Morning.
Lyrics - I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
I'm hoping to have walked Grace and at least got out for my run before the forecast heavy rain starts - are we having summer this year or were the few nice days we had it?
What: easy miles, hopefully a MLR but legs may not agree
Why: not working until this afternoon
Last hard: I'm keeping it easy
Last rest: 15/7
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Yesterday's lyrics were, "Pick Yourself Up", various artists (Fred Astaire, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra). Don't know today's.
What: more work in the fitness suite shortly.
Why: give me strength!
Very wet here, and likely to remain wet until late afternoon.
Wabo - ouch. Tooth pain is horrible.
Emz - agree with what others ave said that a mile can build up. There is possibly a more polite way of saying things.
Maybe he meant that running a mile for streak preservation purposes alone, is a waste of time. That view I can sympathise with, but if it keeps some motivated then what does it matter?
What - easy run tonight, plus new xc league meeting
why - in different office this week so running at lunch not possible/ was asked to be involved
last rest - 04/07
last hard - yesterday ; 5x1ks , slight hammy twinge on rep 5, so stretching and careful management in order.
Now where is that sensible head?
Getting bored on the bench but needs must. Inflammation going down and discomfort around Achilles definitely reducing. Am in no hurry to flare it up again. Planning to walk 5k Saturday in Dublin and jog/walk the half to minimise any sort of damage. As I'll have an enforced layoff just after that feels like a plan. Weather not good yet it's supposed to clear by lunchtime.
Dustin I left the sensible thread head in the bottom of the thread locker:-) along with a tray of doughnuts:-)
What: 6 mile walk in torrential rain/exercise bike 1hour
Why: keeping the fitness levels up
Last hard: the rain
Lyrics : Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Not kayaking today as forecast to get windy later
probably should run sometime but a few errands to do first.
last few days have been good but hard
last rest: Friday
lyrics not a scoobie
Sounds promising SC.
Has the platelet rich plasma therapy been considered as a possibility to speed your recovery Alehouse?
My left hamstring is a little niggly too Dustin, one of those things that I tend to get quite a lot but as I'm not supposed to run hills anyway it's quite easy to manage.
You are doing well at keeping yourself moving Poppy, hopefully you'll be back to where you were quite quickly once you can run again, I'm sure the walking helps.
An hour in the fitness suite d&d: I usually go in the evening and found it much harder work in the morning!
SC: As you're pretty fit I hope that the lower end of the post-op recovery spectrum applies.
LMH/Dustin: careful with those hammies.
After about 72 hours it has stopped raining. OMG. I can see blue sky! Still, I've pretty much given up on this summer. Just as well I can't run ...
Ale: good going in the gym. I'm the opposite - I prefer morning training and feel usually pretty tired and lethargic if I do anything in the evening. Lunchtime is OK though.
What: an hour in the pool
Why: drills - I want to become decent at this swimming lark
Last hard: today - my legs are toast (too many kick drills)
Last rest: 23/7
Lyrics: no
Dustin, that's exactly what annoyed me. The way he said it. Maybe the mile isn't doing anything fitness wise, but it's getting me out the door, and I'm enjoying it. If and when I want to build it up, I can, but when I want to, not because some silly man has told me it's a waste of time to get changed for that. Thanks for the support guys
LMH gad you listened to your legs. Summer was here yesterday, gone today. Managed to find a dry window to run though.
What: a mile and foam rolling
Why: because I want to
Last hard: the foam roller
Lyrics: yes
Have a great day all.
Lyrics no
emzap enjoy the mile and the foam roller??
chick have a great swim
alehouse hope the fitness suite was good
WP your fitness sounds amazing to me
sc take care hope the healing continues
what: 3 miles off road later and hiit
why: fun
last hard: last night speedy work runners
last rest: 31/12
I need root canal so back next week I go. I came off my bike a few years back and hit my cheek bone on the pavement, ever since then I have had trouble that side of the face. Second nerve to die now!! I don't know if that's why, Dentist doesnt 100% know the cause but is sure the nerve has died.
Have a good day all
