Friday 26th July 2019 Many a tear has to fall
Morning!
Early start: can't sleep as can't cool down after yesterday evening's race. Currently pouring and I may and go outside and stand in it! I guess the weather on race day is always part of the game and we just have to do our best come what may.
Lyrics: Many a tear has to fall.
What: probably a short run
Why: recovery run. Legs don't feel as if they have run hard at the moment, and time-wise they didn't
A cooler day in prospect, here at least.

Yesterday's lyrics - Hot In The City - Billy Idol.
Alehouse - that sounds like a good result in the circumstances.
Hope you managed to get some sleep emzap. I'm not sure having the windows open made much difference here temperature wise.
21 and less humid sounds better chicksta - same temperature here but 80% humidity currently and not dropping below 60% until late afternoon.
Sorry you weren't able to get your run in maccazz - can you run before work?
It was a hot night here too - and no rain as yet, we were forecast it for later today but it's gone back to tonight now. Hot and humid this morning but dull. I feel as though I've been run over by a truck (after physio's ministrations yesterday) so not sure how my legs will feel this morning when I ask them to run. It's been a big week already but I'd like another MLR or at least double digits, I'll play it by ear though.
What: easy miles
Why: battered
Last hard: keeping Grace cool yesterday
Last rest: 14/6
Lyrics - yes.
Party went on until past midnight. In the end I decided it was no hotter to sleep with the windows shut so got a wet towel and put it over me. Seemed to cool me down a bit!
What: a walk, then brunch then day trip to Worcester
Why: day off work and dad's still here so we are having a father/daughter day out
Last hard: sleeping. I'm surprised no one complained to the children earlier... And sad that the rain only stopped play for 5 min!
Lyrics: nope
Have a lovely day all. A nap may be in store for this afternoon!
WP - Yippeeeeeeee! that is wonderful news
Ale - well done, did you 'podium'?
Hope people managed to get some kind of sleep in last night. Despite yesterday supposedly being the warmest day, training wise it was the coolest (all being relative) of the week.
What - steady lunchtime
Why - box ticking
last rest - last Tuesday
last hard - Tuesday (and sleeping)
Once I get off to sleep I'm usually OK, just wake up in a pool of sweat. Sat having breakfast in the garden at 5:10 this morning in just my underpants. Good job the neighbours weren't up...
Thank you for all your lovely comments
Ale: Well done on last night's race especially in the heat!
Dustin: Ooh I bet that cooled you down
Em : Enjoy day out with Dad.
What: 4 miles
Why: Short 2 day taper
Last hard: The heat and sleeping think I got 3 hours!
Lyrics Yes
We had some drizzle over night but still 20 degrees at 5am but I think we just have 22 as a high today thank goodness.In the cooler weather I maybe sleeping a lot
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
oops shouty
Poppy I think I melted on my bed last night!! Enjoy the 4 miles, what race are you doing?
Dustin lol that's funny about breakfast! Enjoy the lunch run. My work mate said he was so hot he got up and laid on the bathroom floor, his wife woke wondered where he was and all she could see was his feet hanging out the bathroom door!! Screamed!!
emzap have a love day with dad
hazel bet you enjoyed your run after being indoors
lmh we did get rain, my daughter laughed cos I ran in the garden shouting whoopee!! Soaked. Have a good run
alehouse sounds like you had a good run, I better read back!
What: couple later
why: 10 miler tomorrow
last hard yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good weekend all
alehouse, nice one!
That's what you think Dustin............LOL.
Have a nice day out with your dad emzap.
Sounds as though things are cooling down for you Poppy.
Nice early session Hazel. Cooler today and Grace seems to be coping much better. I guess her advancing years aren't helping.
My legs eased off during Grace's walk and I had a lovely run, no real reason why, it wasn't fast or anything I just really enjoyed being out and managed a couple of miles more than yesterday and slightly faster too. My legs definitely seem to respond best to lots of easy miles.
Amazing win for England in the cricket! Did you listen, Emz (or anyone else)?
What: short and easy recovery run (although the legs felt liked they had not raced yesterday)
Why: being sensible. Wasn't until lunchtime that I seemed to cool down despite three showers since the race! Off to T20 cricket shortly at Old Trafford: no doubt there will be showers of another sort!
Edit: no podium, just first in each give year age category.
Alehouse - well done on your run!
LMH - hope you feel better tomorrow
Lyrics: no
What: 5 miles after work. Fastest five miles I've ever run outside a race, despite the humidity, so I was quite pleased with that.
Why: making up for all the extra rest this week
signing off for a week on holiday, might get on , but not promising.
Fuelled with curry and fermented apple juice (birthday meal) 1+ half a century
Take care
Cricket was curtailed by rain, but a
Duckworth Lewis Stern calculation the home side won. Great name for a band!
Glad you got out Maccazz!
