Morning.
Lyrics - The best things in life are free
Madness Alehouse.
Don't suppose you'd consider resting until your marathon Donaldo? It sounds as though you're going to make it a very painful experience otherwise.
Your weight only counts on the last day before you start carb loading chicksta. Well done on getting it down there.
An early morning before the ceremony emzap?
Stick with it AF.
What: short and easy
Why: recovery/sanity/weight control - it's coffee and cake day
Last hard: not running more
Last rest: 28/9
Yesterday's lyrics - That's Just The Way It Is by Phil Collins.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Currently awaiting a certain magazine in the post, which will determine my next marathon.

Thanks OH, if I get in, fantastic; if not, may try my hand at the Manchester Marathon.
I think you need an autumn marathon to keep the blues at bay Oliver!
morning
What: 1 mile run
Why: Tapering and legs dead
Last hard: today
Lyrics : No
Legs and body were someone else's not mine so canned run after a mile as did not want to put body under stress.
Oliver: Hope you get the right magazine if not plenty of others to do
OH Enjoy your run
LMH enjoy the cake
Miles makes smiles.

hello all,
Oh yes, rejection eagerly anticipated, my 20th application over the past 22 years, will I add to my 3 ballot successes? Good news is next year I get an extra 5 minutes for a GFA which I realy should have by now.
Don - well done for joining the admin team!
Ale - sounds bizarre, but did someone say abolish park run....?!?!?
Emz/Chick - ahh that could be me. I tend to go to work unless moving away from a bathroom becomes a hazard. The sooner I spread my cold germs the quicker I get better
Can't remember who asked but half on Sunday is my local (Basingstoke) know the route back to front, bit hilly but have no target. Just plan to enjoy it.
what - nothing
why- busy at work, out tonight with friends (beer + curry + last train home no doubt)
last rest - today
last hard - last week
lyric - yes
Afternoon all,
Have a good one!
Afternoon!
Lyrics: yes!
What: something around 7 or 8k in length shortly
Why: consistent consistency
Enjoy your evening, Dustin!
That's the spirit, AF
LMH: that's ok then. Today I feel fat
Hope you get in, Oliver.
What: 5 miles easy
Why: my longest run now between today and Sunday
Last hard: carb loading
Last rest: 26/8
Lyrics: I think so
Re. carb loading
I think I managed about half the carb intake I'm supposed to and I feel bleurgh. Not sure I can cope with much more. Guess I'll force a plate of pasta and some juice down tonight but not looking forward.
chicksta - all I do to carb load is cutback on the amount of fruit and veg that I eat and if I fancy something rather than not having it I indulge but I try to make this good carb stuff such as oat cakes or toast (white) rather than cakes and biscuits. I don't have much extra on the Thursday, Friday is 'see it, want it, eat it' day and Saturday is a good breakfast and early pasta dinner with a tomato sauce and tuna or salmon plus a tin of rice pudding if I can fit it in after.
I fancy a curry now Dustin!
114 miles in September

Great advice LMH
Chick: Good luck on these last few days
Miles makes smiles.

Evening all,
Any news on the VLM'ers.... I didnt enter for next year as taking at least a year off from trying for a fast time at the distance, but may do a trail mara....
4.4m progressive (7:57 / 7:33/ 7:01 / 6:39 / 2.39 (6;34 pace) not bad as was tight as anything before I started.
Sep mileage was 171.7m, good progress being made
Take care all
8 miles done this evening (4.1 of which with JS group)
126 miles in September, 2 x HM, 1 parkrun
Lyrics yes.
Knee no. Just continuing to play very safe.
Good luck to all those with crossed fingers.
I'm also trying (very hard) to fall out of the habit of "G&T time". I kept waking up in the middle of the night, then being dog tired during the day. That's an admission. I've got my own battles to fight here.
Evening!
The "what" ended up as 6k
The "why" was it included some fairly hard work on the hills (of HM Common) before the light gave way.
Another perfect evening for running, and worked pretty hard!
Nice and easy tomorrow and Saturday, WP and Chick!
Blisters: the rule is always run* before you drink!
*or bike or swim!
or kayak
or in my case fall
Club session tonight. Just a relay across the fields, went well after the pain went away!
lmh, correct, no chance of me resting. Stupid though it might be, I will run until I can't, if that makes any sense.
lyrics - yes!!
