Morning!
Lyrics: Sure it's like a morn in spring,
In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing
Happy birthday Wabo! And happy St. Patrick's Day!
Go well racers!
Happy with yesterday, Gobi?
What: a run of some description
Why: probably cough dependent...at least it has given me the chance to start the thread early!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Yesterday's lyrics - Riders On The Storm by The Doors.
Happy Birthday Wabo!
Cold and wet but not as windy as it has been here chicksta. Hope you manage to enjoy your race.
Hope you got some more sleep Alehouse - it's about time that cough did one.
I know Dustin is also racing - anyone else? Hope you have a good one.
What: hopefully a MLR
Why: I'd like some miles this week but have a guest
Last hard: last week wasn't easy
Last rest: 27/1
Lyrics - don't believe I do.
What : mtb social ride
Why : sore after yesterdays race
Last hard : yesterday was brutal
Last rest : 31st October
Lyrics : no
Sunny here. Hope it stays as planning a walk to pub for lunch!
What: walk
Why: keeping active. On the plus can now do 1 legged calf raises on bad so it is definitely improving
Last hard: staying awake. Waiting for this mysterious 2nd trimester energy surge!
Lyrics: nope
Ale good that x-rays are clear but sorry to hear cough is still keeping you up.
Go Go chick and Dustin
Have a lovely day all
Managed some more sleep.
Wise decision Gobi: long term is more important
What: 15 mins theoretically easy
Why: look at the state of the Mersey.
Re lyrics, they are the second part of the first line, with the first part being the title.
Very windy here and had all sorts of weather, including sleet. Sunny now, and hope it will last.
sounds wise Chick, but a good run none the less
Wise move Gobi
just over the hour for me and 7m
3 days at work now before holiday to Cyprus
Take care
Well done Chick.
Bed for me soon (no energy surge today then!).
Gobi - wise choice,
Chick - sounds like that was the right decision in the circumstances
What - Fleet Half Marathon
Why - It's just down the road (and much better than Reading!)
last rest - Friday
Last hard - must be today
A bright but blustery day, but much improved on the weather we've had all week.
Training being going OK, but I knew I'm behind where I want to be (speed wise) scuppered by that knee problem at the tail end of last year. That and not 'feeling the love' for marathon running this year.
That said, a race is a race and this is one of my favourite half Ms, loop of the town then out onto country lanes.
Started off somewhere between the 1h30 & 1h40 pacers and first mile too quick (just over 7), but then got into a rhythm of 7:10-7:20. Even when I thought I was tiring it popped up as 7:1x
Got past 11 and was beginning to feel it but managed to hold some semblance of pace and crossed the line for a chip of 1:35:26
Happy enough with that - I knew I was a long way off 90 minute fitness but still not too bad a time.
Couple of miles recovery, 4 weeks to the marathon...
Making best of day.
last hard: staying upright on Marwick Head (wind probably 60mph gusts)
last rest: Tuesday
lyrics no
well done Dustin
enjoy a pint of Guinness everyone
Marstons, OH! And thought you would know the lyrics!
Well done to both Chick and Dustin!
And am not sure that is my idea of taking it easy, Emz!
