Monday 20th August 2018 - I'm growing old and I want to go home
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - I'm growing old and I want to go home
Sounds like a sensible run chicksta.
It did brighten and dry up here Alehouse but was quite windy until late afternoon.
I didn't do anything yesterday apart from about eight miles of walking (just in everyday life rather than going for a walk) but back is still not great this morning. I think I've worked out what caused the problem (whilst it went picking Grace's water bowl up I think it was pulling a trolley case with two laptops in on Friday that made it vulnerable if that makes sense?) which gives me more work stress <<sigh>>
What: going to try a short, easy run
Why: I need it for my sanity
Last hard: it's all hard at the minute
Last rest: 20/8

Headed to the Brecons for some training: Morning was a 'run' loop of Corn Du, Pen-y-Fan & Cribyn.
Weather was fine until you got above 600m then it was a combination of cloud, rain and howling winds.
Spent the afternoon with navigation/orienteering practice using map and compass over some of the less traveled fells. knee deep grass, swamp and plenty of clambering up and down. Visibility was less than 50m in places. Morning was around 8-9 miles, afternoon around 5. All in was about 3,500 feet of ascent.
Yesterday was 10 easy trail miles.
Lyrics: no
Sounds tough in the Brecons, Dustin!
Hope the back eases, LMH!
Keep on working on the core, WP.
Hope the legs are nicely tired today, Chick!
OH: badly phrased! I should have send mainland Scotland and beyond. Not sure of the itinerary.
What: not sure
Why: can't decide between run, run/walk/fitness suite. Will certainly do something.
Lyrics no
Poppy ((()))
How all doing?
Cleo is nagging I have to get in the pool
What 1.6 miles round the block
Why
Last hard this morning
Last rest 31/12/16
LMH: Sorry to read about your ongoing woes. Any chance your physio can work some magic?
Sleep is a good healer, poppy.
50m visibility in the mountains sounds pretty scary, Dustin. Glad you managed to come back down in one piece.
Ale: Enjoy whatever you end up doing.
Legs felt surprisingly bouncy this morning. Wasn't expecting this at all and had a lie in. Had I known how good I'd feel I would have dragged my tired butt out of bed earlier
What: 6 miles easy
Why: being sensible after yesterday
Last hard: those darn cobbles
Last rest: 21/6
Lyrics: no
Lyrics: Nope
What: Lunchtime bimble with colleagues and tkd tonight
Why: It's Monday
Last hard: parkrun Sat
Last Rest: Yesterday
Enjoy the sun Wabo.
Good news chicksta, shows you were running well within yourself at that pace, bodes well for the marathon. I'm hoping not to have to spend more money on physio only having been there last week but will try for a cancellation if it doesn't ease soon.
I would love to be able to do a crunchie at the moment Poppy - probably as much as you'd love to be able to run.
Enjoy whatever you decide on Alehouse.
Don't go breaking anyone today SC
Resting yesterday doesn't seem to have done anything for my back and it certainly didn't help my mood so I set off for a run this morning keeping it close to home in case I needed to walk back. The left leg is definitely still restricted and I can feel my back when running but it doesn't get any worse and eases off as long as I'm not running downhill and am careful on kerbs and cambers. Unfortunately it seems to cease up again as soon as I stop but I managed a comfortable though not fast MLR this morning.
back from Wales, parkrun went, so did the leg again at 2m.... more slow runs done with physio exercises, parkrun consists of my weelky long run at present.....
loosing the mojo and will at present as so frustrated.... back to the physio on Friday, may then consider going to docs as well as no improvement at present...
Take care all (Mr Grumpy)
Sorry to hear about the leg, RFJ. Sadly parkrun is my long at present as well.
What: 4k run plus lots of walking every couple of minutes
Why: if parkrun is my long run, that must be MLR. Managed to find a pleasant window of time between showers. Ibiza, and indeed Nottingham, sound rather sunnier than here. Grey at best for the majority of the time. Still and humid.
Poor you, RFJ. I can relate. Took me forever to get to the bottom of my issues. So frustrating. Hang in there!
It's all relative. A year ago I was still running zero ...
Pic from yesterday - happily leading a small group up one of those silly ramps
Sympathy RFJ. Which Welsh parkrun did you do?
Happy to report no one broken but slow11k in 1.05 or 9.38mm/6mk
Sorry to hear that things aren't improving RFJ.
No one broken is good and slow is the new fast SC.
Good to see you getting back to consistent running Alehouse - distance and speed will come.
Lol at the MLR Ale
Good pic Chick
Thanks all
While we're here
Last hard: most days just now
Last rest: pre holiday
Lyrics no
RFJ, sorry to hear you are still having issues, best of luck at the physio.
5 miles steady after work. Forgot how hard it is to run straight after work.
Lyrics, nope.
What: rest
Why: being sensible
Last hard: sleeping. OH got home from USA last night so jet lag kept him up last night
Lyrics: nope
Lmh and rfj sounds frustrating for both of you at the moment
Dustin sounds challenging
SC good to hear no one broken
Have a lovely evening all
Chicksta another great running photo
Currently looking at Jupiter, and Venus through binoculars. Amazing
Emzap sadly only 3 days but we're packing it in
