  • Morning dustin and LMH

  • Morning,

    Heavy day today. Doubt I'll get running.

    LMH - it's Brighton for me.

    What: probably nothing

    Why: Lots of intermittent work to do

    Lyrics.  No

    Have a good Friday.

    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...

    Morning

    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?

    Have a good one!

  • 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.

     

  • GobiGobi ✭✭✭
    dibs - options are huge



    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 image

    A lovely day here - if you are a skier image  fresh powdery snow and minus 6 degrees. Perfect conditions for a tempo run --- NOT!!

    what: 7 slow miles
    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.

  • WaboWabo ✭✭✭

    afternoon

    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 

     

    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • 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.

    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.
  • I hear ya LMH- so many options! 

  • emzapemzap ✭✭✭

    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 image

  • 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)

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • Grr/Brr

    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.
