Morning.

Lyrics - Jimmy Brown
            Made of stone

I can't imagine running a mile that fast RFJ - well done.

Chilly and grey here this morning though forecast to get better for the weekend. Hope you've dried out Alehouse.

What:           short and easy
Why:            recovery
Last hard:     being sensible this week
Last rest:      13/6

If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Great result RFJ, it just goes to show how deep we can dig even when we think we're stuffed.

    LMH: I hope that your medical diagnosis helps identify a recovery process.

    Me? Should have posted last night's run. Exactly the same route as Monday's dead leg drag, in which I posted an embarrassing PW (5.6 miles at 9m/m). A mere 24 hours later, and 5.6 miles at 7:50 m/m. Possibly a 2016 best pace for a training run.

    Lyrics? no

    What: swim at some point, maybe kayak this evening

    why: weather half decent and it's swim-a-day

    last hard: Monday 

    last rest: 30 July

    lyrics: no

    Nice when you get runs like that Blisters. Unfortunately not a new diagnosis just something that was identified in the report of an MRI that I had in January but hadn't seen until yesterday.

    Good to hear that the weather has improved for you OH. It's coming out nice here now.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Guten Morgen!



    What: 2.15k



    Why: short run before packing



    Not flying until this evening so another museum day, given the drizzle.
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning
    Blisters - skills, decent paced run
    RFJ - Well done, but I'm sure you can go faster, I'd expect you to be ahead of me at "racing weight"
    I joke to my clubmates that out event should be weight graded not age graded.
    LmH - You'd easily be sub 5:30 with a teeny bit of speedwork;-)
    No idea about the medic thing but hopefully it doesn't slow you down!
    Our club's mile race is under 4 weeks away, I don't think I'll be taking a PB as short specific training has been non-existant (I'll not count Saturday's efforts to run 400m reps)
    what - steady miles
    why - building blocks
    last rest - 8 days
    last hard - Sunday

    morning guys

    flying visit.  Had a lovely week off last week helping my daughter with the new bubs and cleo, shattered mind you!

    Did the ride London again, haven't entered ballot and didn't want to.  It's far too busy and a minor of aggressive riders make it too dodgy for me!! I do love the route though.  SO that ride completed my Iron man challenge and last week I really only did a 3.5 mile race, in 31 mins.  Thats a solid run for me!

     

    Ill catch up as I go along but hope all is good with you lovelies!

    what: 40 lengths in the pool, oh yes I still am.  POssible 5 k race this evening in the forest, I should shouldnt I?

    why: getting back into it and fit before I go away next month

    last hard: this morning was

    last rest: yesterday

    Dustin yes at race weight I would like to think I can get back below 5:30. But as with WA o and WP need to lose the 14 pounds to have any chance. But it will come.



    LMH yes I believe that even now you could do 5.45 ????



    30 mins early and slow this morning.



    On way to London for a follow up ref job head hunting. So going to view operation in the tunnels under London today. If anything else will be interesting



    Lyrics - no

    Yes you should Wabo!

    It's not a new diagnosis as such, the consultant didn't mention it, I just saw it on the report and wanted to know more about it.

    I've never seen a mile beginning with a 5! Speed isn't my forte image

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Wabo: Good luck tonight!

    ALF: Always a little further
