Morning.

Lyrics - A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace

Hope you've had a safe journey OH.

I may be joining you at Robin Hood Ollie - assuming the old body holds up this year.

Wind picked up here yesterday afternoon too Alehouse and it's set to be a bit breezy for the next few days - where's summer?

What:            short and easy
Why:              being cautious
Last hard:      not just pushing on
Last rest:       29/4

Yesterday's lyrics - London by Pet Shop Boys.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning!

    Sounds a sensible plan, Postie.

    Lyrics: no

    What: something with OH, hopefully.

    Why: he's around!

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

    What: TBC as others still broken and I may need a rest for the weekend
    Why: Their injuries/my mindset
    Last Hard: Todays 200 deep squats
    Last Rests; To be remembered :-)
    LMH enjoy short and easy, Ale/OH have fun, Chicksta: Ouch.

    Well I guess I got my just rewards for not wanting to run coz now I am physically not able to run. Left adductor is completely crocked. Luckily I had a physio appointment yesterday anyway so I'm now all taped up and was told to rest completely until the next appointment on May 9. Hopefully we can then start with scar tissue prevention and mobility exercises. It may take a while for me to run again :-1:

    Anyway, as long as I am OK to hike by the end of May I won't complain. We have 2 weeks in the Bavarian Alps and it would be a nightmare if I was still grounded then.

    Good job on signing up for Bracknell, SC.

    OH: Excellent train sprinting skills :D

    LMH: Hope the recovery is still going well.

    No to lyrics.

    Afternoon!

    Sorry to hear your news, Chick! Heal well and quickly!

    What: 75 minutes or so, largely off road. Surfaces are very dry though so in terms of impact it may almost be road. Pleasant company: thanks OH!

    Why: OH visiting the area. Always good to have company on a longer run.

    Chester is another Autumn marathon that I hear good reports about. 8th October this year, and one advantage for many is that it is the national masters championships. Literatin from the Overdone it thread was first lady last year, and Dr. Dan from Middle Ground also recommends it: he is doing it again this year.
