    Morning.

    Yesterday's lyrics - Tired Of Waiting For You by The Kinks.

    Sorry to hear you had to cut your session short Donaldo.

    It's better than not running chicksta!

    I had a better night last night, much needed, and my peak flow is finally up a little. I won't be rushing out to run though as I still don't actually feel as though I could. Maybe Sunday if things keep improving. I shall head to the pool for a few lengths and a eucalyptus steam if I can make the time before work.

    What:          hopefully a few lengths
    Why:           it makes me feel better than doing nothing
    Last hard:   having patience
    Last rest:    4/1

    Lyrics - no.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning! 

    I see we are travelling back in time, Chick!

    Hope you have turned the corner, LMH!

    How was the match, Wabo?

    What: some a-g running this pm

    Why: at physios

    Lyrics: no
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    :D:D:D

    I always do this for the first couple of days of the new year!

    Sounds positive, LMH.

    Well, I so couldn't face the TM again and after having checked the weather radar it looked like it was going to stay dry. There was only a slight drizzle during the first couple of k and then the wind blew the clouds away and very nearly my legs from under my body. Discarded xmas trees were being blown about and I was hit by a flying plastic bottle but other than that it was a decent run.

    What: 10 and a bit miles / Day 4 of the 30 day yoga challenge tonight
    Why: because I could / because I'm committed
    Last hard: staying upright
    Last rest: 17/12

    Hiya
    Don - sounds a good session

    WP, Chick - decent miles!

    What - steady at lunchtime
    Why - County XC tomorrow
    last rest - 15/12
    last hard - Tuesday
    lyric - nope

    Nice miles chicksta - I'm glad you escaped relatively unscathed!

    Lovely to see you building back up too Poppy.

    It really is Dustin, the pool is only 22m but now I'm not tri training that isn't an issue, it's plenty long enough for me when I'm bimbling up and down. Loads of new kit in the gym and hundreds of classes a week if that's your kind of thing - all included.

    Enjoy your run Alehouse. I hope to be back out there soon.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Sounds like a bit of a nightmare SC. I do hope you don't get postponed!

    I hope so Wabo - I'm fed up of it now to say the least.

    LMH, sounds more positive, hope the swim went well.

    8.2 Miles for me this morning - was going to rest today but will do so tomorrow instead.  Today was a lovely easy run in about 64 minutes although average heart rate was higher than normal - I think it must have malfunctioned at some point as it read 199 as my maximum and I don’t go above 160, even during reps.  

    Thats 51 miles so far this year, a great start.

    Lyrics, alas, no.

    Nightmare, SC! I imagine you will get decent compensation! And hope the op goes ahead as planned!

    Don: good training...but don't get too over enthusiastic!!

    What: 2k jog this morning with no section longer than 300 metres! Then 2.2 miles on the a-g treadmill pm in just over 12 minutes @ 90% bodyweight

    Why: suddenly realised that the treadmill may not be available during my physio slot so had a short run this morning...and then the treadmill was available but only for a short time. Am seeing consultant next Thursday so we were planning what to tell him.

    Still hanging on and not gone to zzz yet. Filled in the details for the flight. Max is 600 Euros-not too shabby if paid- but takes 56 days to 6 months. Could be a deposit for next New Year :-)
    AOH Brrrr
    Careful Ale
    Good going Donaldo!
    Good luck all runners this weekend.
    parkrun for me tomorrow I hope

    That's a long time to wait SC - but better than not getting any compensation.

    Thanks OH - I hope I'm on the mend.

    It's not running Donaldo but it's better than not doing anything.

    What have you decided Alehouse?
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
