.. this xmas party lark is addictive! 3 so far this *week* and at least 2 more to go!
What: Quick 4-miler.
Why: Partied tonight and will party tomorrow night. Dehydration will be setting in, but I have to go run!
Last hard: Will doubtless be today, even tho the mileage is small, simply due to the state I'll be in!
Last rest: Yesterday.
Comments
Why: driving to London tomorrow.
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: y/day
Why: Race tommorow
Last Hard: Thursday
Last Rest: Monday
Just departing now, see you all in 1/2 an hour.
Last hard: two weeks ago
Last rest: don't - feeling a bit tubby and it's not even Christmas yet!
Good luck to all
Why: Umm.... ?
Rest: Yesterday
Hard: Tue?
Have fun, everyone.
what : 3 mile easy after work later on
why : first run in over a week due to injured foot. swelling down and movement seems to be ok so i'm going to test it with a short easy run.
last hard : over a week ago
last rest : too many
if all goes well today and i expect it will, we be turning out in Coalite 10km in Bolsover tommorow, but will take it steady i think.
Last hard: yesterday - although I have to report the session did not go as planned... 2x2miles was quickly rethought as 4x1mile and quickly rethought again as 4x1km! (of which I am ashamed to say I only managed 2 1/2) No excuses except for overindulgence the night before
CONGRATS on your FLM place that is great news.
What: 19 miler
Why: I'm out on the razz again tonight, (pre-Christmas bash with a couple of old mates) basically necessitating doing Sundays long run today, otherwise no chance of doing it tomorrow with a screaming hagover.
Last hard run: Today
Last rest day: Firday
Having a screaming hagover would basically mean that my mother-in-law had turned up early this year!
why: A chance to run in a race with my son - not that I ever saw him as a result of his 3 minute start!
last hard day: Tue
last long day: Sun
last rest day: Fri (but nowhere near enough sleep overnight)
Why: first run for 10 days because of a cold.
Last hard run: Dec 1
Last rest days: Dec5th-12th.
Congratulations on your flm place Compass Kath! I was lucky to get a club place too this week - do you feel therefore, like me, honour-bound to make a good go of it??
Wee piglet - I think I'd rather do a long run than get waxed!
What: 13.5 miles, two loops and tried to do second loop faster than the first. Absolutely knackered now, could feel the after effects of yesterday by the final few miles.
Why: No choice, must say the idea of running twice this distance in April at a faster pace feels laughable at the moment. How come you're already at 19 miles Marmite Master??
Last hard: yesterday, but today felt hard too.
Last rest: Thurs, another one coming up tomorrow I think.
as for Lady Penelope - steady on there, m'lady! now you've got your FLM place you've started out-training everyone else on the forum. glad to hear you're thinking of a rest day tomorrow.
what: 6 x 1mile @ 10K pace and faster off 60 sec. recoveries; 2mile warm-up/1mile down.
why: oh you know, the usual reason.
last rest: Monday.
last hard day: Thursday, sort of.
Now I know I can have an FLM place I'm tempted . . what's really holding me back are the domestic issues it'll raise. Ah well, nice problem to have I guess!
An FLM place AND a rejection fleece!! Are we allowed to do that? :-)
Anyway . .
what: 6 miles hilly
why: Connemarathon 30th March
last rest: yesterday
last hard day: Lisbon Marathon 1st December
next: Forumites 10 miler tomorrow at Windsor
Well done Compass Kath with your FLM place!
This Xmas lark doesn't half interfere with my running! What with parties and shopping and visitors.....
What: 10 miles with middle 4 miles at 10k pace. Don't know how I managed when I must surely still have been under the influence of alcohol. Felt much better after though!
Why: this week I'm just trying to keep some running going as it's definitely my busiest in terms of parties etc. I shall log it as an easy week, if you can class drinking and dancing 'til 2am easy!
Last hard: today
Last rest: yesterday.
What: Full body workout on weights
Why : Coz thats what I do on sat
Last Hard : Yesterday
Last Rest : Thursday
Laters people.
What: am 8M easy recovery run.
What: pm 8M at marathon pace felt very comfortable indeed.
Why: Possibly Taunton marathon but planning to smash by 1/2 PB at Paddock Wood in march.
Last hard: Thursday's hill session in the mud.
Last Rest: Fri had a 45min massage.
Tonight finish bottle of red wine!
Make sure your MP3's ready for tomorrow (bet you've already done it!), enjoy your evening and look forward to your (non lunatic infested woods) run in the morning.
And as you head south afterwards you'll feel fine coz you'll have had such a great start to the day!!
(You're not headed towards Windsor are you?)
Not the same without it!!
My version of a long run
One hour in the wet and rain, around the estate(boring but safe)
About 5.5 miles i think
Its a start
Have realised that if I'm going to attempt to follow the RW 100 day half marathon schedule in time for Paddock Wood, today's the day to start! So:
What: 3 miles easy
Why: Always start schedules with good intentions
Last hard: Oh dear last Sunday
Last rest: Thursday
I was toying with the idea of running 1/2M distance and NOT ONE OF YOU thought to mention that it would be rather unpleasant!
Well, a lot of it was fun - didn't like the last few miles though. And you people who run twice as far.... madness!!
So, next time it looks like I may be about to do something daft, let me know!!!!!
;-)
I'm not aiming for Windsor, I'm afraid: I'm going to Harrow Weald (guitar fixing) and then Edgware (curry, plus guitar listening with pals :-)
My piccy is being updated. A RW photographer came round the other day to take a new piccy of Wee Piglet in The Sty under Christmas conditions, so a suitably festive piccy is on the way. THanks for asking :-) I like your new piccy! Tres swish :-)
will be tring out my new puma cell at windsor with the rest of the southern softies tomorrow...
Why: Fierce chest infection for last two weeks.
Almost didn't get out at all but pleased I did. Glad I didn't push it, as not coughing so think I've got away with it. Nice to be back.
Have fun party people
Why: easy day
Last hard day: yesterday
Last rest day: Wednesday
Hilly, I am shocked at you. I normally look to you to uphold standards of sobriety and moderation on the forum. It's just been a front all along, hasn't it?
As for some of the presents exchanged, well..........
