Morning, just!

Lyrics: If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way...

What: short run/longer fitness suite

Why: easy run day/the suite is open from today, thank goodness!

Out for lunch due to WAVA improvement. The lyrics must be the theme for the next year.

Hope you get to talk things through with the GP, LMH.

Little M.iss Happy

Morning all
Back to work today :-(
Lmh I do hope your appt helps you decide.
Alehouse enjoy the lunch
Lyrics no, yesterday's were Tilted, Christine and the queen's
Terrible night sleep. I just ache so much lately at night. So for rid of one pillow as one is the norm for me, we'll see. New mattress maybe needed if this doesn't help.
What run with a mate later, maybe 5 miles
Why catch up
Last hard sleeping
Last rest 31/12/16
I got in Snowdonia ballot!! 
Have a good day all

alehouse

Morning again!

Oh dear Wabo: Snowdonia sounds far too hard! Enjoy your run later! 

Annual weigh in: 10 stone 7 and a half. Lots to work on there! Was around 9:11 last July. 

Dustin

Morning All
Ale - happy Birthday, enjoy lunch!
LmH - sorry to hear the ongoing troubles, hope you reach a satisfactory decision...
Wabo - good news with the ballot, bad news with sleep misery...
Chick - well done with treadmill hills, horrible way to do them!
WP - your race sounded lovely
Hazel - Another on P&D here, I aim for 55-70 but tend to veer somewhere between 40-55 & 55-70 (low / high targets) and usually hit somewhere in between
Well done to the various Park Runners over the year end.

Was offline for a couple of days: New Year's Eve the club does an all age group relay ( 4 x 2k). My team had 1 x9yo, 1x 13yo, 1x returning senior and me. By a process of elimination (Read: nobody wanted to do it), I got the last leg. I managed to consolidate our 22nd place (out of 25) although I think I may have irritated a hamstring doing so....
Had hoped for a longer trail run yesterday but had niggly glute / hamstring that limited pace & distance. Managed just over 10 but it was a glorious sunny morning to be out.

Today - Club session - 10x 100 hills
Why - on the schedule, I'm coaching
Last Rest - 19/12
Last hard - Tuesday/yesterday

emzap

Morning

What: trying another club
Why: both the ones I'm trying are pay and play so I can decide when I go and which I go to
Last hard: sprinting at the end of pr yesterday. I got overtaken and that doesn't normally happen!
Lyrics: nope

Happy birthday Ale.
Lmh good luck at Doc's
Wabo hope you get better sleep tonight
Dustin look after that hammy

Think Lucas will be missing daddy today, he's got far too used to us both being around so may find it harder to do things today as he didn't like being left this morning ...

Have a lovely day all

HazelnutCH

Morning!

Happy birthday Ale - hope you have a lovely day.  Work on / worry about the weight tomorrow and treat yourself today?  Almost missed the connection with the Wava.  Brain not yet working today.

Difficult decision to make LMH.  Good luck with your appointment.

Hope work is gentle to you Wabo after your bad night's sleep - my collegues / my customer are still pretty quiet and no disasters whilst I was away.  Good news regarding Snowdonia - I remember you had to miss it in 2019.

Careful with the niggles Dustin.  At least you were able to profit from the nice weather yesterday nonetheless.  Enjoy coaching / club run today.

Pay and play sounds like a good club option emzap.  Hope Lucas settles soon.

What: MLR post work

Why: Back to everyday life

Last hard: that

Last rest: yesterday

Lyrics: no

chicksta

Happy birthday, ale 🍾🎈🎂

Yes to lyrics - we did the whole distance in 2014. Highly recommended.

Commiserations to those back in work. I'm off until the 7th.

New mattress sounds like the way to go, wabo. Although I find that the menopause has as lot to answer for when it comes to random pain, especially at night.

How do you feel about doing Snowdonia this year? Excited or scared?

Hope the doc can help you to get back on the road, LMH.

Did you like the new club, em? Must be hard for Lucas to understand why daddy is not there today...

So annoying when a niggle stops play, Dustin. Hope it's short-lived. Well done at the relays.

Fingers crossed you can get out early enough for your MLR, Hazel.

What: 14 mile progression run

Why: beautiful day, cold but sunny

Last hard: Tuesday's run

Last rest: 20/12

Wabo

Chick that is interesting re menopause and aches.  I will see how a couple of days on one pillow goes, it felt better already this morning madly enough.  I am ok about Snowdonia.  I really want to give it another go.  But oh has already mentioned how it messes with our holiday in summer when I say I need to do long runs so I will get my head round that somehow.  He is right, if we go abroad it is too difficult to put in long runs.
enjoy your progressive run
dustin sorry to hear about the niggle, hope it backs off!
alehouse, I want to be your weight! I only gained 2lbs though so happy days
hazel enjoy the MLR, work is fine so far
emzap hope lucas isn't missing daddy too much

Little M.iss Happy

Wabo - I find one pillow is much better for my back/neck/shoulder. I only use two if I need to prop myself up to stop coughing. If you aren't going on holiday for more than two weeks it doesn't matter at all - long run just before you go and the next when you come back and you'll be fine.

I weighed in yesterday exactly 1kg heavier than on 1st Jan last year Alehouse but I can afford to carry that.

Careful please Dustin!

Hope you don't have to start your MLR too late Hazel.

How has Lucas been emzap? Hope the new club is suitable.

It sounds as though you're making the most of your time off chicksta.

I managed to get ten miles of walking in before my doctors appointment which is good as I had the injection and now have to rest for 48 hours. Fortunately that will only mean one inactive day as I can walk/gym/swim/bike from midday on Saturday - cunningly planned or what eh? Unfortunately the doctor said that even with the jab it could be 4-6 weeks before my knee settles down enough to resume running :-( If that is the case London may have to be a fundraising long run before a May/June marathon if I can negotiate that with Mark.

Afternoon

Dustin Do take care of niggleno room on injury bench for you,

Why: Legs said lets do this
Last Hard NYE hills/forgetting it was jab this morning
Lyrics: Yes

A good run legs are happy and seems to have recovered well.
