Wednesday, 25 October - Here I am again in this mean old town

Morning all,

Today's lyrics
Here I am again in this mean old town and you're so far away from me

Yesterday's were Thunder by Imagine Dragons.

I thought I'd posted yesterday but can't see it. Damn ...

40: great you're back on here. Running on consecutive days is hard for me too but I still haven't given up hope. Maybe I'm just deluded ;)

Hope you both get places, LMH.

If Runners World US is the big mothership it's likely that their policies make it across the pond which would be a real shame.

Our sub 3:30 thread has moved over to WhatsApp which is ok but of course you're in a closed group and nobody else can join.

This is a far as I'd go with social media. Facebook is a no-no for me.

What: yoga
Why: sore throat
Last hard: sleeping
last rest: 15/10

  • Morning.

    I didn't know yesterday's lyrics.

    Are you there alone Alehouse?

    I don't do Pinterest, Whatsapp, FB (other than an occasional look on Mark's profile) etc - this is as near to social media as I get so I may become extinct if the forums go:-( I am on Fetch - maybe I could persuade those of you that aren't to move over there if these forums ever die? I would miss this.

    What:           short and easy
    Why:            work stops play
    Last hard:    not being given the information I need to do my job properly
    Last rest:     15/10

    Lyrics - that's a definite yes.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning all
    Nice to see 40 pop in <waves>
    Despite the sufferance from QoP on Monday, it appears to have eased the tightness...

    What - easy lunchtime with work pal
    Why - recovery after last night: 400/400/300/300/200/200/100/100
    first of each distance at progressive paces: 5k, mile, 800, 400, each followed by steady (mp) pace run x 3 sets, 800 easy between each.
    last rest - 11/9
    last hard - yesterday

    Social media - on a couple of whatsapp groups, not on insta, use fb but mainly for running groups, Would be a pity to lose these fora, been on here since 2002....
     

  • Dustin, glad it's eased but the sesh looks painful
    Chicksta, I remember sub 3.30...those were the days :-)
    LMH I'm with you today but it is all relative
    What: Short and easy
    Why: Not tempting fate
    Last Hard: Remembering to do everything required before holiday on Saturday :-)
    Last Rest: Sunday
    Lyrics: Yes indeed.

    Afternoon

    What: 4 km round the block this morning
    Why: time
    Last hard: the last few talks at this conference
    Lyrics: possibly

    I'd go to fetch lmh, I'd miss you all too much!

    Tough session Dustin

    Hope calf eases rfj
    Ale sounds positive (also good weather!)

    Have a lovely evening all. I'm off to Prague old town
  • I think I identify with number 4 the most SC. Another holiday?

    Enjoy the old town emzap.

    That sounds like another serious session Dustin.

    When do you travel to Snowdonia Wabo?
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Evening!

    Just back from Ibiza. Hot day again: must have been close to 30. Too hot to sit by the pool for too long!!

    What: 2k, in just three sections, with the longest 900 metres. And then a short swim to cool off.

    Why: a run day.

    Lyrics: no

    And the alehouse beckons!

    Prague is on my to-do list: enjoy it Emz! Where are you off to , SC
    Ibiza was not on my to-do list but would go again...out of season.

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Evening all....

    4m D&D steady followed by KoP

    Edinburgh Marathon all booked for 2018 (Mrs RFJ doing the 10k day before), decided to use AirBnB for the first time, so much cheaper (half the price that premier inn were wanting for 4 nights.....

    Lyrics - classic, one of my favourite bands

    Take care
