Morning!
Lyrics are: "It's Christmas time; there's no need to be afraid"
What: something easy, I hope
why: club dinner so will run in the day
Hope everything is going well, Emz.

Morning.
A cold one here with the wind forecast to arrive tomorrow. Need to brave the supermarket for the xmas fruit and veg which I will do after walking Grace so how far I run will be dependent on how long that takes but I expect I'll need to de-stress - why do people go so mad?
What: easy miles
Why: coffee and cake day
Last hard: contemplating the supermarket madness
Last rest: 24/11
Lyrics - yes.
Happy Christmas daily threaders:

Enjoy!
Windy, dark, cold, T&L maybe on way ... (power cuts already in west of Orkney)
I'm still not entirely shot of the cold
Swimming plans already cancelled (group decision), running decisions postponed until after supermarket visit
I think nothing is going to be easy today!
(I like the double meaning of that last sentence
)
Morning
What: moving country
Why: it's what I do...
Last hard: moving things, I hurt all over!
Lyrics: nope
Yesterday's were Goettingen - Barbara
Hope you get rid of it soon OH.
What cake today LMH?
Just reached Cologne, so about half way there...
Have a good day all.
Thanks for the ECard Ale
Im on leave... YAY
so off to the track, 7 x 400m off 200m rec with warm up and cool down (5.25m in total) splits all beyween 1:39 and 1:34
Lyrics yes....
Take care
Nice card Alehouse - thank you.
No idea until I get there emzap. They had a gf almond and cherry bundt cake yesterday so I'm hoping there may be some of that left.
It was quite slippery out this morning with quite a heavy frost, still a little slippery by the time I got out for my run but nice apart from that, cold but dry and quite still. Xmas shopping all done now, only thing I couldn't get was chestnuts, loads of chestnut puree but no chestnuts either fresh or pre-packed. I'll try the local Co-op later.
Plans got changed by call in for CT scan (follow up for kidney stones, but without any prior warning)
Afternoon.
AH: Hope the easy run goes well, and thanks for the interactive card.
LMH: Good going on your run today, hope you can find the chestnuts.
OH: Hope the kidney stone follow up goes well.
Emzap: Happy moving.
RFJ: Nice track session today.
What: 6 miles, reached my target of 3,000 miles this year (on 3,002.6 miles as of today's run).
Why: Easy day.
Current Streak: Day 370.
Lyrics: Nope.
Have a good day.
Afternoon!
Hope everything goes to plan, Emz!
Decent session, RFJ.
Do you want me to post you some chestnuts, LMH?! Enjoy the cake. My mince pies are disappearing all too quickly.
Hope CT scan is helpful, OH!
Well done on the 3k, OL! 3000 miles, that is!
What: 3k
Why: sore hip again so took it easy
Yes please Alehouse!
I've bought some gf puff pastry which I intended to try making mince pies with (or eccles mince pies or most likely open mince pies maybe with a marzipan star on top) but I'm a little bit scared of it - I haven't used puff pastry for years and I half remember something about not cutting through the layers or something? That's for tomorrow anyway, today was baking peanut butter cookies for Mark's work xmas fuddle tomorrow.
Hope the scan is helpful OH.
Have you decided on a target for next year Ollie? I guess it might get a bit more difficult if you get the job?
Hiya
Thanks for the card Ale!
Enjoy teh cakes LmH
OH - good luck at the scan
RFJ - good session
what - 7.5 miles including 2x12min faster
why - see how far I have to go
last rest - 16 days
last hard - today
Legs didn't really get moving, so barely got under 7m/miling. Combination of blood donation Monday and long run yesterday. Still there is a long way to go.
lyric- naturally
Hello
Alehouse: thank you for the card it is so lovely
Em: Best of luck do you have a house in the UK?
OH: Good luck with the scan
LMH: I hope the cakes are nice today
What: 7.6 miles
Why: Very tired
last hard: grocery shopping and peeling 2 kilo sprouts yesterday
Lyrics: Yes
Hubby booked in for op on his knee tomorrow to find that there is no bed as yet and Sister will ring me in the morning when the plan was be at hospital for 7am so it looks like my run plans are disrupted and poor hubby hates change he gets so stressed.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
That's a pain Poppy. They should realise how stressful that is for people.
Dustin - I can barely run a sub 7 min mile in training but it doesn't seem to mean that I can't string 26 of them together on marathon day. Early days yet anyway.
The Co-op had chestnuts in so I'm sorted
Sorry to hear about the disruptions WP, hope all gets sorted.
Ollie 3000 miles THUD well done I will be on 16XX by the end of Dec
Dustin - looking good with those runs
Cant remeber if I sad but may be getting a back door entry to VLM as work have 15 spaces again this year (100 applied last year so about a 1:6 chance, find out on Jan 04th.
Take care
3 + 4 today. Although dark and sleeting, evening run was more pleasant as wind had dropped. Almighty lightning flash though this evening which was a little unnerving
Aiming for 1600 by end of 2016 too, RFJ - just over 18 to go ...
I think hospital managers often do not realise how big an operation event is in a persons life, Poppy. Hope it goes ahead and he does not have to wait again.
Take the U11s training , Paarlauf, and an odd number of kids.
Some mug required to make up the numbers...Like I needed another 20x150s after this morning's run...
Sorry Ollie missed your mileage, well done
Congratulations and commiserations, take them as you feel appropriate.
Well done to any of you who went out there in horrid weather. Down here in the "nearly" South West it was a lovely day to be honest. For some reason I didn't feel up for it. Did a 4 mile walk to Tesco's, but felt that it was the day to clear up jobs and tidy things. Sorry for offloading my mind.
I'm pleased to read about AOH, RFJ, LMH, and all the others. Poppy, your life seems to be busy too, yet you're still getting good mileage.
Sleep well all, and get your miles in between the weather.
