Monday 17th February - And when you're out there, without care Yeah I was out of touch

Wabo

Morning all
Quick post while in bed perusing a little run this morning more later

Wabo

My run was very good yesterday just under 6 but like lmh said paths in Epping were flooded like I've never seen. At one point we waded through something like a stream that is usually a Bridle path! 
By the time I got home I was soaked right through

Morning.

Yesterday's lyrics - The Show Must Go On - Queen.

No work today Wabo?

Nice accidental long run RFJ.

chamolk - one tactic I use to start steady on long runs is to make each quarter a slightly faster average than the previous one and i always aim for a negative split so there's a good incentive to start steady.

That is a great long run with those marathon pace miles Hazel.

Still windy here at the minute though that's due to ease, unfortunately we are forecast more rain.

What:           hopefully a MLR
Why:            didn't manage it yesterday/limited opportunities this week
Last hard:    fitting this in before work 
Last rest:     11/2

Lyrics - no.

Morning!

Lyrics: no

What: hoping for something longer, but unfortunately on my own as M74 is not playing today

Why: trying to get back to it. Hope my paths are not too wet.

Morning

that's a shame Ale - hope M74 is ok.

Good wading Wabo.  Enjoy your little run later. 

Good luck with finding somewhere to run for your MLR LMH. 

Have a good start to the week everybody.

What: possibly a short recovery to loosen up the legs, otherwise a brisk walk

Why: sitting at a desk for several hours won't do them any good as stiff this morning.

Last hard: yesterday's run

Last rest: 15.02.

Lyrics: no

Dustin

alehouse

Morning again!

M74 is fine: off on a long family walk!

What: just over 45 minutes, largely off road

Why: need to get back to it. Longest run since January 13th I think. Hard work: thanks for the company everyone over the last 10 minutes!

If you didn't know about the recent storms you wouldn't know about the recent storms! Water levels much lower than anticipated, all puddles could be negotiated and the debris from the trees was no real hazard! Long may it stay that way!

A bit of a later start than usual then Wabo?

You are very fortunate Alehouse - mega amounts of flooding here, discovered yet more places impassable that I have never seen flooded before. A nice driver gave me a lift through two bits only for us to encounter a stretch that was too deep for him to drive through.

Hope you can get out for a walk Hazel - all this sitting down definitely isn't good for us.

Enjoy your lunchtime run Dustin.

I am having a weird morning. Rushed around to get out in time to fit a MLR in before work. Mega flooding meant loads of little out and backs when I encountered impassable bits, changes of route, little loops to make the distance up. Windier than forecast but of course as I wore my jacket the forecast rain didn't materialise (not that I'm complaining!). Home to find that my first two students aren't coming in so I don't need to be on site until 1300hrs and the minor op tomorrow has been cancelled due to an emergency so i now have all day tomorrow and can run Wednesday morning as usual.............

Surely that's good news, LMH. Always nice to have more time for running than originally thought.

Great MP sesh yesterday, Hazel. I can safely say that I definitely never ran those sessions too fast. I kept consoling myself with the fact that it's the effort that counts. So you're in a really good place.

Looks like your area escaped the worst of the weather, ale.

We're lucky here in terms of geography. It's marshland but the Dutch came by in the 17th century and dug a sophisticated network of ditches, installed a couple of windmills (which have long been replaced by hydraulic pumps) to change the swamp into farmland. The system still works and any excess water ends up being pumped into the river.

What: 10k on the TM and strength work before hitting the dentist's chair for root canal part 2

Why: still too windy for my liking

Last hard: root canal

Last rest: yesterday

Lyrics: yes

Wabo

lmh, no I started 8.30, normal time. I woke before my alarm funny enough, set for 6.50, usually I shoot out by about 7 have a run or drive straight here to do tai chi. Lots going on today with you!
chick hope root canal is soon to be done!
alehouse, nice running and I am glad m74 is good!

Afternoon

What 6.15 miles
Why:because I can
Last hard:Illness/weather
Lyrics No

Another good run this morning still sleeping 12+ hours but body must need it:-)

Little M.iss Happy

Our rivers are all in flood chicksta. Yes but no on the changes, great to have more time for running but I could have delayed the MLR until tomorrow when it wouldn't have been as stressful to try and fit it in and conditions should be better and Mark had taken tomorrow off to take me to hospital - and it would be nice to know for sure that the lump they want to biopsy is benign. Hope the root canal work is finished now?

You have a late start to your morning Wabo - we're usually up before 0600hrs.

Great that you're feeling better enough to have these good runs Poppy.
