I tried to start the thread earlier Dustin but the site was being silly. I take it carb loading begins today? My favourite part of marathon training:-) It's a lovely morning here too.
My left ankle was very niggly first thing but seems a bit better after walking Grace. I know that I probably shouldn't run on it, especially this week when it serves no training purpose, but it's so nice I want to be out and yesterday walking was worse than running so I've taped it for support and will head out shortly. I have a physio appointment tomorrow afternoon, could have made it for this afternoon but I'm going out for a belated birthday lunch with a friend whose birthday is a week after mine and tempting though it was I didn't think I could cancel that to go to physio...........
What: hopefully an easy run though will walk home if things aren't ok Why: I just want to be out and running in this glorious morning Last hard: difference between heart and head Last rest: 13/4
Lyrics - no.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
Ooops wrote in end of Wednesday, copied pasted to Thirsday so not as to confuse top of the pile.
LMH: Good tip, I may take a hat then ditch it last minute if it doesn’t
agree with me. I’m guessing discarded clothing goes to charity.
Chiksta:
I know you what you mean it being relative, it’s just going from Arctic
to Ethiopa in 48 hours gives me something to moan about, and the
British weather is the one and alone thing to moan about. I think the
decision for me though has been made, nice and steady for VLM, enjoy it,
then then do York Mara again with intention of getting a better time.
Dustin: Hope the Expo was good.
Welshpoppy: Hope neck and shoulder ok today.
Tried
to post also this morning, thought I can’t surely be first, chose song
then got error no permissions garden community (!?). Felt great because I
could put lyrics Yes.
Yesterday here was a very hot 23C 10 mile,
no breeze of anything worthwhile from the sea. Funny how May to October
regular long runs in hot humid weather, but the sudden change is
something different. Just looked at Accuweather for London, predicting
possible thunderstorms, that would actually be fun.
What: A fairly nippy 6 late morning, then that’s it until Sunday Why: Looked at what I did for York Marathon and it follows same for the Thursday beforehand Lyrics: Hurumph!
Back from Mallorca to very similar weather it was there!
What; something gentle Why: sprinted through airport to try and get to New Street in time to get train home (they are once an hour). Made it onto New Street platform 15 sec after the train had left. Then realised I'd hurt my leg sprinting through various transport hubs :S Will try it out this morning as think it eases when I move. Last hard: sleeping, my leg was sore Lyrics: nope
Re eating like an elephant. Despite my best efforts, I seem to be putting on weight all the time at the moment and no idea why. I'm eating sensibly and running sensibly, so I'm blaming the stress :P
morning all lyrics no emzap hope your leg is ok, you and me both re weight, I'm fed up with it tbh ooh benjy your running sunday!! So is my work mate I must get up there to give a shout LMH hope that the run was glorious
I've recently found my MPG player my OH bought l lost it ages ago, its so good when I run solo which is a lot
what: a glorious 2.5 miles Why: lovely sun last hard: this morning last rest: 31/12/16
have a great day all - yoga again later
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
It was so nice out that I probably (ok, did) run further than I really should have. I may pay for it tomorrow but am icing in hope:-)
A nice, white, lightweight running cap is what you need Benjy, you won't even know you have it on. When are you heading to London?
Glad you were able to run emzap.
Not long until you taper now Donaldo?
You could try increasing your protein emzap and investing in some lower cal snacks - I love sweet chilli chickpeas (from Holland and Barrett) or dried coconut chips (either lightly salted or choc coated) as I like to sit and nibble and both of those seem to last for ages.
It sounds as though you enjoyed the sun this morning too Wabo - it makes such a difference.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
I’ll taper now LMH. Plan is rest tomorrow, then 6 including some strides on Sat, 10 on Sunday, 4 on Monday, club night but just going easy on Tues, 5 or 6 on Wed and Thursday and then rest on both Fri and Sat before the race on Sunday. I’ll be itching to get going by then.
G'day all. Hope the Maranoia is being kept at bay alongside the taper madness. Heavy and full day yesterday prevented any sort of run and same again today with the journey to Bala. Seems I'm tapering if I want to or not. Flying tomorrow afternoon so might squeeze a short one in. Looking forward to getting away just for a few days! Keep it going Ale. Careful Emz. Heal well all benchies What: Nowt Why: Up north Last Hard: Yesterday's imppersonation of blue tailed insect then TKD Last Rest: Last Thursday Lyrics: No idea
Legs still not right. Absolutely jiggered after parkrun trial yesterday. Don't know what's going on. Nice day here. Swam then decorated room with daughter. Attempted to run this evening but took forever to do 3.12 miles. lyrics: no

LMH, hope the ankle was okay. Emz, you too!
Enjoy the final few wee runs if you are tapering for London!
Lyrics, nope.
Time for a spot of gardening
A nice, white, lightweight running cap is what you need Benjy, you won't even know you have it on. When are you heading to London?
Glad you were able to run emzap.

Lyrics: no
Warm here, also!
What: walk plus fitness suite
Why: to try to prevent any more weight going on. Far too much has gone on since last June.
Heavy and full day yesterday prevented any sort of run and same again today with the journey to Bala.
Seems I'm tapering if I want to or not. Flying tomorrow afternoon so might squeeze a short one in. Looking forward to getting away just for a few days! Keep it going Ale. Careful Emz. Heal well all benchies
What: Nowt
Why: Up north
Last Hard: Yesterday's imppersonation of blue tailed insect then TKD
Last Rest: Last Thursday
Lyrics: No idea
It will come off once you can run again Alehouse - which will hopefully be soon.
Have a great weekend SC.
Nice day here. Swam then decorated room with daughter. Attempted to run this evening but took forever to do 3.12 miles.
lyrics: no
wont be around much at the weekend - reunion from the days in green
5.25m progressive run tonight
Take care
