tomorrow. Oh wait....
    lyric- dont think so
