Morning.
Lyrics -
I don't want to let another minute get by
Excellent PB Hazel. I agree with Alehouse, doesn't sound like the fastest of courses so there could be more to come! Lyrics are for you older and faster is the way to go. Hope everything feels ok this morning. Don't worry if lyrics have been used int he past, there can't be many mainstream ones that haven't, we just try not to repeat them too soon but my memory often fails me.
Safe journey OH.
Another nice morning here, I slept through the night (very unusual this year), my legs feel the best they have on getting up since London and no work today (this is good and bad). Apart from collecting MiL from the train station at lunchtime the day is mine - so what to do with it................
What: easy miles, possibly enough to count as a MLR
Why: see above
Last hard: knowing what to do for the best
Last rest: 4/5
Yesterday's lyrics - Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
Comments
Well done hazel, sounds like a great day.
Oh glad you had a fun week
What: club tonight ie a slow run/walk, maybe just a walk
Why: it's what I do
Last hard: yesterday! The baby shipping was very successful but kitchen less do. Did go for 4km walk in the afternoon though
Lyrics: nope
Have a lovely day all
Hazel - awesome time , well done!
OH - that course looks stunning. We did talk about the Cape Wrath marathon earlier this year as a trip for my club.
RFJ - Lovely throwback photo!
What - Vets league tonight, options are 800, 3k and triple although I note we are a missing a pole vaulter (shuffles feet, doesn't make eye contact). Legs feel hammered still though so I don't expect to be breaking any records.
Why - fixture list
last rest - 2 weeks?
last hard - Saturday I guess. 12.5 miles on trail, super muggy but light drizzle. Yesterday was Southern Athletics League, managed to sneak the win away at Hemel Hempstead. I was on timekeeping duties so managed to dodge both the flat 3k and the 3k 'chase. The former won in a new track record (Apparently) of 8:17ish. 3 miles easy when I got home.
Lyrics: no
Hide, Dustin! And go well in the events that you want to do!
What: catch a bus
Why: so I can run back. Around an hour.
Enjoy your run Alehouse, hope your weather is as good as ours.
Definitely older and slower for me!
(but full challenge completed)
Recovery 5k planned this evening.
More mundane matters first.
Lyrics no.
Well done Hazel!
OH Glad you are back safe and sound and well done on all the challenges.
Dustin: Blimey I agree I would hide tonight if you can
Alehouse: Enjoy the bus journey;-)
LMH: Enjoy your legs and weather today bet it is a long one;-)
What: 7.15 miles
Why: Because I could
Last hard: Tiredness
Lyrics: Nope
A good run this morning:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I volunteered at Hackney Half yesterday, was offered a place the day before and think I would have been less tired if I ran it!! Shattered I was, long day on your feet handing out sweets, shouting looking to the right!
WP nice miles!
OH that is amazing to do that whole challenge, well done you!
dustin enjoy the vets league and keep looking at your feet.....
emzap enjoy t he club night
lmh, enjoy the easy miles
what: 1 mile so far, see what happens later
why: eye thing being done this afternoon
last hard: this morning
last rest: 31/12/16
Hope the eye thing goes well, Wabo! I know how you feel after your volunteering stint! Officially I was supposed to be on the entrance to the Etihad grounds with a megaphone in one hand and pointing to the left with the other repeatedly saying "Welcome to the Etihad! Mind the speed bumps": I couldn't bring myself to say the first bit! Surprised I wasn't saying, "MInd the speed bumps," in my sleep.
And yes, well done on completing the full challenge, OH!
What: 70 minutes, mainly off road
Why: long run. Ran 1.9k down the bus route before getting on (didn't want to be a twirly) then ran back by a slightly different route to last time. (A "twirly" is someone who is too early to use their bus pass. Has to be after 9.30.)
Hope it goes well this afternoon Wabo.
It was never going to be another long run today Poppy but I did do a MLR.
I knew what a twirly was Alehouse Did you enjoy your run?
Sorry to hear the kitchen shopping didn't go so well emzap. Enjoy club night.
Only an MLR, LMH: you are still clocking up the miles though. Big week this week then cut back? And yes, enjoyed the run. Still in tracksters and a jacket and that was about right this morning with the breeze largely against.
Hope you are taking it easy, Emz!
Off to watch some cricket. Will take gloves and a hat!
And don't worry, I'm taking it easy!
Nice here too emzap.
Really struggled this evening so going to see whether I should take the decision to stop running. I've suddenly got a lot bigger so I may readjust, we'll see and I will be sensible and listen to my body.
Lmh hope you get another good night's sleep.
Sadly nearly 2h faster than this year :’(
However I did enjoy it all!
