Sunday, 1 October 2017 - A little piece of you
Morning!
Well done, RFJ. Speedy
Good to see you, em. Get your iron and B12 checked. You may have a deficiency.
Enjoy, OH.

Yesterday's lyrics were Flowers in the Rain by The Move: the first record played on Radio 1, with the station celebrating its 50th birthday yesterday.
Don't know today's lyrics.
What: fitness suite
Why: force some weight through my Achilles
Why? we asked ourselves that this morning!
Last rest yesterday
Last hard ?
Lyrics no
Arrived safely having made the short drive from Tampa through some absolutely torrential rain. Better weather today hopefully - low 30s - lovely
What - Basingstoke half marathon
Why - my local
last rest - 4 weeks?
last hard - today
Not the easiest of courses: plenty of hills but it's on some lovely lanes.
Wasn't too sure on target based on fewer longer runs of late (last three races being mile, 5k, 5.4k) and knowing most of the pacers, the 1:30 guy said I should try to stick with him as training had been good of late. Sensed that would be a bit rich so aimed for 7:15s
Not easy to run even splits (there are two separate miles that are all climbing, another two all descents) but seemed to be there or thereabouts throughout. Put in some hard miles 10,11, and 12 but was treacle-esque the closing mile into the park/finish. 1:34:40 on the watch, will be 6-10s quicker on the chip. 69th overall, but will await V50 place. My club had 70+ runners and I was third V50 for us.
Absolutely knackered now. Oh that was course pb, it is around 3-4 minutes slower than the flat courses by general consensus. Overall ahead of goal, so can't complain.
LMH: Glad you arrived safe and sound but sounds like you have our rain.
OH: I hope the rain eases and all goes well for you and Els.
What: knee he said no so/5 mile walk
What :Knee is dictating at the moment
Last hard: see above and the rain
Lyrics: Maybe
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: 5km this morning followed by pub lunch with my Dad and stepmum
Why: why not
Last hard: bits of that 5 km. Marathon in 2 weeks and I'm panicking about missing my final long run (I know I've done the miles but my head is messing with me!).
Lyrics: nope
Glad you arrived safely LMH. How is it looking after all the hurricanes?
Dustin great work!
WP look after that knee.
Chick, serious needle phobia (fainting, sky high heart rate etc) means that may prove to be tricky...if it continues I will (eventually) go get checked out.
Have a good evening all.
Steady medium long run today for 9.32m
Emz, hope all goes well when you do get the things checked out
Off to the North tomorrow as going to Bible college for a week for a Mens Ministry short course near Chesterfield.
Take care
Totally with you on the needle phobia, em. But sometimes needs must.
Glad you arrived safely, LMH.
Naughty knee, poppy
Oh: how did it go today?
What: furthest run since April 23 (5 miles) and loved it. 20 bike miles in the afternoon.
Why: Gorgeous day
Last hard: not running further
Last rest: 5/8
Very wet and hilly but completed in 2:54. Els did full marathon in 6:13. Not PB courses!
And well done, Dustin!
emzap - might be worth supplementing anyway? Don’t worry about missed miles, they’ve gone and better 10% undertrained etc.
They don’t sound like fast courses OH. Was the weather as bad as forecast?
Sounds like a good time for the course Dustin.
Not a single dolphin spotted today - I do hope they haven’t moved.
