Morning.

Lyrics - Here today, gone tomorrow

Glad you could get out and had a good run SC.

What:           easy miles
Why:            sanity/cake/habit
Last hard:    sleeping
Last rest:     15/10
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

  • Morning

    LMH: What better reasons that those to run:-)

    What: Easy run
    Why: because I can
    Last hard: Lack of time/weather this week
    Lyrics: yes
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.
    Progression
  • 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.

    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Morning!


    Sadly not me in a 5* hotel Wabo! Hope you enjoyed it OH


    I'm still here and off to work shortly, morning only. Then it is off for MRI scan on Achilles area.

    Must dash! Back later.



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

    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

    Morning.

    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!

    Have a lovely day all.
  • That's definitely making the most of a bad situation OH.

    Don't let him lead you astray Dustin!

    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.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • 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

    Choice of bath or shower  :) 
    But got chucked out of posh restaurant as mere ANZ punter.
  • Spoil yourself...bath then shower :-)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 8 miles for me this morning the trees in the woods were really being blown to bits the wind was up for first 3 miles but then died down.

    Dustin : Goodness me 10 miles at lunchtime I hope you are either quick or a long lunch:-)
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.

    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 
  • Evening!

    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!


    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • That sounds like a nice weekend Wabo. Enjoy.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • RFJRFJ ✭✭✭
    hope you get the results soon Ale and that you get some answers

    OH - spoilt for choice :-) I hate delays....

    Friday plod for me 6.25m - just started to get a twinge in my right knee, so using a bit of the old RICE at the moment

    Take care all
