Wednesday, 22 August 2018 - Deep in the bosom of the gentle night

Morning!

Hope normality is restored, LMH.

Good news, em

Lyrics today: Deep in the bosom of the gentle night

Yesterday's were Dune, I can't stop raving

Sleep is elusive once more. I should probably do something short today but maybe I can get away with a 9 or 10 miler :)

    Morning.

    If anything back feels a little better for yesterday's long run - obviously I respond better to being beaten into submission. I hope I can get out of the car after my long drive today. Work stress may be partially resolved - looks as though I'm going to be leaving, not the solution I wanted and will bring it's own issues obviously but health and wellbeing are more important than money - to a point.

    What did your legs decide in the end chicksta?

    What:           short and easy/work/travel
    Why:            sanity/necessity/conference tomorrow
    Last hard:    resolving work situation/bending/worrying about my speech
    Last rest:     19/8

    Lyrics - no.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    Another grey day here although yesterday was very much a day of two halves with a wet morning and a bright and sunny afternoon. Today's forecast is grey then wet, unfortunately.

    Interesting times, LMH!

    What: hopefully some sort of run/walk

    Why: need to balance the return to running with various niggles. Left knee not entirely happy after yesterday's Pilates. 

    Doubt it will rain in Nottingham from 11 for the rest of the day, Emz. And 8.5 parkruns sounds a lot! At the moment one is enough!

    OH: my uni friends will be running Bressay on Saturday I suspect.
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Ohh sounds interesting times ahead LmH
    The follow on question now then is what is a bicycle crunchie?

    What - steady run lunchtime
    Why - recovery
    Last Rest - 8 days
    last hard - Yesterday: pyramid of 200,400,600,800, 1k, 800, 600, 400, 200 all with 200 easy between. Hot, muggy and humid. Few miles w/u & c/d too.
    lyric - familiar (I think)

    Oh dear, LMH. Hope it's a change for the better. No point in staying if it makes you unhappy.

    Enjoy your recovery run, Dustin.

    Hope you can keep the niggles at bay, ale.

    You'll have a monster sixpack in 34 days, poppy!

    What: 9 miles done - gorgeous morning, cool and sunny B)
    Why: because I could
    Last hard: reigning it in - I could run all day at the moment but I'm at this crucial stage where being silly leads to injury
    Last rest: 21/6

    Morning again!

    I wish I could run all day at the moment, Chick! I vaguely remember the feeling!

    What: 15 minutes with some walk breaks

    Why: had to get back for Popmaster. And at the crucial stage where being silly leads to injury.

    Ale you made me laugh.  Popmaster!

    What: walk to town for eye tests and then gardening before the rain
    Why: trying to get the house in shape for visitors at the weekend
    Last hard: having air puffed in my eyes!  Made me jump a mile!
    Lyrics: nope

    Slightly sore from yesterday's pummeling but I hear it's good for me!

    LMH good news about the back.  Not so good about the job.  Hope it sorts itself out in whatever is the best outcome for you.

    WP sitting there eating all those chocolate bars :tongue:
    OH great pyramid session

    Have a great evening all

    Everything stops for Popmaster, EMZ! Ask Benjy!
    I had air in my eyes on Saturday at the opticians and as I keep being borderline with the scores I get it every six months! Lovely!

    LMH, always do what is right for you, brave choice.

    5 miles on Monday, completed club session last night, 6 x 3 mins on, 2 mins recovery.  4 easy tonight.

    Legs needing a wee rest so having a lighter week.
