Wednesday, 28th August 2019 - I'm gonna raise a fuss
Morning 
Today's lyrics: I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
I'm gonna raise a holler
Hot, hot, hot. Planning 8 or 9 easy miles. That'll have to do.
Dustin: Gawd 😱 That's one killer sesh. Hope you survived.
Dustin: Gawd 😱 That's one killer sesh. Hope you survived.
Glad everything is being checked thoroughly, em. Yours will be a proper thread baby 🙂
Sounds positive, ale.
Good to see you, OH.
RFJ: Running with no expectations can be quite liberating. At the end of the day times are just arbitrary.
My hydration is generally pretty good, LMH. Post-run nutrition could be better. But I don't think I'm underfuelled at the moment.
Think it was my blood pressure coupled with fatigue from high mileage. Feeling a bit better this morning 🤞

Yesterday's lyrics - Too Much Ain't Enough - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers.
Good to hear that you're feeling better this morning chicksta.
Running ten miles slowly is much better than not being able to run RFJ. Enjoying it is the important thing.
Hope the weather is good for your weekend exploits OH.
A return to winter here this morning, heavy rain forecast from 1200hrs, chilly and the wind is picking up over the next few days
What: hopefully a short MLR/maybe gym
Why: trying for a high mileage week/needs doing
Last hard: seeing Malteser reindeer in the shop yesterday!
Last rest: 27/7
Lyrics - no.
Looks rather dark outside and there may well be several downpours.
What: short run
Why: being careful with hamstring
Lyrics: of course! Appropriate, Chick!
Edit: now pouring...
Ale, Emz - all sounding positive and as LMH said, glad you're feeling better today.
LmH - take it easy. Maybe it's just me, but I find the warmer weather leaves me fatigued even without the running...Glad to see it a bit cooler today.
RFJ - you may surprise yourself, but good luck on Sunday
What - steady lunchtime, coaching village people tonight
Why - recovery, routine
last rest - 9 days
last hard - yesterday. 28 degrees when I got to training, couple of easy miles then into the session. As described: 5minutes, 5x1min, 5min, 5x1min, 5min
It's one of the hardest sets we do at the best of times, with the heat and humidity it was a matter of plugging away. Speeds a bit less than regular (no surprise) but did get a little further on each of the 5 minute sets which was pleasing. 8 miles at average 7:20 which includes the w/u & c/d
Legs gone awol today.
What: walking and hopefully out for curry
Why: I need to walk and it's our 10 year anniversary today
Last hard: getting home from my walk just now without getting covered in blood. For no apparent reason it started pouring out my lip when I was almost home. Guess I must have bitten it or something. Had to catch it in my hands!
Lyrics: vaguely familiar but no.
Hope you all stay dry.
Chick, I think he's a runner already
Have a lovely day all
emzap bound to be a runner and good that he wriggled at the right time! That sounds odd about your lip!! have a great day
dustin I do not blame your legs!!
CHick go for it, enjoy
alehouse, sounds very positive and good answers, enjoy today. BTW I will be second in my category this year at assembly league
LMH definitely reckon all those aches are from your fall, I was exactly the same the other weekend. Take it easy today
what: good long warm up (3.5 m) then the last 5k on the rides
why: I've done the other two!
Last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
I do not expect tonights to be as good as last week, in fact I expect it to be the slowest.....
Strange emzap - can you see a cut?
I hope you surprise yourself Wabo.
No rain here as yet Alehouse but we are forecast it.
Tired and achy walking Grace and feeling a bit nauseous. Very nearly talked myself out of a run 'maybe you've over done it, perhaps you've pushed too far, a rest day might be a good idea, does it really matter if you don't hit the miles this week' etc etc but I gave myself a bit of a talking to and got out of the door. It was a slow run but a nice morning if rather humid which always makes it feel like hard work. Long story short things felt better after a few miles and I managed a MLR which whilst slow had a good negative split. Now to not talk myself out of the gym............
Not run yet, LMH: not stopped pouring since I posted earlier. Forecast now says it will stop at 3 a.m. so will probably get a soaking this afternoon. Enjoy the gym!
Go well tonight, Wabo! Decent warm up!
I had a bit of a similar conversation with myself this morning. Whilst I felt better in general I was still struggling to run - everything felt so laboured. But I persevered, thinking of the time when I was unable to run and would have given anything to be out there, no matter what horrible pace. Strangely the legs woke up after 5 miles and I ran the second half a couple of mins quicker than the first
Go well tonight, wabo.
How bizarre, em.
Amazing workout, Dustin. I thought for a moment you were coaching the Village People
Did you get wet, ale? Fancy some extra centigrades maybe? Currently 32 here, happy to post at least half of that
What: 10 miles
Why: legs finally woke up
Last hard: getting going
Last rest: 11/8
What 4 miles/3.69 miles
Why: Double the fun day
Last hard Dragging myself out of bed
Lyrics nope
We had rain so got a double soaking but all good fun and a nice faster pace for second run 2.5 hours after finishing the first run.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Chest injury improvement maintained.
Lyrics - no
Enjoy/gym ???
Each to his or her own!
Short sharp tempo run (2.25m) 3 sec slower than last week, weather was foul...
Thanks for the comments, most welcome
Take care
