in Training
Morning
Today's lyrics (not the first line):
Get your head down baby - yeah - we're gonna ride tonight
Storm turned up here sometime last night but not too dramatic where I live - windy on the hills though - well over 80mph.
What: rest day fortunately - will have a stroll around the village later hopefully
Why: Monday and I'm not running in that
Last rest: today
Have a good start to the week everybody

Take care Hazel with the winds and very sensible.
Chamolk: I hope you got home from nightshift okay and no snow.I like the Wii it is fun I have a good programme that used swiss ball, step and weights and only 30 minutes, I did add in the boxing which is fun:-)
What 6.2 miles
Why: Let up with the wind
Last hard Yesterday and Storm Ciara
Lyrics: Yes
I ran hill route lots of branches down but that was all I saw, although a tree looked like it would fall over if we got any more winds.I did see two other runs which is unusual but this time 5.30am was the best time before they whip up again.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Hazel, chamolk - great long runs
RFJ - well done with the continued mileage
Wabo - shame you couldn't make your race
Dibs - lovely to see you! Sorry I can't help about HR training..
LmH - Black Bean Brownie, now I'm intrigued!
A busy weekend
Saturday my club hosted the final XC race of the series. Blue skies, light breeze, no rain. Perfect!
Few last minute hitches with marshals. I know they are volunteers but if the first race is midday and I suggest an 11:45 briefing, don't turn up at 12:05....
Dust finally settled so I donned the spikes for the men's race at 2:30. 6.5 miles, didn't go too mad -instead just enjoyed a run in the sun. 48.30ish so not too bad, but hardly super fast either.
Sunday - popped out depsite the howling winds for 11 miles over the fields. Wanted more but in those conditions you do what you can. Legs still a bit mangled too.
Afternoon on club admin, pretty much up straight now with summer league dates all finalised and team mangers all in place.
Today - easy lunchtime
Why - recovery
last rest - 15 days
last hard - yesterday
lyric - not sure I do
Oh and my first born is 22 today, where did that time go..??
Yesterday's lyrics - Stormy Weather by Etta James.
Happy Birthday to Ms D. Dustin I was most surprised that my MiL really rated the brownies - you should try them, very easy to make too.
chamolk - I found lots of overly complicated, long winded, faffy recipes when I was first thinking of making granola which put me off but then I came across the recipe that I have adapted for use now, 30 minutes to make so if you'd like the recipe let me know.
Hope you get out for your walk Hazel. I just made it back from mine this morning before we had a very heavy sleet shower.
Glad conditions were ok for your run Poppy.
My knee is unhappy walking so no run for me today.
Stormy weather here still as well. I had in mind Billie Holiday's version but there are lots of others.
What: 37 minutes
Why: last minute decision to run with M74. He has been ill so not our usual hour or so. Glad it wasn't as that was enough for my back today. Hamstrings not happy either; don't think glutes are firing properly. Have not been doing the glute exercises much because of my back. Vicious circle! Generally optimistic though!
Sounds a good running weekend, Dustin. 22? Just a youngster; mine are all over 30.
Sorry to hear no running, LMH. More gym?
Lyrics: not today
LMH sorry to hear your knee is still not playing ball, I am sure one of my running buddies was talking about black beans in brownies the other evening
hazel, have a nice restful day
alehouse good t hat you're optimistic, I do see what you mean with the vicious circle!
Dustin as always you have had a busy weekend, re my race, I heard that it was a new course and lots of runners were heading the wrong way and being called back, exactly why I didn't want to go alone. Next year hopefully. Hope your 22 year old has a g ood day
poppy glad you got out in better weather for your run!
What: 3 ish later
why: dropping car to a mechanic for timing belt then running home
Last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
chicksta - no more water intrusion so far but see below.
Have just got home from work, fortunately finished early as I left my windowless room and exited the building to find that it is snowing heavily, settling and causing chaos with the traffic already - what on earth is going on with our weather?
< rant>
Weather squall caused delay leaving Zürich on Air France compounded by further delays getting airborne.
Touched down Paris CDG 40 min before connecting flight to Aberdeen, further 10 minutes to get off plane.
Sprinted (literally) from T2F to T2E including passport check.
Arrived at gate to be told "You are too late. The flight has closed."
All onwards flights fully booked today. Now redirected via Manchester and Aberdeen on FlyBe tomorrow and weather set to continue ...
Air France was aware that there were passengers on Zürich flight connecting to Air France to Aberdeen.
So other than sprint between terminals no exercise to report today and looking like none tomorrow. (There is a small pool in airport hotel but swimming togs are somewhere with baggage)
Last hard: gate K21
Last rest: Thursday
As usual don't know lyrics but can think of one that might be appropriate for tomorrow!
Good 2 days skiing with youngest daughter however
I hate CDG at the best of times, OH! I can feel your frustration! I guess you will only be at Manchester airport briefly...
