Morning.
Lyrics - Every little thing that you say or do
We're a diverse bunch so I decided not to go with Puff The Magic Dragon:-)
Nice to exceed expectations RFJ.
Last day of the nicer the weather today which of course I can't make the most of it. Did I ever mention that I don't like tapering? LOL. At least if the weather does turn bad I should find it easier not to run as much. Favourite distraction activity is baking - rhubarb and ginger cake today - good job it's nearly carb loading time:-) Mind you sleep is still not good and my throat is very sore but the latter is my jab being due I think. Roll on Thursday when my legs will also get a good going over by the sports massage terrorist - they really don't seem to react well to reduced mileage.
What: short and easy
Why: taper
Last hard: tapering in the lovely weather
Last rest: 27/1
Yesterday's lyrics - Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Was going to post about 6:10 but had to re-write my message. Still too early LMH!
Are you going to post a link to your fund-raising page?
Lyrics: no
What: short run, long Pilates
Why: Tuesday routine/ran long yesterday/back to work etc
Have woken up to bright blue skies for a few days but today it is grey here at present, although sunshine is promised. And rain promised for tomorrow pm.
A bit cooler here but still set to be another beauty. Shame I'm indoors for most of it...
What - club session (coaching) - final week of the marathon group so 2 mile easy, 2 mile at MP, 2 mile easy
Why - routine
Last rest - 10 days
last hard - Sunday
Lovely 10k through the fields/woods yesterday, bluebells almost in full flourish
Cooler and grey here Dustin - could you please try to hold on to some of that good stuff for Sunday?
Was "fun" getting the kids back to school. Many tired faces on the playground, including the Deputy Head.
I seem to have signed up for the Brighton half marathon next year in a post Easter haze 😂
LMH....yum to cake and poop to B12. My sister and mum suffer with that and it's not fun in the run up to the jab. My mum really suffers.
What....4 miles with a few "hills"
Why.. .first run back after marathon and many croissants and chocolate eggs
Last hard and rest....see above
Have a fab day all....washing and food shopping now!
Easy breezy 6 in the sun.
Picking up miles
Last hard: picking up speed
Last rest: Wednesday
Lyrics no
Good racing again, RFJ. You must be pleased.
OH: not much speed here either
LMH: I avoid the gym in the week leading up to a race too. So easy to tear or overstretch something and one missed session won't make any difference to your strength. And isn't it always the same with the weather? When you're in peak training it's shite. As soon as you don't have to run as much it's perfect. Sod's law I reckon.
Daisy: Hope the kids settled in OK after the break.
Hazel: Do you have another race lined up? I still have some unfinished business with Vienna and the relay faff which cost me my sub 1:40
Dustin: I forgot but are you running London too or just coaching VLM participants?
Donaldo: wot LMH said. Be careful with streaks, especially as you're still not over your injury … big picture and all that.
What: 9 miles with a few strides
Why: legs decided
Last hard: legging it to parkrun
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics: yes
It was chaos.
So good to get out tonight for a 6 mile escape.
Lyrics, yes!
