Morning!
Lyrics: Think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is goin' away
Wonder what mode of transport the girl will be using.
What: easy run
Why: easy week

This hip, glute, back whatever it is is annoying me. I think it's gone, then it comes back.
Anyway gentle parkrun on Saturday pacing a friend, 14 km on Sunday. Missed club as hip was hurting, then did yoga for runners last night.
Will do 5km or so today.
I know the lyrics and would definitely have got row row row, a firm favourite here.
Need to go back and see what's happened with ale's MRI...
Ale good news about the MRI, Dustin, your train journey made me laugh. Wabo which baby is this and how are they?
mmm not sure the mode of transport but I know the song..
Emzap it is my son and wife's 4th and they say last!! baby has been losing weight and they are now saying my dil needs to supplement with formula which I know will upset her cos se has fed all three so far. But she lost a lot of blood and they feel maybe that's not helping. sorry to hear your having aches!
Ale good about MRI
hazel I know what you mean about slower running, believe it or not ha ha - any running would be good right now
ale enjoy the run
what: up to 3 later
why: I miss it!!
Last hard: 19/2
last rest: 22/2
I know why I streak run - if I don't I end up with too many days that I just don't bother!! 1 run only since 10/2
Ale - ah, an easy week! sounds idyllic!
Emz - keep things easy for now, and keep up the yoga/stretching!
Wabo - 4 kids? Lunacy...hope they get the right supplements for the formula.
Hazel - I hear you with the running paces and sometimes it's "hard" to run at that pace. As an example, some of the "social" village group runs are at 8-9 min/ks, I just opt out of those.
What - Double easy: 8 shortly, 4 later coaching village group.
Why - work & time & fitting things in
last rest - 14/10
last hard - Yesterday. just short of 11 miles in total including 5 x 1k reps at around 4.15min/k pace. Happy with that and never felt I was struggling, held form and pace and arguably could've gone a bit quicker. I'll take that for now.
lyric - Yes indeed
A decent session yesterday, Dustin!
You need to start a new streak, Wabo! It works for me: if I missed a day I would miss several, I'm sure.
Hazel: can you come and pace me please? Around 6:30 kms please.
What: Forced myself out for just over 45 minutes
Why: trying to find runnable off road routes, with a fair degree of success. A couple of detours necessary but better even than yesterday. Rainy and windy the moment that I stepped out of the door!
Was taking an easy week and had thought about popping down to The Smoke to run LFoM...until I tried to buy a ticket this morning. No standard fares but I could have a first class for £150+. No thank you! And services are not at all reliable at present in any case, so I will stick to the decorating and plodding a few kms. The decorating is getting to my knees and hips: kneeling or on my side doing the skirting or the bottom half of doors etc.
Good you encouraged the returnee, Hazel. 7 min ks is indeed slow and required a different running form. I occasionally do that with my husband. Post heart-attack he can only do very short, very slow runs (the beta blockers are preventing heart rate flexibility) so his running is my power walking pace.
Enjoy the double, Dustin. Speedy ks!
Hope they can sort the little one out, wabo. I hear y re. streaking. I was like that with my 10k steps a day challenge. Once I broke the streak after Covid jab #3 I had a number of days when I just though sod it. I've been back into it since Jan. 1st though.
Good to see you, Em.
No idea re. lyrics today.
Another MLR done - this is P&D sadist week: Back to back longish runs. So yesterday's 13 was followed by at 15 today. I was unbelievably slow but I got it done. Couple of walk/strech breaks were required though. Because it's still windy I went to our parkrun course and ran a little shy of 10 laps there. It's sheltered by trees and some buildings break the worst of the wind. The path was muddy and wet though and jogged around puddles and over really wet grass on a few occasions.
Ale didn't know about mri glad it's positive news. Hope future scans remain so
I can do slow roundabouts 8 min km pacethough this does include brief walk breaks and not really doing more than 5km ATM.
Though I am about 2 stone heavier than I was when I ran lots older too
What: 3 miles
Why: building up
Lasthard: today after 2 night shifts 😴 did it in 40 minutes the same time as Sundays 5km I can live with that
