Thursday 22nd August 2019 Let's keep it wheelin', say how you feelin'
Morning!
Lyrics: Let's keep it wheelin', say how you feelin'
Like you got the whole world behind you
Hope you had a good 'un, Hazel!
Did you get to the race, Wabo?
What: short run/fitness suite
Why: Thursday
Asthma clinic this morning! Seem to be having one appointment after another!
Weather forecast for today was originally quite good and the sun was going to shine. Now it appears to be grey with showers; hopefully the shining will take place over the bank holiday weekend!
It stayed dry for my run yesterday and even managed to mow the lawns (or should I say, "plough" the lawns) but then the afternoon was shower after shower again.

Yesterday's lyrics - She Goes On - Crowded House.
It's very grey here at the minute Alehouse and the Met are threatening rain. I'm really hoping that it brightens and warms up. I need to book an asthma review too, will try to remember whilst I'm at the doctors having my jab this afternoon.
Tired this morning and I can feel my shoulder a bit more again after yesterday's paltry efforts in the gym. It's been a good week mileage wise so far so I think an easier day is probably a good idea/called for.
What: probably a short and easy
Why: it's the sensible thing to do
Last hard: dragging myself out of bed despite waking at 0400hrs
Last rest: 27/7
Lyrics - no.
LmH - sensible call
Bright and sunny here - supposed to be that way all weekend!
What - U11 coaching so easy run
Why - legs need a recovery
Didn't get out lunchtime yesterday (work stopped play), so did 5 miles steady before coaching. That may not have been the best idea: I was trying a new set that required groups of 4. 19 runners attended so either 3 lots of 5 and a 4 or I join in....3x300 and 2 sets of 9x100 later....
last rest - Monday
last hard - yesterday
lyric - nope
And yes, I think you need an easier day, LMH! A lot of miles lately and we don't want you to break!
yes I did the race and the longer warm up /cool down thing again. I raced well, felt strong but I do not know my time as I started my garmin about half mile in when I heard the watch beeping and shutting down!!! I must have stopped it as I started the race(after the warm up?). Cleo and jodie had another awful night but at least little one spent all afternoon with me and it was lovely! I will update my time when I know, hoping a bit quicker than last week, it felt good! I do know my overall pace for what I did clock was faster.
Dustin enjoy your coaching, sounds like yesterday was tough!
Hazel great racing!! Well done
LMH sounds like an easy one will do you good
alehouse hope the appointment goes well, enjoy the short and fitness
what: possibly only a short run
why: OH dad in hospital now so he will need me later for sure
last hard: laying awake half the night worrying
last rest: 31/12/16
Doesn't rain but it pours, i am all good though.
Good result Hazel.
Sounds like a tough evening Dustin.
Alehouse - although it took five miles before my legs joined the party this morning nothing hurt and I was enjoying being out and getting faster as I went so it was tempting to add a couple of bonus miles - but I didn't.
Wabo: well done on race time:-)
I was not well yesterday it seems 2 days fine one day not at the moment so going with the flow.
What 4 miles from home/3.25 miles@Aberafan
Why because I could
Last hard: Yesterday
Lyrics:Nope which is unusual with Ale setting them.
First double in a year mind you only 2.5 hours between them and had not eaten enough bigger bowl of porridge next time.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Well done Hazel! 45 mins is a great time for a 10k, even better if it's 10.5
Almost a minute off, wabo. Fantastic. Sorry to hear about further family ailments.
Oops, Dustin - better planning next time
Nice double, Poppy. I usually can't be bothered to go out twice per day. I have a few double days in the schedule but either did the miles in one go or just a short recovery run, depending on how the legs felt.
Sensible, LMH.
Everything ok asthma-wise, ale?
What: Third longish run in a row for me (ran into work)
Why: seem to have beaten my legs into submission eventually as I started super slow but ended up with a decent average and feeling like I could have done more. That's my LSR out of the way early this week then but as it's going to be hot and horrible this weekend it was probably not a bad decision. Gorgeous morning - still and cool, slight morning fog made for some beautiful scenery as I watched the sun come up.
Last hard: Tuesday's intervals
Last rest: 11/8
Lyrics: no
Well raced, Wabo! And the before and after miles!
Sensible, LMH!
You have banked some decent training there, Chick!
Asthma clinic was pretty routine...just like the weather: it has rained for a fair amount of the day. Again!
re the lyrics, there was a clue, and unusually for me the song in question is not at all old!
Rest day yesterday as went to watch the football... worth it :-)
Intervals tonight and found it hard but good
Take care all
What: about 6km walked
Why: went into Birmingham for book club so walked to and from station at each end plus a bit more
Last hard: that journey was harder than last month!
Lyrics: no, unusual for when ale sets them
Finally builder came and finished last bits of kitchen and inspector cane and signed off!!!
Well done wabo and hazel. Great racing
Sensible lmh
That sounds tough Dustin
Have a lovely evening all. Day off tomorrow so 4 day weekend
