Sunday 23rd February 2020 - Have you ever thought that the sky was just endlessly dark
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Have you ever thought that the sky was just endlessly dark
Mostly Alehouse - it started on a narrow lane with speed bumps, then there were the potholes getting to the race track followed by the rough country lane and finish on the gravel.
We've had heavy rain just about all night. Due to stop around 0900hrs but I think that there's a good chance most of my routes will be impassable again. I was planning/hoping for a LSR but I think I may settle for something shorter and hope that conditions improve later in the week - though we are forecast more heavy rain tomorrow morning.
What: miles of some description/gym
Why: marathon training/getting old
Last hard: this winter
Last rest: 20/2

Lyrics: no
If you think you're getting old LMH, I don't know what that makes me! Hope you find somewhere to run.
What: short run/fitness suite
Why: working on staying young
back from a windy and hilly Winchester 10k... not quite the sub 50 I wanted, but near as damm it (had it been shorter than the 6.3m.....)
Always a good start to the race meeting up with Daughter for hugs post run :-) the run its self was windy and undulating / hilly, however the splits are all pretty even except the last .3m and mile 4.... 8.00 / 8.03, 8.02, 8.14, 8.00, 7.52 and 8.21 for the last bit as leg was tiring. 50:37 provisional
On other news, multiple appointments and referrals ref MS inc counselling, physio, support group, continence clinic / urology and medication appoint to be brought forwards.
Take care and have a blessed week all
That'll be the recovery run effect chicksta:-) Windy again here today but dry by the time I set out though the flooding was increasing as the day progressed - water coming from upriver I guess. I contented myself with a good 16 miles, hopefully conditions will be better later in the week and my knees will behave and I can get the long one done.
XC this afternoon with a touch of sun.
#1of 2 in veteran men 😀
Last hard: this morning's swim
Friday was more restful.
Lyrics no
Not greatly troubled by flooding here (no rivers of any magnitude) but wind has been fairly relentless.
Might get a podium finish at end of XC series if only though loyalty and duggedness 😂
You probably don't need to go quite that far chicksta but I do usually find that my runs get better as I go especially when I've set off wit tired/heavy legs.
Glad you feel positive about your race Hazel. A good run - one that is faster than it feels and I enjoy and end up adding a couple of miles too rather than struggling to complete the minimum mileage I've set out to achieve.
