Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake

easy run in the morning before a tougher sesion in the evening at the track, hopefully new spikes will arrive so I'll have plenty fo time to test them about before Sunday.
Anyone else got county champs this weekend?

I've got up to run but don't have the energy or desire. Very tired and apathetic. I'll go to work early (by bike, so some exercise there) so I can leave early and maybe (just maybe) run tonight before I have company for the evening.
Won't be able to run tomorrow as I have to go to Birmingham for the day.
I obviously need a schedule to follow so I feel I can't miss a run!
I'm up early for a 12 hour shift....
What: either an hour on the turbo or a 3-4 mile run when I get home
Why: tri training
Last hard: yesterday's long run
Last rest: tuesday
Hvae a good day all.

Bambi Legs - Yes,it seems like an easy week or two might do the trick.
Gary - Scary stuff indeed,take it easy.
PH - Look after yourself.
Pammie - Go for that marathon

What: About 10 miles - new running route - I'll have to measure it - feeling a little tired now.
Why: Husband has been walking as far as I have been running the last couple of days so thought I'd up it a bit, so now he has kayaked for 2 hrs. Think he's keeping me honest!
Have a good day.
Hipps and other under-the-weather peeps, hope you feel better soon.

What: I will go for a swim (probably possibly maybe)

Lyrics: Slips to 1 out of 10
What: 7 miles in a moment (EID Holiday)
Why: Baby DD will be asleep soon!
Last Hard: Last night
Ran my first sub 45min 10K for 3 years last night and that what happens when you decide to run with the youngsters at the front!
Scheduled rest day, so I can post that now!
Bryn, you up early studying or something? Students these days, I just don't know!
((Mava)) I'm not at all sure it's a schedule that you need. Everything you write on here shows a real keenness to get out, train. You feel washed out and apathetic, and ascribe it to laziness, or some lack of discipline. I doubt it.
I think I understand some part. All those years when friends, relations and the medical community were inclined to think I was lazy, malingering, hysterical or all of the above, nobody was more inclined to judge me harshly than myself. It didn't help. If I have learned anything from those years, it is to trust my own senses: if I feel washed out and tired, then I am washed out and tired, and while I probably can beat myself into a short period of activity, the overall effect will be undoubtedly a bad one.
You've had rather a basinful of frustration and disappointment over the last few months. The discrepancy between the training you want to do and your energy levels tends to lead to more frustration. My experience is that such frustration only exacerbates existing illness/low energy problems. What are your plans for the spring? Any chance you can take a step back, regroup and build back up again?
so ...
WHAT :
- AM - Swim, just 30 or 40 mins
- PB - Run - about 60 mins plus some stretcing
WHY : Club nite
LAST REST : Week gone Monday
Have fun all
What: 6 miles
Why: Half tapering
Last rest: Yesterday
Last hard: Sunday
Hippo - no, but I'm seeing my GP tomorrow hopefully to get my protein all clear and maybe the result of the swab. Still v chesty today though.
Pammie: if you'd like a spring/early summer 'thon, what about Copenhagen in late May? You'll be well looked after; the list so far includes RichK, Trinity, Adverse Camber, Steady, CR, me and sundry others. The forumites at CPH always get together the day before and again after the race and it's a brilliant event now.
good race you did at weekend dustin, well done.
hope you really are ok gary, not nice that
lyrics - yes!
what - rest day. will do some gym and weights
why - due
wet and horrible
I've got Wokingham Half and Reading Half booked and I'm looking at either Kingston 16 or Paddock Wood for early April. Apart from that I haven't got plans except maybe to try to bring my 10k pb down a little.
But I am actually quite enjoying having a bit of a life again, rather than focusing just on training. My holiday was just what I needed and I have interesting developments occuring in both personal life and work life so I'm not beating myself up too much!
Snaps, good to hear you a bit more positive. I'll have a look at Rich's site.
What: very pleasant 5.5 miles this morning in the sunshine. Just back from a swim at the beach. I really don't want to come home!
Good effort in the XC race from Dustin.
Frightening stuff Gary, hope all turns out to be well.
Energy drinks.. Tesco currently have the Powerade stuff on a BOGOF offer. I already have a modest stockpile.
am.. 4 miles d&d

What: 8 x 800m, off 1min

Last rest: sunday
