Tuesday 17th December 2019 - Woke up, the sun streaming in my room

Morning.

Lyrics - Woke up, the sun streaming in my room
           
Warm beach from palm December afternoon

I wish!

How long is it taking Erica each day OH?

I have antibiotics and an urgent referral to a more specialist dentist to extract the remains of the troublesome tooth (apparently the roots are the reason my dentist won't do it himself, some complication) though the appointment is likely to take weeks to come through. Hopefully the antib's will stop it hurting.

What:           hoping for a LSR
Why:            best opportunity this week though it's forecast to be cold and foggy
Last hard:    sleeping (had to take more painkillers in the early hours)
Last rest:     8/12

Yesterday's lyrics - Fairy Tale Of New York - The Pogues.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning All
    Hazel - I normally feel a little more sluggish the few days after donating, so tend not to push things deliberately. If I had a major race the Sunday following a donation then I may think twice, but usually I'm restored to the full quota by then anyway.
    Bob Graham - it wouldn't be for a record attempt. There are two strands: taking it "easier" over two days to delight & recce the route & terrain, and supporting one of my pals who had a go (failed) 2 years ago, and wants another crack at it (so support for a leg or two). Partly beer talking, partly we've been talking about for a while....

    What - club night, pyramids
    Why - on the schedule
    Last rest - October
    Last hard - Sunday

    Have a good day people

  • Morning..

    Sun would be nice and a beach but not too warm please LMH.  One of OH's beaches and a bracing walk would be nice? (And then a pub and a fire?)

    At least you have some sort of progress with the tooth already LMH but that doesn't sound nice. 

    How is Lucas today emzap?  Poor thing. (and poor you too - can't be easy on the nerves)

    Looks promising for December polar challenge OH.  Good luck to Erica.

    Did your delivery turn up at least Chicksta?

    What: group outing this evening + a bit on top
    Why: Tuesday
    Last hard: doing any work today so far - power down at our data centre apparently so thumb twiddling at the moment (or reading / writing forum)
    Last rest: yesterday

    Lyrics: think so
  • More laps
    Day 5 for Erica 
    May be slow today
    Last hard: last night's cold solo 5k loop
    Well at least it's dry here so far, lyrics no.

    Hope tooth doesn't cause you too much grief LMH.

    morning all
    LMH poor you!!! Hope you can manage your run
    OH what an achievement for Erica, slow is ok
    hazel enjoy the  group run
    dustin enjoy the pyramids

    What: something easy
    why: think I also need antibiotics, just not right
    last hard: yesterday am
    last rest: 31/12/16

    Cleo's show at her majesty's was just amazing, she has grown so much in the performance and now wants to do tap and jazz!!

    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Oops, Day 6 for Erica!
  • I like it hot Hazel  :) Enjoy the run with your group. Hope things are sorted work wise.

    These bugs seem to be lingering Wabo - MiL has been ill for more than a fortnight. Definitely on the mend now but still not right.

    It's needing a lot of painkillers to manage it OH but other than that it's not too bad thanks. You did well to get out for yoour evening loop having already run with Erica.

    That could be fun Dustin.

    Where's Alehouse today?
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    emzap I hope Lucas is better soon, its not nice when little ones are poorly 
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Good point regarding Alehouse.. Unusual for him not to post.

    Well done to Cleo Wabo - must have been lovely for you to watch.

    Still no work possible here.  Hope they are not expecting me to play catch up once things do get back online..  I do actually need to get some things done but never mind.  Customer might have to wait until after the Christmas break for it.
  • Afternoon!

    A bit late, for me, I know...forgot to press the "post comment" button at around 7:20 to say I don't know the lyrics. More importantly, need a Lucas update from Emz!

    Hope you are coping with the tooth, LMH (and it isn't too 2:30)!

    A pain work-wise, Hazel!

    That is a tough challenge, OH, not least on the track during an Orcadian winter.

    They sound like more sensible BGR plans, Dustin!

    And get well Wabo!

    What: 4 k d&d, just. May well have resembled an ice rink in parts earlier.
    Long stretch and strengthen later.

    Why: made the first batch of mince pies instead of running earlier; Tuesday...and it will be the last Tuesday stretch and strengthen until the new year due to facility closures on Christmas and New Year's Eves.
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • Sounds nasty, LMH.  Hope the ATBs work. I really wanted my troublesome tooth out to be rid of it once and for all but my dentist wouldn't have it and said we're going to try and save it first of all, especially as it's the furthest one back and has 4 roots, so like yours, would be complicated to get out and most likely have to be done by a surgeon. 

    Well done, Erica :+1:

    Annoying re. power outage, Hazel. Can't you go for a run ;) ?  Delivery came, thank god. 

    Bravo, Cleo. She sounds awesome. Would love to see a pic but I understand if you'd rather not. It's difficult with kid's pictures on social media channels these days. Too many weirdos out there.

    Careful on the ice, ale

    Bob Graham sounds like a superb adventure, Dustin

    What: 6 miles with a bit of MP and HMP in there
    Why: a bit short of time and fancied some leg turnover. 
    Last hard: work - 3 more days!!
    Last rest: 10/12
    Lyrics: no but I'd love to :)  Having said that it was a sunny day today and really warm at 13 degrees. It can stay that way through March if you ask me. Winter is much overrated. 
  • It was slippery here too Alehouse - the most it's been for me so far. I'm taking more painkillers than I'd like but other than that and not sleeping well I'm ok thanks.

    Hope you managed to make use of the time Hazel. You definitely shouldn't be expected to make the time up - it's their fault.

    Are you having a long xmas break chicksta? 13C sounds positively tropical.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Afternoon

    What: 3.5 km run, walk, walk possibly another walk
    Why: Christmas card delivery, coffee, catch up with friends, maybe carol's
    Last hard: yesterday, my back hurts today!
    Lyrics: nope

    So heating engineer has replaced pump so fingers crossed that is now fixed.

    Lucas seems better. Less unsettled anyway and slept a long time this afternoon so I got a lot done! Thanks for the thoughts :)

    Lmh that is a bit annoying but hope antibiotics knock it on the head for the moment.

    Wabo hope you're feeling better soon and well done Cleo. How old is she now?

    Chick, I know what you mean about photos, I have some I'd love to share but I also know this is an open forum...

    Have a lovely evening all

    cleo is 8, emzap.  Glad Lucas is on the mend
    chicksta, I dont mind let me see what one I have 
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Good news that Lucas is on the mend emzap and that the heating is fixed.

    It's a shame we live in a world that makes us feel the need to be so cautious (I understand totally) - once it's out there there;s no taking it back - and we could rib Lucas something terrible in a few years time:-)
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • A tough day for Erica but almost there for today.

    10.6 miles for me including 7 on track with Erica.
    440m in sea after dark.
    Badminton later
