    Morning.

    Lucas not sleeping so well emzap? Glad you enjoyed the walk but yes, you probably need to pace yourself.

    Race well Poppy and OH.

    We are forecast a very wet day, there may be a dry window for a short run or my new jacket may get an outing, timing will work around our friend's departure.

    What:          short and probably wet
    Why:           drastic change in the weather
    Last hard:   finding last year's running form
    Last rest:    27/7

    Lyrics - yes.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning and yes to lyrics :)

    Take it easy, em. It's only been a week and feeding drains you.

    Give me a shout when you find your running form, LMH. I reckon mine must be hiding in the same place ;)

    Go well, racers.

    Another couple of easy miles here. Still beautiful and a warm day is forecast.

    You're tapering chicksta - always feels awful for a few days, you'll be flying towards the end of the week.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Lyrics were the song that came on the desert island dics that I was listening to whilst feeding Lucas!

    I think I got up to feed him twice last night lmh though he doesn't wake himself up when he's hungry so we need to wake up then wake him up, which is a challenge!

    Will take it a bit easier today which given the weather shouldn't be too hard!

    Good luck for your 10 km oh. Do you have to travel far for it?

    Lmh how are you feeling this morning?

    Wabo if you feel happier for it, then it's definitely the right decision.

    Ale how's the hammy at the moment?

    Have a lovely day all

    Morning

    Good luck OH  may the wind be behind you :)

    LMH:Youwill have to let us know how road testing of new jacket goes :)

    Em: Pacing is everything:-)

    Chick: Taper madness foryou then...LOL

    What Swansea 10k
    Why: Not sure to test my level of pain
    Last hard: I think today
    Lyrics : Yes

    We have an opening in the awful rain and wind for start of race so fingers crossed it stays dry and wind free :)
    ALF: Always a little further

    Morning!

    Good luck OH and WP! Hope the weather isn't too awful.

    I imagine the walks must be nice after the days in the hospital emzap.

    Certainly sounds like tapering Chicksta.

    Hope you have had a nice weekend with your friend LMH.

    Good you have made your decision regarding Snowdon Wabo.

    Nice barbecue Ale?

    What: progressive LR
    Why: plan
    Last hard: deciding how progressive that will be
    Last rest 16.09

    Lyrics: the usual no

    How come Lucas doesn't wake when he wants a feed emzap? Excuse my ignorance - it's been many years since I babysat and I've none of my own. Weather suits my mood this morning - I got a soaking on my walk and was just about to set off for my run when the heavens opened again so I'm delaying it in the hope it will go through and I can at least set off in the dry.

    Too warm for the jacket WP. Hope you get your weather window.

    I'd say easy as an easy thing at the start Hazel and see how you feel - but then I'm not as disciplined as you.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning!

    Lyrics: yes

    Very wet here today, which is a major change from yesterday's BBQ weather. BBQ was good!

    Go well, racers: looking forward to the reports!

    What: fitness suite

    Why: should be dry in there. Need more work on glutes etc. Hamstring is improving but am a little anxious about running yet, which suggests it is not quite ready.


    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Lmh apparently if they're not ready to come out like Lucas, they don't realise they need to wake up! You only learn this when they start losing weight, even when you are feeding them every time they wake!

    Trying to get Lucas into rugby, but so far he's not liking Scotland Vs Ireland and has gone very red in the face!

    Better to err on the side of caution Alehouse.

    Thanks for that emzap - you live and learn. I guess it at least means that you can set the schedule.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Thanks all 
    Dounby 10k (55:59) pretty windy and out into it but tail wind for last 4k. Happy enough and enjoyed it.
    Why: it would be rude not to
    Last hard: Thursday
    Last "rest" yesterday.
    Lyrics - a rare yes!

    Hope weather was reasonably kind to you Poppy

    Well done on your respective windy 10ks Poppy and OH.

    Get well soon, RFJ.

    That's interesting information about baby feeding, em. I also had no idea.

    Hope your progression run went well, Hazel.

    I wish it were taper related, LMH but all my runs were slower than last year apart from a few interval and tempo runs. MP simply isn't what I got last year or if I try to run at the same pace my HR is a good couple of beats higher.
    I need a serious miracle next Sunday to run a 3:3x.

    Luckily I only need to break 5 hours as Two Oceans qualifier. Even though my confidence is at an all time low I'm pretty sure that's doable ;)

    You're so patient, ale.

    Well raced OH and Poppy.

    Sorry to hear that you're now ill RFJ.

    I'm in the same position chicksta and have been all year. You will find something on the day though I'm sure.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Afternoon!

    Well done, OH!

    Sorry to hear you are not well, RFJ! Get well quickly!

    WP: that is a massive improvement compared to your last couple of 10ks! About half a minute a mile! Well done! Shows the training has worked! What's next? I would suggest a couple of easy days and then find another race or two, or perhaps a parkrun.

    Chick: you have done the training and by next weekend I am sure you will feel fresher and be on pace.

    Alehouse: Ah but all the 10'ks this year have been hot and hilly.So this is really first chance to test myself and see where I was with training.
    Next 4 weeks time Great South Run I shall continue doing what I am doing although need to up the miles from 8 miles to 10+ miles.I will continue going to Aberafan for my flat double days.
    I also want to run Richard Burton 10k Nov 3rd which will be hilly and that will be it till Boxing day  Glyneath 5 miler.
    ALF: Always a little further
