Tuesday 10th April 2018 When the world is on your shoulder
Morning!
Lyrics: When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
What: gentle fitness suite this evening
Why: awaiting consultant feedback on yesterday's MRI scan on back. Was a particularly painful night after he had poked and prodded it!
Today sees a different and more important consultant: prostate cancer check up.
Have a good day!

Hope everyone is ok, sorry to hear a painful night AH, hopefully the results will compensate that.
What: 13.1
Why: VLM approaching 13.1 needs doing
Food: Anything but burgers and chips
Lyrics:Yep
Yesterday's lyrics - 9-5 by Dolly Parton.
I really hope that you can get some answers and your back fixed soon Alehouse. Hope today's appointment is positive too.
It's cats and dogs here too Benjy but one advantage of the taper is I can only do a few miles anyway. I'm leaving it a little while to see if it eases but may resort to the treddie as it's very wet underfoot too. I'm worried about tweaking something though. Well done for thinking of taking some healthy options away with you. I usually get funny looks for doing that but I can't live on rubbish for more than a day or two at most, it makes me feel awful.
What: either ark building or a short and easy run
Why: it's very wet/taper
Last hard: tapering
Last rest: 6/4
Lyrics - familiar but I can't name that tune.
Gobi - yikes, hopefully you heal quickly and are soon back on the bike. I never realized you and RFJ have a "Mr Bump" competition though...
Benjy - sounds a good break and hope you get your 13 in.
Don - that is a long break, on the plus side , more running time!
SC - Loving the Boston mix up!
What - club session, just 3x1600s with 800 recoveries around 5k pace
Why - keep the legs churning
last rest - 15/12
last hard - not over reacting to every niggle and twinge
lyric - vaguely familiar
And soon time to back off, Dustin!

Fingers crossed for positive results, ale.
but a very cold North-Easterly is blowing. Went to the early bird spinning class at 6:30 today 
- that was done by 7:15 so I had time and went out for a 6 mile run. Luckily I had a spare set of gear with me as I was soaked in sweat at the end of my class 
. I had no legs for the first 1 or 2k and totally understand why triathletes have to practice brick sessions. Soon settled into a decent rhythm though and felt fine.
And hope your consultant appointment went well, Gobi.
Great to see Ollie popping back in.
Benjy: Glad you and the girls had a great trip.
Hope the rain clears, LMH.
It's still sunny here
BTW, there were indeed two blokes using the 100m indoor running track at the gym today
What: see above
Why: seemed like a good thing to do
Last hard: hill sprints on the bike were
Last rest: 18/3
Lyrics: no
Hope taper madness holds back on everyone doing VLM.
I have DOMS this week for the first time in years. That;'s what the good old downhill overstretched quads can do. Niggled yesterday and peaking this morning.
What: Easy miles, no more than five
Why: Need the miles but hurting
Last hard: Walking this morning
Last Rest: Thursday
Lyrics; Indeed
Hope the rain stops soon :-(
Nice use of time there chicksta. I am always soaked through after a spin class too.
Hope the consultant doesn't have more bad news for you Gobi.
I know where you're at with the niggles Dustin.
The advantage of tapering is that I had time to wait out the weather so I managed a dry run, well, I wasn't getting rained on anyway, lots of standing water.
ale, hope all goes well today.
Dreadful run this morning, stopped and walked several times, just had no energy. Definitely something working on me. Will take tomorrow off and go to the club session on Thursday, I’m sure I’ll be back to normal by then. Nice wee family social to go to today - I’ll be designated driver as no boozing at the mo.
lyrics, nope!
Prostate consultant went as expected: back in 6 months.
And back consultant booked for MRI results: Saturday pm.
Hope you are not in to much pain Gobi and that the consultant could suggest ways forward.
Don: will try not to have the beer that you are currently not drinking...but might be tempted!
I hope there's good news on Saturday Alehouse.
the hits keep coming
As feared I also have 2 broken ribs and bruised lungs to add to my list.
best part of 3 months for ribs to heal
See you in 2019 as they say
