Thought I'd get in first today but on arrival at Shanghai, I got a text from Air New Zealand to say flight to Auckland was delayed by 12 h due to crew illness. Means I've also missed connection to Nelson which means total delay of 24h. Wasn't looking forward to 12h at airport being pestered by randoms trying to sell me the iPhone (8!) that they were actually using (6 in first hour) However when ANZ desk eventually opened they accommodated us in a 5* hotel from 1pm until 23:30. Flight now leaves at 2am. So what? A bath in a luxurious bathroom then some quality sleep.
Morning all Oh alehouse at least a 5 star hotel I guess but it is a pain just it! Happened to me on the way to Peru Wp enjoy your day and easy run Lmh you too and the cake
What laying in my bed thinking about an easy mile Why sensible head Last hard weds Last rest 31/12 Have a great day all
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
Hiya That,, OH, is what I call a "result"! Sleep and a shower on long haul, can't ask for more!
What - supposed to be easy, but guy I work with (and doing a Feb marathon) missed his 12 last night so said something about "10 at lunchtime"... Why - supposedly easy ahead of weekend XC double last rest - 11/9 last hard - Tuesday
Bag luck oh bit at least they are accommodating you so make the most of sleep and shower!
Ale good luck with MRI.
Dustin enjoy whatever you are persuaded to do.
What: 5 km this morning Why: with friend so she gave me a tour of her local running route (2.7m above sea level, I love the nl!) Last hard: Monday running, work generally Lyrics: no but I'm sure there's a joke that starts like that!
OH best of a bad result but still cost a day of your life. Not tempted to gym it then? Ale: Good luck with the MRI...small bribe to carry on up? Wabo: It's 50% mental so today I'll think about it twice :-) Dustin, if you have a sensible head I'd put it on at lunchtime unless you don't really want to race those runs or run those races! WP/Emz I'd love an easy/5k but....Up early this morning and out on the road just after 6 for breakfast meeting. Bit shattered as did not sleep to well either. What: meeting old friend for lunch then of to see Phil Jupitus at theatre tonight Why: Need a break Last hard: Getting up this morning Last Rest: Was it really only Monday? Lyrics: maybe
MRI is at 3; see the consultant re results next Thursday evening.
Ran just 1k last night plus lots of single leg presses. Couldn't run any further because I couldn't stop coughing! However no reaction today to the leg presses. Today looks like another rest day because of the chest infection.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
alehouse, I have no idea why I thought it was you but I did think, where is he going???? OH then enjoy the 5 star, I was too ill when it happened to me LMH no it didn't count I had to get up and run lol!! WP, nice miles Alehouse, wish you better I really do chick hope the treadmill blast was good! SC, where did this week go??? Out tomorrow morning early to do a park run with the running club girls then breakfast, looking forward to that. Then a weekend of grand kids family etc etc have fun all
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
Hope there is cake baking time in there Wabo! Also you said yesterday we are nearly at the end of the year! My calendar makes it over 50 days to go!! Enjoy the girlie parkrun! I had hoped to do one tomorrow but I suspect that it won't happen.
MRI scan was straightforward as only the legs from the knee down went into the scanner. Managed to doze for part of the half hour!
OH: won't be in HM this evening as not feeling sufficiently well to make the alehouse! Hope all is well on the other side of the world! Pouring here: hope it is better where you are!

Enjoy the half day Alehouse. When do you get the results of the MRI?
Nice to be able to run with your friend emzap.
Does thinking about running it count for the streak Wabo?
Hope you've had a good run Poppy.
Found it really tough out there this morning, cold and windy - one of those where whichever way I was running it seemed to be a headwind.
Ale: Good luck with the MRI...small bribe to carry on up?
Wabo: It's 50% mental so today I'll think about it twice :-)

But got chucked out of posh restaurant as mere ANZ punter.
Sorry, overslept this morning and had no time to start the thread.
OH: What's it with you and delayed flights ? Enjoy the posh hotel. How dare they chuck you out of the restaurant?
em: running with a local friend is a great way to discover places
ale: any news after the MRI?
SC: that's some hectic day!
Dustin: 10 at lunchtime would take me way too long ...
LMH: weather equally foul here today. It's been wet, windy and dark all day and supposedly no improvement forecast for the weekend either
What: 5k blast on the treadmill at lunchtime
Why: all I had time for / weather
Last hard: waking up
Last rest: 29/10
Lyrics: yes
Yesterday's were 4 Non Blondes, What's up
