Morning.
Happy New Year. Hope 2018 is a good one for you and yours.
Lyrics - I stand still stepping on the shady streets
My main running goal is to continue to enjoy it. Obviously I'd love to break 2.55 for the marathon but I know that I can't keep getting older and faster.
Sounds like fun Dustin.
What: easy miles
Why: ill and crocked
Last hard: sleeping
Last rest: 21/12
Yesterday's lyrics - You're My Drug - XTC.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: gentle parkrun
Why: a good way to start the new running year
If I can run 2018k I will be both surprised and running quite well I imagine.
Need to keep up a strengthening and stretching regime.
Don't really come on her much at all. But love you guys on this thread the only other thread I visit rarely is the over 60s.
But new year hope to get back to it. Didn't manage it last year. Less said about that.
Will run later. Soon
Hi Pammie, Ale and LMH. Happy new year happy new goals.
New year for me will be get this procedure done and dusted and hope to get in, realistically, 1000-1500k all things being equal
Spectacular fireworks last night, seemed never ending and like the hotels were playing top trumps, on Gran Canaria. Lateish night so relaxed morning.
What-Something gentle
Why-Calves seizing up
Last hard-6k up and down a mountain road yesterday!
Last rest-Last Thursday
Lyrics-Nope
Health and happiness to all our readers.
Hope your calves feel better today SC.
Hi Pammie - hope to see you around a bit more.
good job I didn't make "not falling over" a new years resolution as it would have been broken already.... Yes Mr Bump Ground Testing Ltd is established for 2018, and I can confirm that the ground is still hard and still makes me bleed..... knee is just a scratch, palm of hand is a different matter. All cleaned and dressed (self done - plenty of practice)
What - Parkrun (inc fall)and warm up (1k) / cool down (1K) 23rd in 22:45
Why - New year (no double today for obvious reasons)
Last hard - the ground
last rest - Friday
Take care and hope all your running and life plans come to fruition this year
Great to see you Pammie! And stick around this time!!!
Sorry to hear that 2018 was not the best of starts for you LMH and RFJ!
Take it easy SC! The little bovines and the Greek warriors do not take too kindly to hills!
What: fairly gentle and progressive parkrun
Why: too many people! I finished in 259th, and there were nearly 300 behind. I set off near the back and struggled to run never mind pass people on what is quite a narrow course. First k was around 6 minutes! Finished in 26:01, and the woman I crossed the line with was officially 26:00, whilst my time in the results is 26:04, not that I'm worried! The last time I ran anywhere as congested was the first three miles of the Great North Run. Achilles creaked a bit from 3k but it is going to I guess!
Great to see Pammie I hope you keep visiting:-)
SC: Take it easy especially on the hills
Ale: Hope Achilles is okay that sounds very congestive and I would hate it.
LMH: I am sorry to hear about your run today:-(
RFJ: Not another fall good job you can take it in your stride:-)
My aims and goals are to just be running every day any think else is a bonus maybe a few PB's this year and injury free would be fab;-)
What 7 miles
Why: Summer and all that
Last hard: running through hailstone and torrential rain
Lyrics: Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I hope all your running wishes and goals come true.
Pammie: Lovely to see you. Please stay with us
Sorry to hear you're still feeling so rough, LMH.
RFJ: cannot believe you've taken another tumble
Good parkrun, ale
2018k this year would be nice. As would being able to get to the start line of Berlin in one piece.
What: 5 sunny miles with Mr. Chick
why: I always run on new year's day
last hard: sleeping after having eaten too much
last rest: 17/12
Lyrics: yes
20 Miles this morning in 2:40. Drookit!!
Goals for for the year include a sub-3 marathon and completion of an ultra.
Lyrics, no idea.
LmH - at least it's something to put in the running log...
RFJ - classic. Start as you mean to go on!!
Good to see Pammie & Don poke their heads round the door: all the best for 2018!

Hello Donaldo - are you going to stick around whilst marathon training?
RFJ hope you are ok
Did a 2 mile run walk about half and half its a start. Felt OK but it wasn't easy so unfit but I will get there
And well done, it is indeed a start!
What: cleaning old house, putting up a curtain rail and running a mile
Why: I wanted to run and it's all I could fit in
Last hard: getting my body into gear this morning after a very late night
Lyrics: nope
Great to see you don't and Pammie. Stick around!
Hope you feel better soon lmh, this has been going on for a while.
Wp running every day is no mean feat!
Have a lovely evening all.
Good to see everybody making a good start to their running.

All the best for 2018.
