Monday 20th November 2017 - You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams

Morning.

Lyrics - You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams

We are forecast a wet and breezy morning, not my favourite running conditions but then I'm unlikely to get those in an English winter:-(

What:            easy miles
Why:             I'll feel worse if I don't
Last hard:     feeling enthusiastic
Last rest:       15/10

Yesterday's lyrics - That's Entertainment by The Jam.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning lmh, thought I'd be early enough to give you a break but you were up very early!

    What: running club
    Why: is Monday
    Last hard: the knowledge of going back to work today
    Lyrics: nope.

    Have a lovely day all

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    Hope you don't get too wet, LMH!

    Working from home, Emz?

    What: short run/walk plus drills

    Why: being careful and following instructions.

    Lots of ironing, cleaning and marking books to be done also: probably that it is wet here, also.

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

    Ale I nearly always work from home.  The travel recently is unusual (well so much of it anyway).  Saying that, I'm in Germany for 2 weeks from next Monday and Sheffield one day this week...

    Morning again!


    What: 2.2k run with just two short stops to walk down a short rise and to negotiate some steps. Achilles felt fine...but general fitness and breathing is not good! Even if not injured it is going to take a long time to gain full fitness! Calf raises and drills completed, so that is over a day's rest until the next session tomorrow evening. 

    Was damp out, rather than wet...and warm. Wore far too much, which is not a bad thing!

    Enjoy the club night, Emz!

    We're usually up around 0530hrs in the week emzap. Enjoy club tonight.

    Alehouse - that sounds positive after yesterday. Your fitness will come back quickly once you're able to run consistently. I was fortunate - the rain held off until I was walking home at the end of my run.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Sorry to hear about the ACT issues over the weekend SC, but glad scan is tomorrow.  When do you get the all important results?

    Wish I'd known that yesterday Alehouse!

    Sorry to hear about the run/race interrupted SC. Hope you don't have to wait long after you've had the scan.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Good running,  SC. Fingers crossed for the scan.

    Hope return to work wasn't  too bad,  em.

    Once the injury is cleared you'll be surprised how quickly base fitness comes back,  ale.

    What: 5 miles on the treadie
    why: miserable day
    last hard: a mile at what used to be MP in another life
    last rest: 29/10
    lyrics: no

    Return to work was OK but wow it's much more relaxing not go go on holiday than to come back to the stress!

    Did 3x400 with 400 recovery followed by 3x600 with 400 recovery. Leg couldn't do any more so I called it a night. 9 km in total

    Sc hope all is OK

    Ale I just bought 2 pairs of shoes last week!
