Thread start relief LMH ;)

Today's lyrics:
I'm taking a ride
with my best friend

-5 out there.  Can this cold please just bugger off now??  Anyway,  I shall be running outside. Let's see what this creaky old body is up to.

Comments

  • You were up early Chick :)

    It is jolly cold outside and heating did not kick in so waiting for it to warm house up. :o

    What: run
    Why: Because I can
    last hard: Getting up in the cold house
    Lyrics:I believe so
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.
    Progression
  • Morning.

    Yesterday's lyrics - Catch My Fall - Billy Idol.

    Much appreciated chicksta.

    Heavy frost here.

    Hope it soon warms up Poppy.

    What:        short and easy/hopefully gym
    Why:         work prevents longer/didn't get yesterday
    Last hard:  imagining warm days
    Last rest:   6/3

    Lyrics - no.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Sorry no contribution yesterday, was busy and not at computer. Just had a look at yesterday's lyrics now, wouldn't have got it.

    Chicksta: That is good news out of ICU, hope the start of things improving.

    AH: Birmingham Uni is a sports specialist I think isn't it, they produce Six Million Dollar Man machines there from what I heard (although with inflation since the 70s, Brexit fears and collapse of Toys R US is £137 Man)

    Wabo: Happy (belated) Birthday

    What: Cleared the day and aiming for 20miles steady away this morning. Wet and muddy lots of places so probably seafront route twice, could be soul destroying doing it twice, so might detour.

    Why: Got to get the miles up and the long ones in

    Lyrics: My goodness, I know it, I know it... but can't put finger on it so... no.

    Have a good day.

    morning all
    Wabo - sounds like the party was a blast
    Emz - good news job wise
    Benjy - enjoy the 20

    What - aiming for 10 miles easy
    Why - midweek mlr after 600s last night
    last rest - 15/12
    last hard - yesterday. 5x600s and played 'dare' with the puke zone on 4 and 5. Definitely hanging...
    Looks like I'm in the Brecons for a marathon 2 weeks after London: Was supposed to run Dorset in heavy snow week at the start of the month. That was rearranged for July (I'm away) but they have squeezed me into the Welsh one (at my request:it was full). Great service. Will be a long slow recovery run I think!
    Lyric too seems very familiar
  • StrayceltStraycelt ✭✭✭
    Morning all. Following on from yesterday's tready session back this morning for some more. 200m to go and ping SVT and hello 244bpm. All stop. Hmmm. Not even doing speed work!
    What : 4.8k tready
    Why: Couldn't make it to 5
    Last hard: See above
    Last rest: Last Wed.
    Lyrics: No
    Ho hum. 
    Not looking forward to BEaster. Have Westonbirt 10k on the Friday so might be okay for that before it hits.
    Dustin, I like your thinking!

  • chickstachicksta ✭✭✭

    Children of the 80s, you know these lyrics, trust me :)

    Well done for braving the puke zone, Dustin.

    Benjy: Hope the 20 went well.

    Poppy: The one thing you don't want at the mo is a cold house ...

    Happy belated birthday, wabo

    What: another 11
    Why: I have a deficit from last week
    Last hard: warming up again - boy it was freeeezing
    Last rest: 18/3

  • StrayceltStraycelt ✭✭✭
    Post Google search and Chickst, you are right and for the younger reader...the 90's :-) 

  • WaboWabo ✭✭✭
    morning all
    I'm a day out I suddenly realised its Wednesday and I have to do the wages
    congrats on your new job emzap
    LMH I would love to give you all cake!!
    chicksta thanks!
    dustin, so good!!!
    benjy thanks, enjoy the 20
    WP enjoy your run
    think we're all done with the cold right??
    CHICK, I must know these lyrics I am sure.

    what: 3 miles later then dinner with my OH
    why: we need some us time!
    last hard: last night 4.5 with a guy from work, made me run harder I can tell you
    last rest: 31/12/16

    lovely sunny day and I have my window open at work!!
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • chickstachicksta ✭✭✭
    Missed the good job news, em. Congrats! Will the travelling come to an end then?

    Dibs: Lane hoggers in the pool drive me up the wall too and I'm just a very average swimmer... My dad had a near heart attack Tuesday of last week and they operated 5 hours on him putting in bypasses and a new heart valve. A tricky op for anyone, but the man is 83 so it was a very scary experience and a rather bad week. Things are looking up though and the doctors are happy with the progress he's making.

  • StrayceltStraycelt ✭✭✭
    Crikey Chicksta: That's a lot of op! Hope all keeps going well. Best wishes, thoughts and prayers.
  • Why does the nicest day of the week so far weather wise have to be the one when I have the least time to run before work? It was lovely, if cold, out this morning.

    Enjoy dinner Wabo.

    Are they getting more frequent SC?

    Hope you had a good long run Benjy.

    Don't go playing catch up chicksta!

    That could be a fun day out Dustin.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • chickstachicksta ✭✭✭

    That's annoying LMH. Too bad we aren't fulltime runners eh?

    Not intending to play catch up as I'm not following any plan. I just make my workouts up corresponding to how I feel and how much time I have. But I have such a craving for miles this week it's like a physical thing. Like smokers need their nicotine kick I am just craving those runs. Tomorrow will be shorter though o:) I have to do my S&C routine in the gym which means less time for running.

    Arvo Peeps

    What: AM: another 3100m in the pool. 15x100 holding 1:34 main set
              PM: 1hr 20 Watt bike, threshold and intervals
    Why: Staff 70.3 + no running (countdown 8 days until I can run!)
    Last Hard: Both sessions today were pretty intense
    Last Rest:  15/03
    Lyrics: I am a 1990 baby and I have zero clue!!

    Straycelt- SVT of >200 is pretty intense!!

    Chick- That sounds very hectic! I am glad he is doing well. That is a big undertaking- must have a strong body and mind to have pulled through that!

    LMH- Life is funny like that hey! at least you go something in!
  • alehousealehouse ✭✭✭
    Arvo, as some might say!

    Lyrics: no 

    What: undecided

    Why: work got in the way and am now cleaning up after the builders.  May walk or go to the fitness suite. 

    Snow is forecast for here for Easter weekend. Not such a nice day today: last two have been bright and sunny; today is grey.  No rain as yet.
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • I made it to the gym this afternoon for my little routine chicksta so can tick that box. I'm glad you're maintaining your commonsense approach.

    Did you have a better time at the pool today Dibs?

    I am so hoping we don't get any more snow Alehouse. I can't remember a spring marathon campaign that I've had such consistently bad weather to contend with.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Dibs3690Dibs3690 ✭✭✭
    About 3/4 of the session LMH. Then they decided to open the lane to everyone....... honestly.. irritates me. 

    Glad you got to the gym!
