Monday 8th March 2021 Talkin' to myself and feelin' old

alehousealehouse ✭✭✭
edited March 2021 in Training
Morning!

Lyrics: Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit

What: hopefully a walk

Why: hopefully a better day

Rain due shortly though.

Wonder how, and where, Chick is.

Yesterday's lyrics were Shine on Harvest Moon, much recorded and over a hundred years old! Probably the last of the moon themed songs!

Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning

    Hopefully Chicksta is enjoying her holiday in the meantime. 

    You don't sound too optimistic by the lyrics today Ale.  Fingers crossed for a walk again today. 

    What happens if you overrun the 8k Wabo - does it not count for RTS?

    What: 5miles solo will be on the agenda here too - recovery to easy pace with some strides
    Why: should be the right sort of thing for a Monday
    Last rest: 30.03.

    Lyrics: no

    Oh dear Ale I had hoped you were beginning to recover!
    Lyrics..no.
    V quiet here yesterday.
    Emz...sounds quite a tough running day but enjoyable!
    Walk with friend shortly then covid Jag 2.
    Hopefully run this afternoon. Probably an easy one.
    Nice Stoke chat with 3 of the 4 offspring last night....but not the same as really seeing them.
    V foggy morning.
    Fingers crossed for a better day Ale.

    hazel if you over run its fine.  The people who do the exact k's will be at the top of the leader board followed by people who do it plus a bit more like me. I wont do the 1k because it doesnt tick the 1 mile streak saver for me.
    TBH its just a bit of fun with a bit of direction

    Afternoon!

    I seem to be hungry all the time, Wabo...and I'm not burning many calories!

    It had stopped raining so drove the mile to the nearest supermarket, quick shop and then walked for 20 minutes. Can't say that I felt great. Permanently tired as well as permanently hungry!

    Well summed up, OH!

    Keller: come and join us (and anyone else lurking!). I will add that it is a very supportive group, and a wide range of ages and abilities. 

    Managed to have a further potter in the garden as by late afternoon was feeling considerably better. Spent most of the time talking to neighbours though!

    Greetings from La Palma 😎 and sorry for being AWOL. Last couple of days at work were horrid and then I felt I needed a break from my phone 📱🙃

    So we got our test done on Thursday, received results on Friday, managed a haircut and survived a 5hr flight ✈️ with a mask 😷.

    It's a lovely place but running around wearing a mask in public sucks. You can take it off on the beach ⛱ but if you're out for a walk or ging to the beach it's mandatory. Doesn't make a lot of sense 🤷🏼‍♀️. Anyway, it's wonderful to be in a different place for a change and the island really beautiful.

    Looks lovely chick but you've lost me at the 5 hour flight! Enjoy!
    8 mile walk this morning only 3m run this evening...not much else to report except was surprisingly social getting Jag...three nurses I knew doing them and all the theatre nurses coming for theirs. Felt wierd after not seeing folk for a while but in a nice way!
    Hope evening is good too Ale!

    Hiya
    Thanks Chick for the photos, you know how to make me jealous!!
    Wabo, Hazel - well done with the respective 5s
    OH - good work with the swim run double, plus DIY & a jab!
    Emz - envious of your XC sounds fun
    Els - good walking 
    Keller - welcome, do stick around

    What - 7 miles to Viccy Park
    Why - back in London 
    last rest - 10/10
    last hard - running along canals, the park is fun (if busy), but I don't like the towpaths...
    lyric - possible
    Mrs D got her covid jab notification (2 weeks time). No news from work, so my test on Friday means I am clean.
