Poppy brilliant running wow
Hope 2020 is a good year for everyone.
That's a late night Wabo - were you partying?
Did Lucas sleep better now you're home emzap?
We are forecast another good weather day which is nice as I can get out for a short run, length to be determined mostly by how my knee feels.
What: easy run/taking MiL out for lunch
Why: physio's orders/first NYD with FiL not really with us
Last hard: not running for over a week
Last rest: last year
Lyrics - no.
Lyrics: no
Hope 2020 is a good year for all!
What: easy parkrun plus a couple of Kms.
Why: running in company. Not tempted to do a parkrun double though, which many will be.
Enjoy yours!
Wonder how LMH got on with her test run...
What: parkrun plus a few kms
Why: was up reasonably early and it promised to be a particularly pleasant morning so decided to go to Delamere parkrun. This must be one of the most attractive courses and we got glimpses of the sun rising over the lake; too busy concentrating to see much else, of course! Another run where my strength on hills was obvious, not least one near the start and another at exactly 4k, although they were no doubt flat in WP's book. Obviously something to work on in 2020! Ran reasonably and progressively: only a handful passed after the first 5 or 600 metres whilst I took far more. Have run this twice before, and both times conservatively as was recovering from injury; probably a course pb, therefore. Around 24:30.
Ale: So that is us both working on hill work this year .
My goal is to try to include more hills looking at my 10 mile route 200m climbing so I am thinking instead of running easier route home after Singleton Park go back the way I came and see how much elevation that gives me.
What: Recovery run 4 miles
Why: Legs achy
Last hard Yesterday's monster hills
Lyrics Nope
Legs did not like any inclines and I choose a flatter route about 70m climbing.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: pitchcroft parkrun this morning plus a km before
Why: it was the closest one and it had dried out (was underwater last week!)
Last hard: I pushed for bits of that but it was so busy we kept getting stuck. Lovely social run though
Lyrics: no
Lmh what a pain about the knee.
Thoughts to you wabo and family and lmh and Mark.
Ale great running
Chick you too, a fantastic time in icy conditions, and what a great gift!!!
WP great 10 miler too.
I need to have a think about my running goals this year. I feel I am at a point I can start to make them, though they will be less ambitious than previous years as I put my body through a lot last year.
Have a lovely day all
Fun parkrun and fun "present" by the sound of things, Chick.
WP: I wouldn't have been able to walk today!
Hazel: the hike sounds tougher than running! And yes, it was a course best, not that it was very good: the previous attempts were injury hampered I seem to remember. Will go again in the summer perhaps and post a reasonable time!
Legs tired after yesterday's trail run.
Last hard: yesterday
Lyrics no
Hope you enjoyed your cake Poppy - sounds as though your legs needed refuelling
That sounds nice Hazel. Mark did walk with me before going out on his bike this morning whilst I tried my run and then went for another walk.
Goal setting is good if it motivates you emzap but it's also ok to decide to just enjoy your running whilst you recover your strength this year.
I'm a bit torn about having the injection if I'm honest. It will mean resting for 48 hours so I won't even be able to do my walking and then an indeterminate time of walking/gym/swimming/biking (if I can bring myself to do either of the latter) before I'm able to try running again and in my experience steroid injections either work, work for a short period (unlikely in this case because if it settles the inflammation that should be it until the next time it does it) or don't work at all - and there's no telling which you'll get. If I just rest (as in don't run) it will get better eventually - again no idea when - but it should get better quicker with the steroid.
