Tuesday 8th December 2020 The nights are colder now
Morning!
Lyrics: The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
What: easy run
Why: ran longer yesterday so being careful. Weather doesn't look promising either.
Back later.

Yesterday's lyrics - Caution by The Killers.
We must have cross posted yesterday Els - glad your 5 miles felt normal.
I thought I'd give it a try OH and it won't get wasted :-)
chicksta - I work on Teams at the moment so apart from the wifi falling out will hopefully be ok. Will need to ensure I use a sensible background though - I tend to prefer the beach one when meeting with my students :-) Keep being sensible.
You should have great base fitness Dustin.
Cold here but forecast to be dry Alehouse.
Hope the move goes well Hazel.
What: easy miles
Why: rehab
Last hard: getting my knee to stop hurting when I run
Last rest: 7/12
Lyrics - yes.
Bit grim and foggy outside but no ice as yet...
What - club night: 1x8, 2x4, 4x2, 8x1 with same distance recovery (on grass)
Why - schedule
last rest - 10/10
last hard - QoP elbow in the hammies yesterday
lyric - possibly
#2 back from Manchester Detention centre now although it looks like she may have tonsilitis.
Will try to make a docs appointment this morning - if they answer the phone...
Be careful out there and have fun!
Hazel hope the move goes well
Dustin oh dear tonsillitis is not nice! Enjoy your run
lmh enjoy the easy
alehouse you enjoy the easy too
What: it will be only a mile now for the foreseeable future!
Why: not feeling better
last hard: getting up
last rest: 31/12/16
Having a test done at 12 so let's see....
Poor #2 Dustin - I hope she recovers quickly. Just as well your session is on grass I think. Not too bad here but slippery in places.
Cold and foggy out having walked Lucas to nursery (he didn't walk, it's 2km!)
No running today
Managed another 9 hours of sleep but still tired. I suppose I'm catching up for the past 8 months!
Have you been tested wabo? Hope you get results fast and what ong said about 1 mile.
Dustin hope miss d is ok.
Lmh you can blur the background, not sure if that helps?
Have a lovely day all
Else: Great work yesterday with 5 miles
Wabo: I hope you get the results asap and I would stop running if you are feeling so unwell ?
Dustin: Hope #2 gets a appointment.
LMH: Enjoy the run but be careful of ice.
Em: Great sleeping you are in my area I get 9 hours if I can.
What: 1 mile treadmill/30 mins core body workout/maybe a walk later
Why: Weather and knee
Last hard Ice
Lyrics yes
I hate the treadmill so the best I can do at the moment.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I hope you can get out Poppy - so much better for the head than a treadie run. Only a few slippery patches here fortunately though I did stick mostly to the trails.
Swim and online yoga done.
Last hard: short days.
Lyrics: no
Gingerbread is light and fluffy
I'd go for shirt lmh, better to be too formal. I had on a nice top for my interviews and the interviewers turned up in t-shirts 😂
9-10 hours is normal for me poppy, just haven't had it in a loooong time!
What: just under half an hour fairly easy
Why: cold icy rain so that was enough.
LMH: to break the ice you can say I didn't know what to wear for the interview and that you would normally be suited and booted. Over the years I have interviewed hundreds of people...but none over the internet!
Ask for questions to be repeated if necessary, and I am happy for interviewees to write them down (you can ask if they mind you taking notes): both show that you are taking things seriously. Most interviewers actually want candidates to do well, although it might not seem like it!
Also I am comfortable with people saying something like, "Can I think about that for a moment before I reply", ensuring that they don't rush into an answer.
If you are asked a "what would you do if" type question, if it is a matter of health and safety you might want to do xyz urgently; most other things can wait a little: you would give something serious consideration, consult with your line manager for advice, follow the policy and guidelines, rather than rush into a course of action that you might regret later.
You may get asked if you have any questions: I would only say yes if you have a really important one; most questions that I have been asked have been almost frivolous and are the candidate saying something for the sake of saying something.
WP - a start has been made by both of us. A wee bit longer and a wee bit slower today but it was pretty windy though avoided the rain.
This followed a lazy start to the day with soup, cake and bread making. Afternoon trying to shop, not very successfully.
Almost dark!
Wabo, hope the test proves negative, how long to wait for results these days? I got mine next morning but unfortunately didn't get forwarded to Edinburgh hospital as promised. Was able to sort it out though they didn't want to take my word for it!
Have a good day though not much daylight left of it.
Thanks for the interview thoughts, I think you are correct, better to be over than under dressed, we'll just have to crank the heating up!
Els - I wasn't proposing to rush out and buy a suit for it though I do have a jacket that fits and I guess they won't see my bottom half :-) It's getting dark depressingly early isn't it?
Alehouse - I think the thing I'm most likely to want to ask assuming it isn't covered is when I'd hear whether I'm successful and when they'd want me to start.
I'm making a start on present wrapping and card writing - it's less stressful than putting the marzipan on the cake though I guess that will have to happen soon.
That's the great thing about wfh and videoconferencing - I usually wear a decent top and make sure my hair isn't too messy but the bottom half is always clad in leggings
How did your run go?
Sorry to hear you're still feeling rough, wabo. I know you're streaking but sometimes even a mile can be too much if the immune system is down ... which is basically what LMH said too.
Hope it's "only" tonsilitis, Dustin.
Em: I wish I could sleep 3 hours, nevermind 9. Had another very rough night last night stressing about stuff. Sigh.
With you on needing fresh air to feel better, poppy.
I did 5k straight out of bed without coffee first - that was quite tough. At least I was wide awake when I got back.
