Morning!

Lyrics: There’s big boats and wee boats ands all kinds of craft
Puffers and keel boats and some with no raft
With the wind in your face there’s no finer place, 
Than...

Taken from the first verse. Nobody near me will be doing what the title says!

What: really don't know. 

Why: the weather. Flood at the end of the road. Gale force winds: one of my windows was blown off its hinges and is propped shut. Need the wind to drop to repair it.

Yesterday's lyrics were Midnight Train to Georgia, Gladys Knight and The Pips
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning

    Doesn't sound like weather for running or repairs Ale :/

    Nasty conditions for working at the XC, Dustin.

    Hope you get out for a run today Els and Wabo.

    Have a good start to the week all.

    What: walk and turbo
    Why: running rest day
    Last hard: sleeping
    Last rest: 21.2.22

    Lyrics: no

    Hiya
    sounds bad Ale, youngest heading back today (home for a few days), she said there was local flooding
    What - something 
    Why - sanity
    last rest - 14/10
    last hard - dealing with South West Rail

    Got train into London (or so I thought...) - checked website and that stated all trains cancelled across the network today.
    Called them to find out about trains going home. They said there are no services on the line today.
    I asked them how is that possible when I physically got on one to travel in, They assured me there were no services running. So clearly I travelled 50 miles by sheer power of imagination.....

    I think I should know the lyrics
    Pammie I like that idea 20:22! Nice one
    Dustin I hear you re sanity hope you get some today! 
    Hazel enjoy the walking and turbo
    Ale did you manage anything?
    What I won't get a run in
    Why baby has to go in overnight I think, losing weight still
    Last hard hearing that
    Last rest 20/2
    I think she's only jaundiced, though why they didn't sort it last week I don't know (midwife not parents) 
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can

    Afternoon!

    Hope baby is ok Wabo. Definitely get her to hospital.

    Good work Pammie! 

    Are you running home Dustin! Hope your young one gets home safely!

    Just back from a 25 minute run, with photo stops to see where it is possible to run. Most of my usual routes will be inaccessible for a while I suspect. Probably take an easy week which I am probably due anyway.

    Legs feel a bit battered but I think that is from decorating not running!

    The sports ground at the end of my road. The water was up to the rugby cross bar earlier.

    Ale, sounds bad round your way, hope flooding receeds quickly!
    Wabo, hope little Margot is on the mend soon. Not nice to have them in hospital.
    not bad weather here, cool and a bit windy. Just done 7m, not fast but OK.
    Going to see Belfast tonight.
    Hope at least imaginary trains are free, but I'll guess not!

    Safe travels, Els.

    Wabo: sounds a bit worrying. I hope they can sort her out 🙏🏼

    That's crazy, Dustin. How are you getting home?

    Stick with it, Pammie. The wind is horrible indeed.

    Hope you can fix that window, Ale. The train is jus crazy. Everything is waterlogged.

    Enjoy your cross training, Hazel.

    Running rest day for me too although I ran one mile as a leg loosener and then did some strength work.

    Fingers crossed Dustin makes it home again this evening.

    Like the idea of the 20:22 run Pammie - might try that out myself.  Not necessarily at full effort, the same distance out and back is actually an interesting variant for improving pace discipline. 

    Sorry to hear Margot isn't thriving Wabo - hope she picks up soon.

    Ups, that looks a bit damp Ale and Chicksta.  Ale definitely wins the large puddle contest though.

    Enjoy the film Els.
