Morning!
Lyrics: there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
The end of the first line onwards.
Seeing physio for advice later about what I can or cannot do.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Forgot to post yesterday. Tuesday's lyrics were Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen.
Hope the physio finds you something to do Ale.
Loved the star pic from Tuesday Chicksta.
15m trail race sounds like a good plan Els - not even half of your recent ultra - should be a doddle!
Good to see you with some race plans too Wabo - enjoy that extra fitness. Mother's Day dinner sounded lovely. Hope the curry helped with the cold a bit.
Well done on the reps the other day Dustin. I guess it helps to have the group to pull you along and not be tempted to drop a rep or two.
What: hills workout planned - moderate slope (400m) at a decent effort - will see how many reps I can manage
Why: easing back into some harder efforts and am toying with the idea of the hill race series I used to do (starts in April)
Last rest: 25.02.2024
Last hard: watching other races I used to do pass by without me taking part, but I know it wouldn't go well at the moment
Lyrics: no
Chick - well done on the 20 yesterday
Hazel - ohh hills, nice!
Ale - hope Physio has some positive advice
What - 2 x shorter efforts: ran in from London Bridge to the Wharf (4.2 miles). Kids coaching later, so a few easy miles extra
Why - fitting it in
Last rest - 21/09
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - not so sure
Yesterday's were "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn" - Beastie Boys
Curry didn't really help hazel, I couldn't taste it 😂
Feel quite rough today tbh
Nice running Dustin
Hazel do a couple of hills for me, I can't do them today
Ale hope physio was ok
What walk with mates, trying to summon the energy for 1 mile
Why streak
Last hard yesterday
Last rest 28 12 22
Dustin: I ran in that area a lot when I was at Credit Suisse. Those were the days ...
Hill series sounds good, Hazel. Just enter it without timing/placing and run on feel. My best races were those with no expectations. They were also all trail races
Hopefully the physio had some ideas, Ale.
A little over 11k done. 17 degrees today - wow!
Sun/Mon/Tue nights left me fairly tired so decided a few days recovery after a heavy weekend running was sensible and didn't run Mon, Tue or Wed.
Sports massage this morning then run this afternoon - felt great after a few days off. Alternated 1 mile at tempo pace (around 7:10-7:20) with 1 mile around what I hope will be marathon pace (7:40-7:50) for 8 miles. 10 miles total in about 77 mins and felt easier than I'd expected so I'm hoping it's a sign that things are starting to peak/come together at the right time for London.
Enjoyed the pics of running/mud/stars
Hope the physio has some suggestions that you can do Ale
Warm Chick - we got up to 13 a few days ago but back to single digits since and pouring rain today
Wabo - maybe it needs to be spicier.
Dustin - annoyed I didn't pick up on yesterday's lyrics, good tune
How did the hills go Hazel?
Lyrics yes
Ale hope the physio helps.
Sorry I missed a few days.
Circuits Tuesday, 5km yesterday. Walk to town and back today (about 5km)
Warning, long report incoming
So the Ultra in the Black Country. I was meant to be running this with friends, all of whom pulled out so I ended up running on my own. It's 52 km along canals and railways of the Black Country. It's way marked so no navigation required.
Busy couple of days combined with P being unwell yesterday with dodgy tummy and granny duties. Son has jaut arrived for the weekend and youngest daughter tomorrow, baked birthday cake tonight
Hope physio useful Ale and good running rest of you. Bedtime!
