Lyrics - Like a summer rose
Needs the sun and rain

Can't sleep!!! 
What 5k in the forest with a mate
Why I feel up to that now
Last hard Sunday
Last rest 31/12

Have a good Monday all
Hope I sleep
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can

    Morning!

    Lyrics: yes

    Yesterday's were Say a Little Prayer, Aretha Franklin

    Awake early: cricket to listen to. Hopefully back to sleep afterwards. Trust you got some, Wabo!

    What: hopefully a decent length run

    Why: Monday is usually long run day

    Hope everything goes to plan, Chick!

    Back later!

    Morning.

    Hope you managed to sleep Wabo.

    Good to see you RFJ.

    It feels like a long time but it will soon pass chicksta. You managed your rehab really well last time and I have no doubt you'll do the same this.

    Enjoy the long run alehouse. If your forecast is the same as ours today is looking much better than tomorrow weather wise - typical as I was hoping to do a longer walk tomorrow (have to be back for work today).
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning
    Not enough but yes went off at 1. 6 hours not enough for me! 
    My mum loves the cricket alehouse. Hope you enjoy that and your run
    Rfj nice to see you
    Lmh hope all is ok with you
    Sad news yesterday, a good friends mum passed away and she was like mum to all of us, used to all go away together including 'mum'. Such good memories of her. Then my daughter's mum also passed away. It was really on my mind hence not being able to sleep.
    Times are tough no getting away from it.

    Morning

    Thought I'd posted yesterday, bit clearly not. Did a family walk around the lanes (Lucas in the backpack, not on my back thankfully!), about 7km I'd guess.  I knew yesterday's lyrics, on a roll!

    Today's I think I know too but not 100%

    Was meant to be running with a club mate tonight, but when I asked where we were meeting, she said she'd arranged to go with someone else as she'd forgotten we'd arranged it which has peed me off a bit. So I'm hoping I can find someone else to run with, as running alone in the dark isn't great as I have to go later on a Monday due to childcare.  

    So no idea what I'm doing today now.

    Have a good day all.

    Glad you corrected that, Wabo! Tough times.

    Hope you find someone to run with, Emz. Fortunately the cricket didn't last long so got a couple of hours more sleep, although it doesn't feel like it.

    Morning

    Mojo issues last week again (running / life) and need to read back as took a break.

    Cricket somewhere not in the UK I guess Ale?  Have a good long run.

    Sorry to hear about your sad news Wabo.  Enjoy those forest km.

    Annoying to be let down like that emzap. 

    Similar weather thoughts here LMH but with regards to yesterday and today - snow / sleet / rain yesterday and chained to my desk currently looking at the sunshine outside (which I need to banish as I can't see anything on my screen properly).

    What: recovery / turbo trundle
    Why: Monday
    Last rest: 30.03.
    Lyrics: no

    Morning again!

    Good to see you, Hazel! Cricket was in Sri Lanka. Would quite like to be there at present!

    What: 83 minutes, mainly off road

    Why: this week's long run, and in fact the longest since mid October. Damp and overcast, breezy, cooler than expected, and despite the forecast of no rain there were a couple of showers. It is winter though!

    Bumped into M75 coming the opposite way. He had his vaccine yesterday so I wonder how long before he thinks it is ok to run together. Could have done with some company today. Hard slog in places.

    Stretches later.

    Hiya
    Ale - nice running, and the right result in the cricket too!
    RFJ - glad to see you pop in
    Emz - pleased you found a "victim" !
    Hazel - hope mojo is restored

    What - will be slow and easy if I muster any enthusiasm
    Why - recovery day, legs feel a bit sore, done 158 miles of the 268 needed for the January "challenge" so I can probably get away with a couple of lighter days if I need it.
    Made a rod for my own back by aiming to do most of it on trails with hills. Silly boy.
    last rest - 10/10
    last hard - Saturday
    lyric - dont think so

    I'd have been peed off too emzap. Glad you've found some company.

    Sorry you had a bad week Hazel. Typical with the weather!

    Sad news Wabo.

    Good to see you building up alehouse.

    Take it easy Dustin.

    I decided that I should make the most of the reasonable weather this morning in case I don't get out much tomorrow and had a nice long walk. Definitely less people out.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Hail squalls.
    Swim taking me to 46m short of January's Polar Bear Challenge 3k target.
    Hot shower then 5k jog.
    Stiff back improving.
    Last hard swim this morning - knew I was not far off target, but there's a few more days in month yet ...
    Lyrics no
    Tough times Wabo.

    Intend running with Monday evening group (if anyone turns up)

    (((Wabo))) that's a lot of sas news :(

    Is your boiler fixed, OH?

    Good to see you Hazel but sorry to hear you're struggling. Hope things improve at your end.

    Long walk sounds good, LMH.

    Great progress, Dustin. Take it easy if you feel like it. You don't want to get injured.

    Hope you can run with M75 soon, ale.

    Em: That would have annoyed me too 😡

    Stitches are out, doc is happy and so am I :)

    Good news chicksta.

    Plenty of days left to reach your target OH. Hope you get some company for your run.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Still in a state of no boiler Chicksta - the open fire is our friend.
    At least one other coming this evening - so I'll have to go!
