Morning.

Lyrics - Please don't get me started

September already! I do hope that we get a bit of an Indian summer, the weekend is forecast to be nice though not exactly hot.

Enjoy parkrun those participating.

Race well racers.

What:           short and easy
Why:            Saturday/should be easing back a bit I guess
Last hard:    not worrying about the things I can't change
Last rest:      19/8

Yesterday's lyrics - No Regrets by The Walker Brothers.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning

    Forgot to post on Thursday, did 12 km, felt quite good.

    What: run a longer route to parkrun, parkrun then run home all in time to catch the train to visit relatives for lunch
    Why: I'm currently asking myself the same thing, but it's the last long run before 8.5 parkruns next weekend and the marathon in October
    Last hard: think this may be, let's see!
    Lyrics: nope

    LMH sounds like you've made a good decision there :)  Work stress is only doable for a limited time, then it's time to make decisions.
    Ale I like that A, B, C trick :)  May try it on my run, would work well per km!

    Have a lovely day all.

    I forgot to post yesterday but nothing much to report just hand weights and  no knitting:-)

    Happy September Yay:-)

    What: 15 reps x3 sets  hand weights
    Why: because I can

    Last hard: Foot and sleeping
    Lyrics : yes

    Pretty tired as I had limited sleep for 2 nights but such is life but I love September and boot off in 24 days.
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    Sounds a tough day running-wise, Emz! Enjoy lunch!

    What: Burnage parkrun

    Why: my ex uni friend from Kuala Lumpur wanted to do his first parkrun. Although a couple of years older than I am he's a lot fitter; we ran the first k together and then he disappeared into the distance. I struggled a bit today for no particular reason, finishing in around 26:35. At least the Achilles and calf behaved, and hopefully they will be ok later and tomorrow. Off for a meal with him and his wife later, and no doubt he will want to sample a few local ales. 
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Think I did about 26km in the end but a lot of unrelenting hills!  I think about 500m elevation in total I think.  Parkrun was around 27:40ish.

    How's the scarf Poppy/

    Hi everyone, sorry for not posting during the week, work has been full on, I've had a cold and I only managed 2 short runs.

    Back on the horse today though with a very even paced 16 mile run (7:53 pace with my slowest mile being 7:58).  Hoped for a 20/20 weekend but legs a little out of sorts.  Was on call as well and got bored of all the loops staying close.  

    Lyrics, nope!

    Work stresses. Shetland been back in touch about doing obstetric sessions there. However it would mean being on-call 24/7 away from home for periods of 2 weeks possibly more. Thinking not ...

    Is that Facebook, OH? Not my best photo and time I lost some weight! The guy in the Watford football shirt is my M68 squash playing friend who never runs except parkrun and finished ahead of my KL friend! Usually around 23 at Burnage, 22 at South Manchester.

    Great parkrunning, SC!

    And good to see you, Don! Hope work settles and you can get more 16 or milers in.

    That can't be Alehouse - he's not wearing nearly enough clothes  :)

    Glad you're feeling better Donaldo - take it easy though with having been ill.

    Hope you enjoyed the fresh air Dustin.

    Sounds a bit full on for a retiree OH. Enjoy Caithness tomorrow.

    Nice WAVA SC - makes the rest day worth the stress.

    Hope you had a good lunch emzap.

    Counting down not up now Poppy - hopefully well on the way to resuming running.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
