Morning, and Happy Easter and April Fool's Day all rolled into one!
Lyrics: Wise Men Say...
What: will try to get a double run in with a 9 o'clock Great Run Local 5k followed by another at 11. Should get a few ks in inbetween
Why: time I upped the miles.
Enjoy your day!

Yesterday's lyrics - This Woman's Work by Kate Bush.
Glad to see that yesterday's experiment was a success and you're ready to push on and get back into training proper Alehouse:-)
What: eating Easter Eggs until I'm sick
Why: isn't that what you're supposed to do today?
Last hard: deciding which to have first
Last rest: 6/3
Lyrics - I think so.
Bucketing it down here. Didn't get to do my long one yesterday. My cousins were here in to the afternoon, only managed a 6 early evening. Going down to London Tuesday, so really hoping to get a long one in either today or tomorrow, but got work to finish before I go, going to try this morning.
What: Daren't say a long one, if I do it doesn't happen.
Why: Want to get it in before going away.
Lyrics: Yes
Enjoy eggs!
Heard about that Lirpa Loof bear that London zoo has that does purple poo?
What: my Pilates routine at the fitness suite plus 10 minutes running on a shale surface, covering a whole 1.57k.
Why: would have been a complete fool to rush in and do what I suggested earlier. I'm sure you didn't believe I would.
Didn't think you would, ale. Hope the back is OK.
I know runners do purple poo when they down too much beetroot in a hope to improve endurance
Hope you got a decent run in, Benjy.
What: 10 mile progression run
Why: time to put a bit of effort in
Last hard: The first 5 miles were brutally windy. Tailwind on the return was nice though.
Last rest: 18/3
Lyrics: yes
What: AM - jog/walk to test the achillies
PM- Aiming to sit on the bike for T2 stuff
Why: Staff 70.3
Last hard: My chest ( see below)
Last rest: 31/03
I have a virus... right when I was getting back into training it hit me. Nasty cough, no sinus involvement but I have been coughing so much my abs hurt. Anyway.. I had 3 days 'off' training but had some family commitments I needed to attend with my OH. So late nights and feeling exhausted anyway.
Positives was a jog run today in new trail park I found. I took it easy so only 20 mins total of jogging with walk breaks. Felt good. No pain re achillies which was nice. Now I just need to get better so I can start my now 9 week training block before the race.
No eggs for me- but I did have pancakes with bacon this morning... Easter is my excuse for that!
Sorry to hear about the bugs Dibs
Hard parkrun for me yesterday after Fridays race 22:03....
8.8m today as back to a short race tomorrow (5m trail)
Happy Easter all
Lyrics, yes
Take care
Alehouse - I thought you were as likely to do that as I was to stuff myself silly with Easter eggs:-) Glad you were able to get another run in.
Hope you're feeling better soon Dibs.
It was a nice morning for running here chicksta - raining now though. Do you have a Bank Holiday tomorrow?
MLR for me this morning and the legs obviously thought that yesterday's ten was the equivalent of a day off as they were surprisingly bouncy despite the big week/month.
Enjoy your race tomorrow RFJ.
LMH: I love that bouncy feeling. Doesn't happen much to me though... Proper 4 day weekend here with tomorrow off as well.
Good luck RFJ.
Sorry to hear you've been under the weather Dibs.
Quality miles Benjy!
what - 13 trail, wet and muddy with a few pals. Gardening all afternoon.
why - social
last rest - 15/12
last hard - Friday probably
Hoping to get my last lsr in tomorrow
no eggs here
