Morning!
Lyrics: Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Yesterday's were "End of the Line", Traveling Wilburys, including Tom Petty who has recently passed away.
What: probably fitness suite
Why: 5.2 miles in 30 mins last night (at 80/85% bodyweight on a-g treadmill) followed by pushing the leg presses. Bumped into the physio before the session and the consultant after! Both re-inforced their view that the lep presses and weighted eccentric drops are crucial.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

what - probably an easy run to Greenwich
why - easing back ahead of (low key) Sunday XC league race
last rest - 11/9
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - nope (again)
12km last night in the end with friend. Am at the "12km feels hard how am I going to run 42" part of the taper
Today will mow lawns if it stays dry plus a cycle into town. Maybe a short run if time (but probably not).
Have a lovely day all.
I know that feeling well emzap, you’ll be fine on the day.
Hope it’s not too busy for your run Dustin.
Nice to have the reassurance Alehouse.
What: I don’t have to tell you
Why: Ditto
Last hard: Remembering it’s less than two weeks since Robin Hood
Last rest: 30/9
Lyrics -no.
From the article "Few organisations have done as much to popularise running in recent years as parkrun. Around 130,000 runners compete in 500-plus events across the country every weekend, and with its free entry, reliance on volunteers, and its family-friendly wholesomeness, it’s the embodiment of the amateur ethos. So has cheating become an issue?" Is parkrun about to implode because of perceived self importance? I hope not. As an avid parkrunner, core volunteer and PROVE champion I am sorely disappointed in the e-mail from PSH and commend the RW editor on his measured response. I think you guys are a safe group o share my thoughts with rather than the more toxic forums on various sites around including a number of pr specific. Cathartic download complete.
Achilles niggly today so
What: Wait and see
Why: Precaution
Last hard: Deciding not to run before end of work
Last Rest: Might be in progress
Lyrics: Oh yes. It's on, I think, all of my running playlists. :-)
Is your marathon this weekend, em? BTW, off on hols on Sunday into your old stomping ground. We're going to Bad Sooden in the Kasseler mountains. Hoping for some nice autumn weather for hiking and mountain biking.
7 people were killed in the first bad autumn storm yesterday. It hit us around 2pm and lasted maybe 20mins, but enough to fell a whole load of trees which in turn buried (and killed) people in their cars driving by. Scary!
What: an hour in the pool
Why: too sore for more
Last hard: yesterday's bad news
Last rest: 5/8
Lyrics: yes
What: 5 mile run
Why: naughty knee said lets try a little further
Last hard: see above
Lyrics: Not sure a maybe
Knee still niggly for first 2 miles then eases off hates downhill but likes the uphills.

WP hope that knee continues to behave
chicksta, oh that sounds bad, where are you
SC hope that achilles settles, I have not read any of the PR thing so am in the dark!
emzap I am hoping it will be dry still on Sunday when I might have a spare minute to do my grass
lyrics no, alehouse nice training
I'm doing Tring Ridgeway Run on Sunday, anyone done this one? I have it's lovely
what: 2 miles early doors
why: ticking over, did a slow 5 last night
last hard: this morning
last rest: 31/12
Have a great weekend all
WP...reply link on home page
WaboLink in the reply to both PSH letter and original article.
Emz...nothing beats a bit of taper craziness. When is the big day?
I just read the reply on home page thanks

Chick wow that's some storm. Stay safe. Enjoy your trip to Hessen (hope you can understand them :P). When I wanted to avoid the autobahn I used to drive though there on my way home. We also went on a work trip to Barfusspfad which was fun, but guess it's too cold this time of year.
SC a bit in the dark about it all, saw the headline but didn't get a chance to look.
Two lawns mowed, a tree pruned, now resting!
LMH: had you in mind when I set the lyrics given where you are!
What: nice afternoon so did a small amount of run/walking. 1.4k actually run with each section being either 200 or 300 metres. All seemed fine...although it may well not feel fine on waking as I then went to the leg press machine, plus bike, stretches.
Why: mixing caution and advice
Off to read about parkrun!
Like others I saw the email first before reading the article (and a lot of toxicity too) I thought that it was up front and a good piece of work, I do believe that parkrun was probably the wrong target to do the piece and deed. And didn't really think it was necessary to draw attention to cheating and cheaters, so I am a little divided on it as can see it from both sides... (sitting on the fence)
easy day today for day 6 of running every day in October 2.26m in 17:30
Take care all
SC I agree, totally OTT - I didn’t see anything in the article to be defensive about.
Happy anniversary RFJ.
