Morning.
Lyrics - They pull up their chairs to the table
Race well chicksta. Grey, windy and forecast to be wet soon here - you are more than welcome to it!
emzap - I picked Grace's water bowl up and somehow pulled the bottom of my back on the left quite badly. My whole back on that side seems a bit vulnerable at the minute, it hasn't settled since I upset it with the DIY. Good to hear that you enjoyed your time off and your return to running. Hope you're over whatever it was.
I had an awful night last night, woke at 0100hrs having a stressy work dream and then couldn't get back to sleep for two hours due to the noise (bass and a little more) of a concert/band somewhere. No idea who/what/where, we can sometimes hear the festivals at Castle Donington if the win is in the right direction but I don't think there was anything on there and they never usually go on that late. Eventually dropped off after 0300hrs before being woken by the wind at 0500hrs. It could be a long day. Back feels a bit better than when I went to bed, every time I sat still yesterday it would stiffen up so I wasn't sure what was going to happen overnight but it's not too bad at the minute. I'd like to run long tomorrow so need to work out what it's best to do today to make that achievable.
What: I don't know
Why: see above
Last hard: sleeping
Last rest: 12/6.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
Yesterday's lyrics were "Say a Little Prayer", covered in particular by Aretha Franklin, who passed away on Friday.
Sorry you had a dreadful night, LMH; mine was much better after yesterday's dreadful lack of sleep. Extremely wet and windy here already. I imagine the prospects for cricket in Nottingham are not very good.
What: fitness suite
Why: ran yesterday so being sensible. May or may not tag a very short run on the end.
Looking forward to the report, Chick! Go well!
SC: Well done on race sorry about episode but you raced and did all you could so a win win in my book:-)
Chick : Good luck today for your half I hope you have better weather today.
LMH: Sorry to hear about your awful night I hope back eases up for you today!
Ale:Enjoy fitness suite sounds like your weather is better indoors today.Well done 100 pr yesterday
What: 100 bicycle crunches and some hand weights
Why: All I can manage
Last hard: Foot
Lyrics:NO but I knew yesterday's
I managed 100 BC yesterday so tum is tender and moaning but will do what I can to stop me going nuts:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Hope you have a better night tonight LMH.
Feeling fine this morning so might brave the weather for a run a little later. With school starting tomorrow, I will spend most of the day at work getting things ready. I am training 10 or so of our youngest teachers to be effective middle leaders and need to do some final prep for that too.
Lyrics, nope.
impressive intervals despite the cardiac lottery, SC
Now in Keswick. Not actually raining despite horrendous forecast. Haven't made any plans yet. Meeting up with son and his GF in middle of week.
What: 32km done with walking breaks
Why: needed to see if I could do it. Missed the turning so ended up running the whole way to Worcester and getting the train home then run from station. Was perfectly 31.5 km
Last hard: that was. The run was into the wind the whole way!
Lyrics: nope
Hope it went well chick.
Ow lmh hope that eases soon
Don sounds like a busy start to the term
Have a lovely day all
10 miles for me this morning, building up to a decent pace. First half just over 39 mins then about 36:20 for the last 5 miles. Felt good and legs felt well recovered from yesterday’s distance.
Good report and sensibly run, Chicksta
Well done, Chick! Looking at the winning times, the wind, the temperature, the turns, the inclines, the cobbles etc you are in good shape! Those little inclines over bridges are strength sapping!
Nice long run, Emz!
Weather has been pretty grim here as well, OH! When it hasn't been raining it has been grey. Had the lights on in the house all day! Another of the uni girls did her 100th parkrun yesterday at Thurso...and today was moving on to Orkney! She and boyfriend are in the midst of a five week cycle tour of Scotland and beyond.
Looking at the weather in Nottingham for the test it looked reasonable from around 11. Unlike the cricket.
Orkney and Shetland are (or have been since 1472) part of Scotland
.. or are they going further afield?
Will be on Westray for BisGeos 12 on Saturday so can't say hello to them
