Yesterday's lyrics - Keep On Moving by UB40.
Hope you managed to get some sleep Alehouse.
Maybe your strength lies with the shorter stuff emzap?
What: hopefully a LSR
Why: miles whilst the sun shines (or at least whilst it isn't raining)
Last hard: getting up this morning
Last rest: 15/7
Lyrics - no.
Ale: I hope you got back to sleep?
LMH: I hope the sun is shining for your LSR
What: walking and exercise bike
Why: Benched
Last hard: watching the fitness slip away
Lyrics: Yes
Miles makes smiles.

Bala yesterday so not a lot happening. Trying to stay patient and still hoping to hobble round Dublin mid-August. Resigned to not doing Westonbirt 10k next Friday 4th Aug. Will definitely lose some races in Sep as op scheduled now for late August
What: Planks/press ups/squats
Why: Fitness/displacement actvity
Lyrics: Can't place
LmH - are you suggesting I eat the occasional doughnut/cake...(oh , if only it was occasional...)
what - club night - 5x1k
why - speedwork
last rest - 04/07
last hard - Sunday
Ended up doing 3x(5x200)s yesterday. Low turnout for village speed group, so led round the better 5k improvers , 200s in ~45 (6m/m)
After Saturday, it felt ridiculously easy.
What op are you having?
I am just hoping to make Lake V and the Swansea 10k 2 weeks later as these are my last races this year so will mean 4 races this year which is poor but never mind maybe next year will be better year for us all :-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: a mile
Why: a mile a day
Last hard: definitely yesterday
Lyrics: nope, but just you tubed it and it made me laugh!
SC
Dustin occasional doughnut
WP I am really keeping my fingers crossed for you.
LMH I think I'm very firmly in the jack of all master of none category...
Ale how many sheep did you count?
My arms ache from yesterday, typing today is hard!
Have a great day all.
I just made some Rock cakes for the benchies and all the fit runners help yourself:-)
Miles makes smiles.

Managed another hour's sleep. Trouble is you feel worse than if you had got up and got on!
Glad the lyrics made you smile, Emz! Several versions of this, and I noticed that in one it is "Dust myself off", rather than "yourself". And I smiled at the thought f you being too young for the vets team: would have been less surprised if you had been asked to be part of the juniors!
Physio report: a particularly good session with someone that I hadn't seen before, but comes highly recommended. And a runner, which helps! And I got to run for 5 minutes, and pain free at that, although there is a slight catch as it was on a gravitational treadmill, so the bottom half of the body is sealed into an air chamber and I was able to run at 70% gravity, then 80%, without issue. All sounds quite weird...but it was even stranger than that! To continue with the Alfredson's exercises, with slight modifications, plus general stretching and as much gym work as I can manage. Progress...just hope there are no set backs!
Another grey day here, despite the sunny forecast. And tomorrow's weather is supposed to be dire.
That's intriguing, ale. Sounds like you have access to top class physios. Mine doesn't even have a bog-standard TM nevermind a gravity one
Very good to hear that there's progress being made.
Fingers crossed you get off the bench in time for Lake V
Yum yum, rock cakes, poppy
Have fun at club night, Dustin.
SC: how long will you have to recover for post op?
LMH: Hope you managed a sunny LSR: Been raining here without stopping since yesterday afternoon.
I got home OK - took the train and hubby picked me up from station.
What: spin class this morning
Why: it's Tuesday
Last hard: sleeping although I did slightly better than ale
Last rest: 23/7
Lyrics: no
Dustin - I think you deserved an extra doughnut for that day!
Sounds good Alehouse.
Are you back to being able to do TKD now SC? Shame about the 10k - would have been a bit of a trek for you wouldn't it?
Are you secret streaking again emzap? :-)
Any news on when you may be able to resume running chicksta?
It sounds as though you're doing all that you can Poppy.
Op recovery depends how long it takes and extent of interventions as well as dependency on successful outcome. There are some watch outs as well so until it's done I don't know. Could be anything from two weeks to three months. I'm hopeful. Ho humm better than the alternative
alehouse good lyrics, know them
chick hope the spinning was good
fingers crossed for you alehouse
emzap a mile a day is often the way for me
lmh hope you manage a good lsr
all benchies wishing you better soon
lmh, off to the dentist again tomorrow this tooth will not settle, and thats why I have done a lot of 1 mile runs only
what: 2 miles with work buds later
why: its good to have company
last hard: yesterday evening 3 mile (oh on his bike) and then hiit 15 mins
last rest: 31/12
have a good day all
Good to see you Wabo, and thanks for reminding me to phone the dentist for a check up!
emzap - as someone who used to regularly break if they ran more than 30 miles a week I think you may surprise yourself if you keep listening to your body and building slowly.
It certainly is better than the alternative SC. No point in being anything other than positive.
