last hard - Tuesday
Eldest retrieved from uni, stayed overnight in the Geoff Boycott room at Headingley with a lovely view of the pitch.
I'll post a picture when I figure out how to do it.
Delightful weather in Leeds so surprised to see rain delays at Yorkshire (Ale's) game as well as my birth county's tie in Leicester.
Rained most of the way home, but Hampshire is swathed in sunshine. Bizarre.
Glad the new job is ok, ollie. Well done on keeping that streak going.
Enjoy your break, LMH. Love Cornwall. Hope the forecast is wrong.
We're off tomorrow for our wedding anniversary. Short molto romantico trip booked with candlelight dinner and the works
Cape Wrath Marathon
last hard today
next rest tomorrow! (but ceilidh first)
And well done Postie on the double (and presumably RFJ!).
And I believe we are on May 20th, not March...although it feels like the latter!
Hope you have a lovely time chicksta.
Drove through torrential rain off and on all the way down but sunny and mild in Cornwall. Had a lovely walk round the coast path and back along footpaths and farm tracks, just a couple of miles but blew the cobwebs away after the long journey. I'm not too sure how my knees are going to cope with the undulations though:-(
Glad it's going ok Ollie - now you need a cunning plan to make sure they realise your potential and you end up where you want to be - and have teh time to train for Robin Hood of course.
Nice running postie.
Hope you enjoyed yours Alehouse - no shortage of hills here but after the walk this afternoon I can tell that the knees are going to say no.
well done Els and OH esp in the weather...
thankfully today has been better than yesterday, which was just a aweful day all round with some work issues (not job endagering but union issues which wree horrible and aggressive verbally and felt like crap and very low - which I will have to seek some assistance next week more for a debreif)
So meet up with Postie, and did the parkrun, which I went at hard as decided not to double up with the 10k but spend time with Mrs RFJ in Oxford for the day.
Take care all
Sorry about the date error Ale but it was very early.
Here we go
Park Run is Park Run although this time I actually knew people. RCJ and Kath of course but also a guest appearance from Gobi and Men. Adding to that one of the Greeks and a gardener from my old delivery, so lots of people to say hello to. Not a particularly great time 21:51 placing me 20th. Gobi won in 18:xxx. Anyway good to rekindle old friendships and only 6 weeks until I get to run there again.
RFJ decided not to do the double for which I understand why.
The 10K had the feel of a village fete and was very relaxed. The start and finish were a bit slippery with mud but otherwise a really enjoyable course with great views of Oxford. The plan was to aim for 45:xx which was on the cards until the 9th K which was up hill on a mud track. The ensuing down hill was equally slippery but I managed to hold off the guy behind me with a dramatic sprint finish. 46:16 on the Garmin though not sure of the official time.
What: a mile done followed by core
Why: feeling slightly delicate this morning after the rum tasting. Was great fun though!
Last hard: getting going this morning
Lyrics: nope
Glad your first afternoon on holiday was good LMH.
Chick enjoy tomorrow. Where are you off to?
Have a great evening all
