Wednesday, 19th February - For all those who stood up and were counted
Morning 
Lyrics: For all those who stood up and were counted
I can hear the wind howling and there may be rain but I have about 7 weeks until I need to run 56k, so I better get off that lazy derrière

Yesterday's lyrics - Alright For Now - Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
Hope the weather isn't as bad as it sounds chicksta.
That's good to hear Wabo.
Cold here this morning but the rain isn't forecast to start until midday and the weather worsens after today so I'm going to try to get my LSR done. It will be a little tight before work and I don't know where I'm going to be able to run but I figure you can make excuses or you can make it happen..............wish me luck.
What: hopefully LSR
Why: my clock is ticking too
Last hard: marathon training this year has been hard
Last rest: 11/2
Lyrics - no.
Chick - hope the dentist went OK
Wabo - good commuting skills!
OH - eek, hope the ecg results are good news
LmH - annoying with cancelled appointments. My follow up eye consultation scheduled in December was cancelled 2 hours before, then rescheduled for March, then cancelled and rescheduled for May, then cancelled and rescheduled for April...not holding my breath about that but clearly they aren't too worried!
What - easy lunchtime
Why - taking it easy
last rest - Monday. Was supposed to run lunchtime but got sruck with some kind of stomach bug. Lets just say I didn't want to stray too far from a bathroom. Left work early and spent 16 hours in bed/bathroom and could only face food again yesterday afternoon. Went training last night but was merely jogging round to get some air.
last hard - past 48 hours
Hope you got a decent run in, Chick, and that yours is long, LMH!
What: a run of some description, hopefully around 40 minutes again
Why: getting back to it
Lyrics: no
I meant my running is feeling a bit easier you probably guessed!
hazel I know that juggling feeling, I am sitting doing it now! Hope it goes well
alehouse, have a good run
dustin enjoy the lunch time run
LMH have a good lsr
Re the weather I literally was about 100mtres from home when the rain came last night
chick I am sure your derriere is anything but lazy
lyrics are familiar
What: about 4.5 later
why: just trying to keep good miles and some bumps thrown in
last hard: last night
last rest: 31/12/16
Have a good day all
Sorry to hear that you've been ill Dustin. Take it easy for a couple of days eh? That is a lot of messing around with your appointments.
It was Alehouse - though it was a bit fraught in places and took some imagination on the route - not to mention a bit of a stern talking to at one point. Done now though.
Frustrating about the internet connection Hazel. Hopefully a run will help to dissipate the stress.
Glad you banked it, LMH!
I sense the internet frustration, Hazel!
Sorry to hear that you are not at your best, Dustin!
What: 40 mins
Why: balancing risk and reward.
Icy rain for most of it but at least the wind dropped when the precipitation started! Didn't feel great for the first 15 mins, then got going but the last five minutes seemed a long time! Saw younger son out on his horse for a brief chat. All off road with a few muddy stretches but by and large surfaces were fine. Back wasn't quite right but as long as it doesn't worsen I can live with that.
Hope you get the 4.5 in later, Wabo!
Sounds nasty, Dustin. Hope you're on the mend now.
Wabo: It's nice when the running feels easier. I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum at the moment. My runs tend to feel slightly shitty. I still blame whatever ailed me last week. My HR isn't back to normal yet.
Hope they fix your computer soon, Hazel and good luck on the MLR later. I'm going to PM you my train number nearer the time
Chamolk: Good luck with the doubles. I find it really hard to get going again in the afternoon or evening.
Well, my run was pants. HR was sky high and legs were dead. I managed a good hour before I was pelted with heavy rain and sleet so I called it a day. Not sure if I can still blame last week's lurgy or the dentist. Anyway, not going to cry over it. Just going to chalk this off as a rubbish one and move on with some strength work at the gym
What: only 8 miles
Why: they felt like 20, honest!
Last hard: today
Last rest: Sunday
re doubles, most people I know do a short easy recovery run in the morning and the harder work in the evening.
LMH glad you got your run in, albeit higgeldy piggeldy
CHick sorry to hear your run was like that, tbh it is probably a combination of both. My running felt rubbish when I had that lurgy keep coming back all the time and I think it is only now that it is getting easier after about a month of being clear, touch wood
I nearly talked myself out of my run at eight miles as my legs felt dead and I was tired but I had a word and then my mood was lifted when a couple of nice men in a van stopped to offer me a lift through an over knee deep flood. Unfortunately I encountered a deeper and longer one after that when i thought I was safely on my way home and was seriously worried about how I was going to get home in time to get to work but fortunately managed to find a route.
chicksta - good attitude.
Do you have any races coming up Wabo?
Lmh funny enough I'm doing the big half 1/3 I got a cheap entry! Your run sounds like an assault course!
Hope to get first swim for a week tomorrow morning.
Last hard: all seems hard just now
Last rest: Thursday.
Lyrics: don't think so
LMH - maybe you could try a bit of swimming whilst out on your runs, it sounds really bad
Wabo hope the mood improves a bit with the run, hope your next run goes better chick, and glad yours are going ok ale.
Get well soon Dustin
Hope the run went well Hazel
Regarding the doubles - I'll try a few different things and see how they go then decide if I'll keep them going.
Had an interesting run tonight. Run to the club, but felt a bit rotten at the start - got a stitch, felt a bit sick. Did 4 x 5 min tempo intervals but felt a bit sluggish. Final rep was 3 mins, so thought I'd try a faster one and about 400m in I suddenly felt great and did a 2:59 800m. Run home felt easy and I finished the run feeling fantastic, despite being soaked. Haven't had a run like that in a while, and wasn't expecting it today as I'm in the middle of my highest mileage weeks. Very pleasant way to end the run, 10 miles in total.
Didn't help me know the lyrics though
