Morning!

Lyrics: A well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?

What: will see how the legs are this evening, but hopefully something quicker before the fitness suite

Why: need for speed

Lyrics are for RFJ (hope you are ok) and possibly Wabo!

Hopefully I'll get  a little more sleep before the alarm goes for work!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning

    What: probably a walk but see how calf is
    Why: woke up in the night with bad calf cramp. I've had it the past few nights but been able to get rid of it. Last night it wouldn't go and had to get oh to stretch my leg out! Is very sore this morning 
    Last hard: see above
    Lyrics: nope

    Ale we have a sink but that's it! No food prep area as contents of kitchen, utility and garage in the rest of the house (so no space!)! We are doing surprisingly well though. Managing to eat healthily despite the chaos!

    Ouch rfj, be careful! How are you feeling this morning?

    Lmh glad legs are feeling better.

    Was dreaming of running last night. I'm missing it quite a lot!  I know there are more important things at the moment though :)

    Have a lovely day all.

    RFJ -ouchy, hope you're not too bad this morning
    Emz - It will be worth it in the end....
    Ale - good win for your mob yesterday!
    Wabo - well done on the Elvis. I do like Viccy Park, a world away from Canary Wharf..
    LmH - I meant track session rather than track racing! No events entered now but aim to do some shorter stuff, at least until the Autumn.

    What - coaching the ankle biters
    Why - Thursday, easy day
    last rest - Monday
    last hard - Tuesday

    Well done Wabo!

    Ouch RFJ, hope you don't ache too much today.

    Hope you feel better today emzap and the calf eases.

    Did you get some more sleep Ale?

    Enjoy the coaching Dustin.

    Ditto the short and easy LMH.

    What: test run of next week's hill race (12k / +800m)
    Why: need some uphill training and am hoping it will make it feel easier on race day. Bank holiday today.
    Last rest: 15.06

    Ah, I thought there was another league meeting Dustin.

    More bananas and water required emzap? Hope it feels better today.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Bank holiday is just for the cantons/states with a catholic majority LMH (at least in Switzerland and Germany). Berne is a protestant canton but my office is in Stuttgart in a catholic bit of Germany so I'm lucky there.

    Hill run went ok - 1:41 for the 12k. I've raced it some 15 mins faster but I was carrying a rucksack (for much needed water) in awful humidity today and it was  training run after all.  Quick coffee stop at the hill restaurant then down again on a much shorter route - 5.6 km.  Most of that wasn't runnable for me - steep, roots, rocks - some rather slimy and I didn't want to kill my quads so I mostly quick walked it. Was lucky with the weather, impressive looking downpour and probably thunderstorm just a few miles up the ridge on another route I had considered.  As it was I stayed dry.

    Sorry enough rambling..

    Do you live in Switzerland and work in Germany then Hazel or do you work remotely? Sounds like a good workout and nice way to spend the Bank Holiday.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Looks like posting today works better.

    Same Bank Holiday here, Hazel. Our Munich and Düsseldorf offices are closed. Sadly Hamburg is protestant. Hill run sounds good.

    Similar weather here, poppy. That humidity is killing me.

    With you on finding it hard to get up, LMH.

    It's there anything you can take to alleviate cramp, em? Like magnesium? Or is that a no-go when pregnant?

    What: a few easy miles and upper body work in my lunch break
    Why: tired
    Last hard: yesterday
    Last rest: 25/5
    Lyrics: yes
