Morning.

Lyrics - A cooling system
             Burns out in the Ukraine

Good that your knee feels better emzap. Hopefully the tiredness will pass.

First day in captivity complete OH. Hope today passes quickly for you.

Wind has died down overnight though it's still quite breezy. Rain forecast for later but hopefully I'll get Lola walked in the dry.

What:            nothing
Why:             knee
Last hard:     not being able to run
Last rest:      21/8

Yesterday's lyrics - Like A Hurricane by Neil Young.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Oh LMH sending hugs your way.

    Knee is feeling even better this morning though I can still feel it.  Am tired though, neighbours had another party until around 1 again...I did fall asleep despite it, but disrupted.

    What: going to local parkrun course (not at 9am!) and running that
    Why: Lucas and OH can walk around it, I get a change of scenery and the new bakery I discovered is nearby.
    Last hard: my legs hurt again this morning!  Tomorrow is a walk day though, so that's good.
    Lyrics: nope

    Dustin, if I remember I'll send a pic of the cakes!

    Have a lovely day all.

    Last hard last night really tough short forest run with oh
    Last rest 31/12/16

    Morning!

    Enjoy not-parkrun, Emz!

    How was the knee post-walk, LMH?

    What: 88 minutes, largely off-road

    Why: did ask myself that at times. About 80 minutes of the 88 were in heavy rain, despite it being dry when I set off and the forecast was for light rain. Cross country weather and a fair amount reminded me of cross country underfoot as well. Anyway, the week's LSR banked.

    Lyrics: no

    So the top pic is what mine had, no way I ran down the high road
    Oh and the correct one is the bottom pic
    How weird

    Much worse Alehouse - which is why my physio has said that I must minimise walking on the in between run days. Well done on the long run.

    Great that your knee is feeling better emzap - hope you enjoyed the run and whatever you purchased from the bakery.

    Nice to have your OH for company Wabo.

    Definitely feeling better, just accidentally did a sub 30 5km. Ale I promise I was talking it easy, it just happened!

    Too many people at lake though, none social distancing, walking 5 abreast and forcing me onto verges and getting tripped up by dogs despite me giving fair warning that I was passing...
    Nice but windy here, hope you've dried out ale

    yes that is bacon on a square donut!

    Evening.. more or less..

    Hmm I'm not sure about bacon on doughnuts... Actually I'm not that keen on doughnuts - could I just have the bacon? A good reward for surviving the lake though emzap if you like them which is what matters. Well done on the sub 30.

    Interesting Garmin wobble Wabo. Read good things in the past about Epping forest - mostly involving mud.

    Doesn't sound like you enjoyed that too much Ale. Good time.

    Not good regarding the knee LMH.

    Hope OH isn't climbing the walls yet.

    What: just short of 7 miles at a slightly overenthusiastic pace
    Why: yesterday's run today - felt much better as the heat has gone again
    Last hard: OH leaving this am for a week's holiday. I'm off work too next week but will do daytrips again.
    Last rest: 30.03.

    Lyrics: no

    Nice to have a faster than expected run emzap. Not at all sure about the doughnut though Mark has been known to have bacon and maple syrup on pancakes.

    Hope you enjoy your time off Hazel.

    Afternoon!

    Well done Emz! You must be fitter than you thought if it was comfortable! I'm not keen on doughnuts either. 

    Of course I enjoyed my run, Hazel! Well in a masochistic sort of way! I had several options to cut it short and in fact added some on! At least I stayed cool! Good time on feet, but slow in terms of time, quite deliberately.

    And if anyone comes across a sportsshoes.com discount code...

    I'm also not keen on donuts but these were good!

    Just braved m&s. It was pretty empty to be fair

    Fitted a door closing device, shifted a lot of weeds, harvested some peas.
    Self isolation activities
    I think Els is actually finding it much harder than me.
    Yesterday was fairly restful.
    Lyrics as usual no

    Our Garmins consistently both show about a 50' vertical jump as we climb the steps from the beach (about 8')

    I would be quite content in a world without doughnuts, even with added bacon!

    Quick check-in to say hi.

    We're away for a few days with rubbish internet connectivity so a bit of enforced digital detox which isn't the worst thing :)

    Hugs coming your way,  LMH. That's so frustrating :(

    Back in civilisation in Tuesday.

    Take care all :)

    Enjoy chicksta.

    Hope Els can find things to keep her occupied OH. I think that knowing you can’t do something makes it worse, not for too long and for a good reason. Did Els find out if she can accept the date offered for her procedure?
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Alehouse run sounds fun
    Emzap well run today, love doughnuts, not bacon though
    Lmh sorry to hear your knee felt worse
    Hazel Epping forest is amazing and I'm so happy to live close. Hope your run was ok and hope you don't miss oh too much
