Monday 22nd May 2017 - I walk along the avenue

Morning.

Lyrics - I walk along the avenue

I can feel yesterday's hilly walk in my quads but fortunately the knees don't feel too bad. If Mark isn't up soon I will do another little pre breakfast run and then see what the day holds though it isn't quite so bright and enticing at the moment. I think I would have still been in bed myself were it not for someone's yappy dog at 0530hrs, a shame as it usually takes me a while to start sleeping pasth then even when I'm on holiday.

What:                whatever I feel like
Why:                 I'm not doing Yeovil but need to make room for more ice cream
Last hard:         managing the knees here isn't easy
Last rest:          29/4

Yesterday's lyrics - Over The Hills And Far Away - Led Zepplin.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

  • If you're not after a time and just want to push yourself a little and get the miles in postie it sounds ideal.

    Hope you enjoy the loop this evening OH.

    Hilly (for me) four miles enjoyed before breakfast and Mark has decided that he'd like to cycle on the Camel Trail this morning so I shall go and run a few more miles there in anticipation of another ice cream at the end of it:-)
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Or lunch at a celebrity restaurant pub

    Morning!

    Lyrics: yes!

    Who is that bloke on a beach with a flag?! Looks like the Cubans are invading.

    Well done on Canterbury, Wabo! And Spurs yesterday!

    Enjoy tonight, Dustin.

    What: 82 mins, mainly off road. 14.5k. 

    Why: the week's long run is out of the way. First 25 with M72, then along the river on my own. Wind was annoying on the way back as I tired. Started off sunny but now it is cloudy and quite cool. Hope it warms up later.

    Enjoy the Camel Trail, LMH. And the ice cream(s).
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • Rick doesn't really cater for me postie - don't think anyone would be too impressed at me sitting down to lunch in my sweaty running gear anyway whereas sitting on the front with an ice cream is fine - so many flavours, so little time.

    Nice photo OH. I don't know where you get the ideas for your fancy dress.

    Hope the head is better today Wabo.

    A nice 16 miles out and back along the Camel Trail this morning. Lovely bright, warm day without too much wind. Some beautiful views.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Evening
    What: running club
    Why: it's Monday
    Last hard: this may be it after yesterday
    Lyrics: I think so

    Legs are actually feeling very good today but speed may be tricky.  Walked into town and mowed the lawn with no ill effects, let's see what intervals do to them!

    Sounds like you're getting on well LMH.

    Have a great evening all

    Miles makes smiles.

  • emzapemzap ✭✭✭
    So 11 km in total, 3x400 m with 200 recovery, 3x800 with 400 recovery, then 2x200 with 200 recovery. Legs were like jelly at the end, getting home was interesting...
