4 mile recovery run today...which seemed to do the opposite. Top of my leg's been hurting all afternoon. Not ideal.
YTD: 489
MrMr2 a simple five miles sounds fab.
Cal sorry to hear about your leg, do you have a physio?
Donnie have I missed you going away?
A slow steady run this morning, managed to be back before the rain started.

Good to see you back TT & Hobie. Our younger daughter did her post grad at Warwick - she loved it there too.
Cal, 10,000m was my favourite distance (back in the day). Sub 8 minutes is good - at the Birmingham mile, Sneh Kaur (daughter of one of our club runners won the kiddies race in 8:13 - she is six years old - not going to challenge her any time soon.
Well done Donnie.
Hope Dubai is recovering well.
MrM2, am struggling to keep up with you - tomorrow is polling duties so using it as rest day.

TT: I haven't been away but I few social events are gradually impacting on running opportunities. For example out of tea tomorrow night with an ex colleague and Sunday is a family gathering to celebrate my brother in laws birthday. In lock down I could run all the time!
Ytd:426.0
Less so here, but still on target. April was another 100 mile month, so now on:
443.4 YTD
Harmander I hope you enjoyed that rest day??
Alehouse well done with the consistency.
A lovely run in the sun this morning, first outing for the shorts of the year for a training run. Now cold again and back with the coat ......
YTD: 567.3
EG: 9795
Alehouse... Thanks. Your running is going well; keeping to the schedule.
TT.... Shorts! Have to say that I'm almost always in shorts for my running...even if I'm in hat and gloves, and up to three layers on top. (Southern softy!)
Went to the local parkrun this morning. Results have confused me; my Garmin took me over 30 mins but the official time was 29:49. Either way, I've set myself a low bar for future parkruns at my new age (but same age group). Age grading was only 67%. A mile each way gives me 5 miles for the day. Shouldn't be surprised at the parkrun time as I ran 13 miles yesterday, and 9 miles the day before.
(Must remember the speed-work, but love the distances!? Will have to find a way to combine them.)
YTD: 668' .
TT...I was hot on my run today - sweating buckets - and then the cloud came over and it felt chilly again. I guess it's not summer yet eh?
Aldenham parkrun today despite an achey bum (thigh ache eased only to be replaced by that. I wish my bodyparts would just cooperate with each other!) Ran from the station there and then did the parkrun. Found someone from my area had also decided to run it and gave me a lift home, which was nice.
The parkrun itself was quite a nice one around a lake although the surface was lumpy bumpy and I ran a conservative 28:48. Still, that's all the parkruns within the M25 ticked off (until a new one starts, I guess)
YTD: 493
YTD: 501
Enjoyed some sunshine on my evening run. Kept it slow, and settled for 12 miles. (10:56/mile pace) Probably ought to be doing more runs at that sort of pace, but rarely do!
YTD: 680' .
My race on Saturday very much didn't go as well as I hoped...my first ever DNF.
I started nice and slow keeping someone company for the first couple of miles, I was then told to go and run my own race so not sure if I tried to up the speed a bit, looking at my pace, it was all over the place...lots of hills and at 17 miles I decided that the pain I was feeling in my chest was suggesting I was on the limit and I wasn't going to manage the last 7 miles (2 more hills). Managed 17 miles and 3,572ft of climbing.
593 miles YTD

Cal: completing all the park runs within the m25 seems to have slipped through unnoticed. Well done.
Hobie: glad there are no lasting effects from your dnf. Good to hear everything is fine.
I managed 5 on Friday, parkrun on Saturday and 10k last night.
Ytd: 440.3
Hobie, sorry to hear that, but it was sensible to stop if you were in pain. Take it easy!
6 miles today...body is still acting as though it has done a succession of 50 mile weeks instead of the 20-ish mile weeks it has actually done. It better get its shit together for tomorrow evening's race, is all I'm saying.
YTD: 507
YTD: 512
6.4 to add at 8 mpm pace

Going well Donnie, nice regular miles being logged.
Club run last night, nice hilly 6 miles with lovely views of the Teifi Estuary.
605 miles YTD

Unfortunately, right hammy's flared up (it's usually the left that's naughty, but this time right is being a bugger) so I won't be doing the mile race tonight. Trying to run as fast as possible with a dodgy ham is a recipe for disaster.
I'm very much one for running on the trails where possible; fortunately I have a river at the end of my road plus three trail parkrun courses alongside it! I do think about pace...usually to slow me down.
YTD: 469.84
Congrats. on passing 600' .
Cal... Well done on your trail run! Sorry that you've still got some 'complaining bits'.
Have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with various demands and unresolved issues (mainly related to Mrs M's care) so took three days out. (In the middle of that we had sad news from Brazil; a family member passed away in hospital..non-Covid condition. He was buried yesterday. They don't hang about there!)
Thought I'd try a range of paces, over a six mile run. Finished up with a bit of an indistinct mess!
YTD: 686' .
Rest day was good thank you TT.
Trying to stay with you too MrM2.
My late friend Ed Whitlocks record for Men 70+ broken recently. His was 2:54:49 but he was the first 70+ to dip under 3 hours.
Fauja Singh's 100m record also under threat - 'Fauja said good luck, records are there to be broken'. I told him to avid sounding like a broken record - sadly it doesn't translate very well into Punjabi and he didn't get it.
06/05 - 7.25

YTD = 682.92 miles.
Rest day today.
Sorry you're having more bad news, MrM2. I guess that's the thing with getting older - more people you know get ill and/or die. Not much fun.
I risked a parkrun today (after two days off - right hamstring unhappy and groin not much better) but stuck with my local one and took it easy (32 minutes). Mile warm-up first.
YTD: 516
We are thankful for every day, and try to make the most of our time.
Glad that you were still able to fit in a parkrun today, even if it was quite slow for you.
Avoided parkrun this morning but enjoyed getting out for 8 miles in the afternoon sunshine.
YTD: 694' .
Cal: hope the aches and pains subside. Well done on the parkrun.
Mr MM: full marks for finding time to run with everything else you have going on.
I did 5 on Thursday evening and park run this morning. 23.15.
Ytd: 459.7
Had really wanted to run longer this morning but had other duties. So, instead of running tomorrow decided to run again this evening. (Rain is forecast for tomorrow!)
Feeling quite refreshed after some stretches and a light massage, so set off to improve on the morning run. Happy to run 7' at 9:36/mile pace which is just under 6min/km pace. (Age-grade 70%)
YTD: 701' .
YTD: 522
Cal, hope hurty bits aren't holding you back too much.
A race I did pre Covid just popped up...might need to give it another go.
Early run for me today...was still warm.
615 miles YTD
Donnie the Humber Bridge HM is running, last weekend in June? I can't do it I am at a wedding, I now understand what you said earlier, in lockdown I did not need to concern myself with events like weddings........
MrMr2 I hope everything is as well as it can be, I can only imagine it is not easy to deal with things like that as distance. Well done on the 700.
Hobie congratulations on the 600. Child made any decisions about uni yet?
Cal how are you feeling this morning???
Harmander how's the weight challenge going????
So far doing well with the run, bike or swim but I did have to add walking last week as the weather was so bad in Cumbria! Trying to add a few hills, easy to do in Cumbria, slightly more difficult over here.
