Morning.
Lyrics - Time goes by so slowly
Feeling a little battered and bruised this morning especially round the back and shoulder - which is why the visit to the physio was yesterday:-)
What: doctors/short and easy/eating
Why: asthma review/taper/carb loading
Last hard: tapering
Last rest: 15/7
Yesterday's lyrics - Still Waiting by Kaiser Chiefs.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: something fitness related this evening, although it won't as yet be running!
Why: being careful. Work this morning, another funeral this afternoon.
Sorry I've been AWOL.
Think I've overdone it rather and so no running since Sunday.
Went to physio Monday and mentioned I'd had weakness in my hand and an aching arm. She's worried it's a prolapsed disc in my neck. Off to see doctor tomorrow. Am allowed to run, but to be careful.
Half on Sunday was great for the 1st half (around 54 min) but the 2nd was so hilly and having been told it was a flat course, I just wasn't mentally prepared for it. A goal was 1:50, B 1:55 and C 2:00. Finish in 1:54:46 wasn't bad considering the hills. Just hope it didn't destroy my chances at a sub 4 marathon (mentally I mean).
Anyway feel exhausted still and at this stage think rest will be more beneficial than more long runs (unless I miraculously start to feel better).
Wabo good news on your d in law
Ale great news you can run!
Oh and I know the lyrics
How long until the marathon emzap? Definitely sounds as though you need to rest and recuperate at the minute but you were tired before your half weren't you? Could you be low in iron? Hope your physio is wrong and that you feel better soon.
LmH - hope the quack visit goes well
Ale - Hope you give them a joyous send off
Emz - well toughed out, hitting the B goal is still a good result
what - easy run
why - not coaching tonight (out with some pals) so will pop out at lunchtime
last rest - last Monday
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - yes
LMH, my legs are like that, she hurt so bad the other day. Hopefully it eases everything though for you
dustin enjoy lunch time and night out!
alehouse, sorry to hear about the funeral
emzap, poor you that doesn't sounds nice! Hope it gets sorted
Lyrics yes, LMH hope doc goes ok
What: a bit of speed, 1 mile warm up then 6 x 2 mins at pace with 1 min rec, half mile cool down
why: schedule
last hard: that was
last rest: 31/12
have a good day all
Nice session Wabo.
Hope you enjoy your night out Dustin.
LMH: Glad everything worked well time wise this morning Hope the back and shoulder eases off for you.
Em: When is your marathon? well done on achieving your B goal a good result.Sorry to hear you are exhausted it sounds like you need plenty of rest.
Ale: have you been given go ahead to run? Sorry about Funeral
Wabo: That sounds a good speed session:-)
Well finally I can report i am feeling better so:
What: 4 mile run
Why: body she said yes
Last hard: being ill
Lyrics: maybe so a no:-)
I am just glad to be back on the path to fitness again I do have 10k Sunday last race of the year but think it maybe a step too far and would rather just get some solid winter training in.....these things happen...
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Why: slowly building
Last hard: 2 games of badminton on Tuesday
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics no
Well done emzap
Off to Shetland for a few days then down to Mamores half (Glencoe marathon for Elspeth)
Glad you're feeling better, poppy.
Em: Hope your physio is wrong. Disc trouble is the bane of my life. You held that HM together really well, considering the brutal second half.
Wabo: nice session
LMH: Hope the drive went well.
What: 5k run/walk (sticking to 5mins run, 1min walk and using the walk breaks to rewind and make sure I keep proper form) plus some s&c in the gym afterwards
Why: easing back into it
Last hard: acquiring a new running style is hard work
Last rest/ 5/8
Lyrics: yes
Funeral went well, thanks: runner from local club. 74. Decent standard marathon and above: Comrades, Two Oceans etc.
What: 5 miles in exactly 30 mins on a-g treadmill at 90 percent. Leg presses shortly! Bumped into the consultant who confirmed that pain is part of the recovery process!
Emzap - well done on the half
Short run tonight 4m after a hardish progressive run yesterday
Take care all
