Morning!
Lyrics: Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
What: half an hour this evening
Why: a typical Thursday in winter

yes alehouse I know this one!
enjoy your half hour
what: my streak is on its 12th day, 3.2 miles this am
why: the evening doesnt look too clever
last hard: this morning
last rest: 31/12/16
have a great day all hope the weather isn't too bad, little Cleo is desperate for snow
nice running blisters
Blisters glad you had a run
Nice to see Gobi
LMH: Enjoy the new shoes
I so agree it is the support,banter,friendship and training that keeps us all sane
Nothing from me second day so have walked instead I am so fatigued limbs achy sore throat so i am guessing something is lurking again
but never mind I will be back out running as soon as I can hopefully tomorrow .
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Light covering of snow here and F10 winds for this evening
Comfortable now and managing work. May try run later (but see above).
No running for past week
Lyrics: no
Yesterday's lyrics were Stormy Weather by Billie Holiday.
Keep at it Blisters, it's all going in the right direction.
Glad you're feeling more comfortable OH.
I'm just looking at them for the time being Poppy
Sorry to hear you're not 100% again.
You're doing well Wabo.
Is it Tuesdays and Thursdays again this term then Alehouse?
No snow forecast for us today but the sky is going rather grey and it felt very 'calm before the storm' out there this morning. Not sure how I'm going to fare if tomorrow morning is as forecast (feels like -4C with winds gusting over 40 mph) nor whether I'll get to work or not as have to go to Buxton which is an hour or so north of here and forecast snow this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
What: MLR
Why: banking miles in case weather stops play
Last hard: resisting the temptation to do just a couple more
Last rest: last year
Lyrics - yes.
If there is snow about Buxton always gets it...including a cricket match snowed off...in June!
Until May work is Tuesday and Thursday all day plus Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Get well WP!
And keep that streak going, Wabo. And talking of which, where Is Ollie?!
That's a bit extra isn't it Alehouse? I was wondering about Ollie too but you said he was having difficulty accessing the forum?
Afternoon all
Lyrics: Yes
What 4-5 miles playing about
Why: Conserving for pr Sat and 12k Sun
Last Rest: Sunday
Last hard: Getting self out in the wet snow while my running buddies huddled for warmth in the office...wimps
Get well soon WP
Afternoon
What: washing machine, fridge and freezer buying
Why: I will start running again once we've moved tomorrow
Last hard: watching me getting fatter (no proper cooking facilities + little exercise...
Lyrics: nope
Good to see you Gobi.
Get well soon WP
Glad the stone is behaving OH
9 miles is a lot Blisters!
Have a great day all.
hiya
well done Blisters
happy shopping Emz
what - 6 miles tempo
why - shake the legs
last rest - 6/12
last hard - today was a push
no sign of snow (or cold) but it did rain heavily on my run. Was quite mild this morning but Hampshire CC taking no chances spraying grit all over me at 5:50 am walking to the train.
Yes, was asked to do a bit extra, LMH...and as it fits in with training I said yes: 9:30 to 11:45 then run soon after is the plan! And I get a bit of a lie in!
Thought Ollie would have sorted RW out by now!
Nice picture of Buxton on June 2nd 1975:

Just heard from a friend that Buxton to Macclesfield road is closed due to snow and ice, LMH!
Nice streaking, wabo.
Great to see you get loads of LSRs and MLRs in this week, LMH. Is the knee holding up OK?
Welcome back Gobi and straycelt
Hope the move goes well, em.
Crikey
!! I have a slightly dodgy heart too but SVT sounds a bit scary... mine is just a leaky valve, nothing sinister.
Let it all out, blisters. Sometimes it helps to bare your soul a bit to a bunch of forum friends
I can hardly believe I was one of those tough runners braving all sorts of conditions every January/February in the build-up to a spring marathon. I've become old and soft, resorting to the treadmill or opting out of running altogether and doing yoga instead 
What: 5 miles tempo on the treadmill
Why: I'm a wimp and it's wild out there
Last hard: work
Last rest: 30/9
Lyrics no
I heard that too Alehouse but I may still be able to get there from this end. Depends whether the student can get there too. Those hours do sound quite life friendly.
chicksta - the knee is sort of holding up, it actually seems to swell more on the days I do less miles. I may have to take to the treadie tomorrow if conditions are as bad as forecast but I'm not sure how the knee will react to that. Can't be long now until you can run in the warm?
5 miles along icy footpaths (snow frozen over)
First run for a week
SVT is not necessarily frightening. I get it too, but infrequently, self limiting and not incapacitating.
Hello everyone! Miserable grey day here. Damp, turning wet, and getting colder. Hypothermia weather. Had to get to hospital appointment for 2pm. Decided that cycling would be horrible. So I took 2 steps then ran the whole way. In full leather coat and appropriate hat, all at a steady cruise. 3 miles logged. Just got warm enough by the end. Decided to walk home as it was proper rain, with improper white lumps in it.
I really dislike days with hospital appointments in them. I feel like the whole day is ruined, because I will NOT miss one. However, we have a positive report: no more fixed appointment bookings logged as I now have an official Open Booking for 6 months. They are happy that the hands have healed enough for me to manage them and not cause significant damage. The full repair may take a year or even two. Onwards.
Buxton to Macclesfield? That's the Cat & Fiddle road. They shut that for fear of snow for 6 months of the year. It's got permanent speed cameras that check your average isn't more than 50 mph. They must pay for themselves in summer.
It is indeed The Cat and Fiddle Road, Blisters. Sounds promising at the hospital.
What: a well-wrapped up 31 minutes
Why: winter. Nowhere near as cold as I thought it would be...but given the clear skies I don't think I will be saying that in the morning.
Edit: now sleeting heavily.
