A lovely SOC and with the sunrise now a lot earlier - I only need my headtorch for the first half of my run! woohoo!
Birky - I'm alright. Finally recovered from the flu and trying to get ready for my next quad this weekend.
A lovely 10k this morning with Boyska. Was really beautiful weather and i'm glad I made myself 10 minutes later but running a little longer. I needed it!
I got up yesterday morning at 3.30am to leave the house for 4am. 17.4 mile run around my town before finishing up at my workplace 2 and a half hours later for a 10 hour shift! Finished the day with 49,000 steps as in my job your on your feet a lot. Sore legs at the end of the day.
Morning all - hour on the turbo for me, nice day out visiting clients in the Sussex countryside today, I've been spending too much time in London recently. That sounds like a long old day Jonathan, I bet you slept well after that. Another long weekend in Kent Emmy?
evening all... nice little recovery run this morning on deeply complaining legs! Quads felt like they had been whacked for hours with a stick, but after a mile or two started to ease off a bit.
Emmy, where in Kent are you doubling?
Jonathan - that's a serious day's training/working!
Gobi, you're a machine!
Kate - always good to visit the country and get out of the big smoke!!
Time to take a short walk up the wooden hill I think. Nite all.
Morning all - morning birky. What a sunrise this morning. Turbo again after a walloping at track last night, 9.5 miles total and a hard old pyramid session.
Kate: Yeah it was a cracking dawn and it was great being out. The Eastern sky was full of pinks, white clouds and blues. There was a half moon and a frost on the ground.

Ranscombe spring double this weekend for me PSC. Are you around? How are your legs now?
Gobi - When's that?... it was to be expected right?
5.30 - You love it really
Maths - next month! It's the fowlmead challenge in Kent (25. April for those interested and fancy eating their weight in cake..)
Emmy - wish I could be there but with work the next day Kent is a bit far for me
Gobi - good luck, you better get to the pool!
well, feeling better now if still a bit sneezy, so slow run this morning to remind my legs what running is, and as swimming has been cancelled tonight (heating issues) did a turbo instead
RIP Terry Pratchett - a great author and interesting person
Maths - How are you feeling after the turbo? Nice NW - I haven't seen a toad in years!
Kate/5.30 - enjoy Thames Meander!
Gobi - That's a worry about the junction. Is it a known troublespot?
A NOC (6.45) for me today. Lovely to run in the sun and although it was a bit chilly it was lovely. 10k taper done for the quad. I wont be back online til Wednesday/Thursday so have a great weekend everyone
Emmy - I am good. Probably too late to wish you luck for the quad but I think I already did anyway
I am finding there are more and more people that drive badly! Monday morning I got a shock as I was driving to school - a nasty accident on the road and as I drove past I saw that it was a young guy from work that had been hit by an idiot, luckily there was a layby so I could stop and stay with him till the ambulance arrived. He is ok, badly bruised and very sore, car written off....all because and idiot came out of a junction straight into him. Good job he was in a car and not on a bike or he probably wouldn't be here

Excellent! Is that the June or the August one, I hope it's June as I'm doing that one.
Expected..... not when they first informed me I think I threw a curve ball when I answered that I was going so may as well enter.
People are worried
So swimming ...........
So much for retirement

Nice NW MC. See you on Saturday 5.30.
This morning I may as well have been swimming as I got so wet on the bike but still 100 minutes done so all is good.
Felt lazy as I didnt go out until 0555 but the daylight I am rewarded with is nice.
Not for the first time this week I was nearly hit by someone coming out of a junction.
Maths - How are you feeling after the turbo? Nice NW - I haven't seen a toad in years!
Kate/5.30 - enjoy Thames Meander!
Gobi - That's a worry about the junction. Is it a known troublespot?

Just having a look in between my post office night shifts.
Will catch up eventually, probably tomorrow.
Working all next week at the SECC. Then same again the following week.

I would guess not just knobs who don't look
