morning all Paddy - nice that you get to use a 50m pool! RFJ - decent k reps Birks - enjoy the indoors what - easy , if anything why - Southern Counties XC tomorrow last rest - Dec last hard - Wednesday
LmH - probably be a later start - Saturdays normally have to be at the pool for 6:15 for youngest's training. Her XC race tomorrow is middayish, but parking at Parly Hill isn't the best. Think the senior/vet men go off about 3, so I should be finished in daylight...
What: possibly 10 km, possibly rest Why: there was a lot of snow when I left this morning. None at work though, so we'll see what it looks like when I get home. Snow + dark is not good. Last hard: Tuesday was pretty hard Lyrics: familiar, but not sure
Wabo I'm glad the doc has given you some exercises. Let's hope they work. Dibs How are you feeling today? Enjoy the chocolate bar of your choice
Emzap- Each day is better than the last I think. Hard to tell, work is keeping me distracted, plus keeps me aware that I am actually capable.
Decided to buy a triathlon bike with the money now not going on elective. Will be my first racing/tri bike. Anyone have any suggestions on brands/do and don't for buying? I think I will have around a grand to play with.
Dibs - if it were me I'd go for a road bike and clip on bars. The most important thing is fit so go to a proper bike shop and take some advice - or pay for a bike size at a Retul fitter or similar. Having the set up right makes a huge difference.
OH - I envy you your fire but not your weather.
Don't send any our way emzap/chickadee!
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
Hummm managed 5 miles rather than the 6.2 as although I got home early and it was still light, it was too slippery to run once it got dark. Anyway, better than nothing. Meant to reach the dizzy heights of -6 tomorrow. Think I'll hide inside!
OH that is pretty windy... Dibs ohhh a shiny new toy to play with
Working from home, but with a significant challenge of (dis)organisation that needed resolving. This meant that all I could do was sit still, on the phone and laptop, getting progressively colder. I really wanted to get a short steady run done, but now the rain's set in and the evening's activities have caught up.
Still, it looks like I'll be getting a bike ride tomorrow. It's been a while.

Afternoon all,

Hi Guys,
What: Rest day + half day at work (Yay).
lyrics: No, but sounds 'pop' like.
Emzap- Each day is better than the last I think. Hard to tell, work is keeping me distracted, plus keeps me aware that I am actually capable.
Decided to buy a triathlon bike with the money now not going on elective. Will be my first racing/tri bike. Anyone have any suggestions on brands/do and don't for buying? I think I will have around a grand to play with.
will you just ride or is it tri only?
Actually 40 gusting 55 kts (44 - 60 mph)
fire lit and not going out again
Gobi- Ride and tri. Is it a better option to get a racing bike and then get areo bars?
Afternoon
A lovely day here - if you are a skier fresh powdery snow and minus 6 degrees. Perfect conditions for a tempo run --- NOT!!

why: see above
last hard: coming to terms that winter is here to stay for a while
last rest: Monday
lyrics: yes!!
Have a nice weekend all.

I think hopefully the back is responding to the exercises, please please...
Dustin I am over Parly Hill tomorrow too
oh, sounds lovely 'fire lit and not going out'!
emzap I was delighted my doctor gave me exercises tbh!
think I know the lyrics
what: 3 miles and back exercises done first thing this morning
why: need to run and back needs the other!
last hard: this morning
last easy: yesterday
have a good weekend all
Sounds promising Wabo.
Dibs - if it were me I'd go for a road bike and clip on bars. The most important thing is fit so go to a proper bike shop and take some advice - or pay for a bike size at a Retul fitter or similar. Having the set up right makes a huge difference.

I hear ya LMH- so many options!
Hummm managed 5 miles rather than the 6.2 as although I got home early and it was still light, it was too slippery to run once it got dark. Anyway, better than nothing. Meant to reach the dizzy heights of -6 tomorrow. Think I'll hide inside!
OH that is pretty windy...
Dibs ohhh a shiny new toy to play with
Evening!
Lyrics: no
Just wet and windy here, Emz...although not on the OH scale of wind!
What: just 2k
Why: turn legs over. Long run tomorrow (a relative term...60 mins or thereabouts)
Grr/Brr
