I was up early but in the rush to enter Brass Monkey didn't get round to starting the thread before heading off to do the weekly shop before it became unbearably busy.
Good luck to postie and GGG - anyone else racing this weekend?
What: nothing Why: Abingdon tomorrow Last hard: doing nothing on a weekend morning Last rest: 16/10
Lyrics - no.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
What: A very misty Richmond parkrun. Why: Always try and go if I haven't had a late night. Also had a newbie with me, a convert from Thursday's Home Run. Last hard: Monday. Last rest: Yesterday.
What: 0.5 mile (OW) swim folloowed by 7.55 mile run Why: It's Saturday Last Hard: Today Last rest: Yesterday Lyrics: No
Have to confess I looked and found no thread at 9am but was too shy to start it off Torrential rain through the night but bright and sunny this morning. Lovely swim by the 3rd Churchill Barrier followed by 7.5 mile run around Burray. Running with a friend of similar pace but I think we were both pushing each other on.
Well done to the Park runners Adam and GGG Run well and enjoy tomorrow LMH
Birkmyre: Missed the lyrics to Layla...my favourite part of the song is the sublime piano solo at the end of the extended version. Like most bedroom guitarists I can just about manage the famous riff. Todays lyrics spotted instantly, to be fair that song isn't representitive of their output.
3Gs: hope you enjoyed your Parkrun this morning.
Still feeling pretty battered after Thursdays session. Did the club run this morning but was tailed off the back. The first 8M was just about OK as a couple dropped back to keep me company. I was determined to get to 14M so I snuck off on my own as I didn't want to be a burden....the Captain Oates syndrome. Time on feet and all that.
Tom: what is the age/gender profile of the group you run with? Not surprised you struggled today after Thursday's track? Not that I can remember what a track is.
OH: I take it LMH was referring to the swim! What do you wear?
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
Alehouse - just the necessary (Speedos) ... and knew quite well LMH was referring to the swim. We've had this discussion before! She doesn't know what she's missing
OH: tender! Getting the hang of using the crutches (mustn't speak too soon!)!trying to keep leg elevated most of the time plus a few gentle stretches using theraband. And when I'm not twiddling my thumbs I'm twiddling my toes! Trying to be good: I have even turned down a lift to a hostelry in HM tomorrow evening!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
Emzap: feeling a bit battered and bruised, which is to be expected. Am a bit concerned that things are a bit inflamed and hot. This may be normal but will try and see one of my GP friends tomorrow.
And talking of tomorrow, looking forward to the Abo reports!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
What... Beautiful early morning run along the river, and through the woods - with all those autumn colours. 9.5 miles largely gentle, but with some faster 4x600m repeats thrown in.
Why - last significant run before next week's maiden marathon.
Last hard... well, today had some hard bits in those repeats.
Last rest... unfortunately Wed-Fri. One day longer than I'd planned.
Good luck the Little Miss Happy and Postie and any other running Abingdon.
alehouse - hope everything is o'kay.
Tom - you are going really well with your running, great progress.
RFJ - great runs from you and your son.
What: No run
Why: Still not well
We had the the last event of the world tri champs this weekend. The women raced in good conditions, bit miserable here today, (now Sunday my time). The age-groupers race Monday. Our main business area has been shut down for these events. Great TV coverage. Husband, daughter and gdaughters went to watch. I watched with my son from the comfort of the couch!
I missed this yesterday but if the lyrics are what I think they are, the guitarist of this band is a pretty decent fell runner, at least he beat the pants off me a few weeks ago!
