  • Morning.

    Yesterday's lyrics - Hang On by James.

    Currently gusting at 50mph here chicksta - I may need to weigh Grace down for our walk! Hoping it eases soon so I can get a few miles in this morning.

    What:             short and easy/nothing
    Why:              weather/work
    Last hard:      laying in bed listening to the wind
    Last rest:       15/7

    Lyrics - yes.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Morning

    Chick: I hope the gym goes well for you.

    LMH: Poor grace I hope the winds die down for her and for your run later!

    Nothing for me have a head cold and feel awful such a thick head aching shivering etc but will see later even if some time on exercise bike. This will be third day with no exercise:-(
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.

    morning all
    blooming windy, run delayed to later!!

    Thanks all for the information, I'll get her running then OH! She does the nose blowing thing as well but was advised if there is any dizziness or discomfort go to hospital, she was unimpressed with her BF calling an ambulance...
    OH enjoy the short run, if you do it!
    WP, don't worry about not doing it, just take care, your body knows best
    LMH enjoy whatever you do
    chick enjoy the gym

    what: run with some intervals later (poss the boy will come with me for part)
    why: schedule says so
    last hard: last night
    last rest: 31/12

    have a good day all
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Hiya
    Good news Stray
    WP - hope you feel better soon
    Absolutely lovely start to the day down here, which is more than can be said of last night! (Blustery and heavy rain).
    what - lunchtime miles
    why - building blocks
    last rest - Monday
    last hard - yesterday. Coach cover for the junior sprint group. 18 of the little treasures (ages 12-15). I though the U11s were noisy. Ha, what was I thinking. 
    Excuse upon excuse to shirk the odd 150 (after some sprint start 30m runs), but fair play to them, they all did the lot (& only one puked)
    Home in the rain, then out for 5 tempo. Felt pretty good, but legs a bit stiff today. QoP appointment tonight so I may be squealing later.

    Have fun out there and be safe!
  • Hope you feel better soon Poppy. If you're ill you're ill, better to rest up and get well.

    Enjoy this evening OH and Alehouse.

    Winds had abated a little by the time I had walked Grace but there was still about 40 secs/mile difference to my splits into the wind and with it behind me!

    Well done on taming the teenagers Dustin.

    Hope conditions improve for your run Wabo.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning
    What: will do 15km with a friend later.  Though it's also very very windy here
    Why: last run before Worcester Half on Sunday (I may go out for a mile)
    Last hard: This may well be it, though it's meant to be easy
    Lyrics: nope

    Feel better soon WP.

    What sort of dog is Grace?

    OH, remind me, which islands are you on?  I've just been invited to Orkney.

    Have a great day all.

    Kirkwall Orkney is where we stay, emzap. When are you invited? Work or pleasure?
  • Good news, SC :+1:

    RFJ: must be nice to run with your daughter. I wish my dad was a runner ... mind you, he's too old now anyway.

    LMH: I love tailwind splits: It's forever windy where I live so I tend to run out against the wind and benefit from a negative split with no extra effort. You probably need to weigh Grace down with something so she's not blown away :)

    You must have worked those teenagers pretty hard, Dustin.

    Hope you can shake this soon, poppy. After effects from Lake V?

    What: 4k on the tready (various drills again) and some resistance work
    Why: recovery
    Last hard: stopping at 4k and putting the sensible head on
    Last rest: 5/8
  • Afternoon!

    Lyrics: no

    What: fitness suite in an hour or so

    Why: what I do! General fitness today as Achilles not too wonderful after working it hard yesterday on the leg press machine in particular.

    Looking forward to catching up with OH later!

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • Sorry to hear that your achilles is rebelling Alehouse.

    I loved Orkney when we visited emzap. Grace's mum was a big working whippet and her dad three-quarters greyhound, we think the missing bit was probably collie or spaniel.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Take care
