Thursday 28th October 2021 She's my lady love

Morning!

Lyrics: She's my lady love
she is my dove
my baby love

Yesterday's: Marlene Dietrich - Lili Marlene. Lots of other versions including Vera Lynn. Today's are of a similar vintage!

We need to decide where to go with lyrics...certainly until December...

What: short run, stretches

Why: ran quicker yesterday. Warm but windy with heavy rain forecast

    Morning

    Interesting how many people on here have learnt some German at school in the past.  Certainly wasn't a popular subject at mine (standard comprehensive) and it was around the time when you could avoid doing languages at all (mid 80's to early 90's).

    Take some shower gel out on your run Ale?  Good to see you doing some speed yesterday.

    Hope your head is better today Chicksta.

    Goal is any sort of PB.. (3:26:5x currently).  Conservative would be 3:25, great would be 3:20.  I predict somewhere between the two but obviously I need to run it first.

    Annoying regarding your work schedule Els.  Thanks for the ultra medical feedback.

    Stable weight sounds good to me Els and Wabo.

    45 minutes of running = one slice of cake Dustin?

    Hope your friend enjoyed the joint run yesterday Wabo.

    What: rest day runningwise
    Why: taper
    Last rest: 28.10.21
    Last hard: nearly didn't get the run done yesterday as I had a meeting dropped on me.. Was thankfully finished as planned, partly because I said that I was all geared up to go out for a run. (Thanks boss and customer).

    Lyrics: no

    Ale: You would say Nochmals guten Morgen :)

    German sucks - I'm glad I didn't have to learn it. English is comparatively easy, so is Spanish. French I struggled a bit more with. 

    Hazel: I'm picturing you in a Teams Conference in full running gear, eager to get out ;) 

    I think I know those lyrics. 

    I managed to nip to the gym around lunchtime to do a fast-ish 5k on the treadie and some weights. Like Ale I rellay need to get out of my comfort zone more. 

    Today was 9 miles very slow. I got my lazy behind out of bed too late so I had no time to sip my coffee in peace. Instead I quickly switched pyjamas for running gear and ran more or less straight out of bed. That was hard and it doesn't suit me but needs must. There's surely some benefit in this, at least I hope so :)

    Hiya
    Languages was pretty good at my (very average) school: French from first year seniors, although I'd done 2 years at junior school already. Then either German or Latin from 2nd year seniors. I chose the former. 
    O Levels in both, did French to A level. 
    Both my daughters did French & Spanish (& Mandarin). Eldest took Spanish to A level. 

    Wabo - well done yesterday, enjoy the "me" time
    Hazel - good to have a target. You've certainly done the training.
    Chick - enjoy the 9
    Ale - Hope you dodged the rain

    What - 7 miles including 8x400 continuous hill efforts, kids coaching tonight
    Why - About time I built up a sweat...
    last rest - 14/10
    last hard - that was
    Comfortably so, but certainly running ragged on the cool down...
    lyric - nope

    Afternoon!

    What: run whilst re-measuring cross country course

    Why: Uni relays on Saturday and am putting the course out tomorrow and am trying to get the lap to as near as 3k as possible. Saves measuring it whilst I am putting the course out!

    Plus a fair bit of cross training in the garden.

    Some people have the knack of languages, and wish I was one! German A level plus French and Latin O level, and a smattering of Spanish. All largely forgotten. My daughter teaches French and Spanish, and speaks German and Portuguese, also. As a hobby she is collecting different Spanish languages: Castilian, Catalan, Basque, Galician amongst others! Jealous father! Thanks for the German lesson, Chick!


    That sounds a tough session, Dustin
