Friday 2nd February 2018 - Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

Morning.

Lyrics - Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

We've nearly made it through another week! Is it me or does this year seem to be going very quickly already? A few cold days forecast here but hopefully no ice to contend with.

I'm not really keen on undulating emzap - I'd like a flat, fast course to see where I'm at. The offer of a cake meet up is very tempting though.

What:         short and easy
Why:          easier day
Last hard:  I'm keeping it easy
Last rest:   24/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

  • Morning!

    Lyrics: yes. Whilst I may have a good time from 7:30 in The Griffin I wish the title were more appropriate for me!

    What: work then GP

    Why: money plus GP phoned me on her day off yesterday and wants to see me at 4:30 to discuss scan and referrals. Beyond  the call of duty!
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

  • 4 Dustin? You lucky man:-)

    I hope your GP has some answers for you Alehouse.

    Where were you racing Gobi?

    Chilly but nice out here this morning. Like Dustin we have some colder weather forecast though which I'm not looking forward to.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • I have mile envy Dustin. Gobi: good effort. I like your GP Ale. Emz/LMH I looked again at Droitwich....tempted for  very slow plod and training run. See what next week brings
    What: Domestic god
    Why: Lots of visitors this weekend
    Last Hard: Prepping for the weekend
    Last Rest: Ongoing
    Lyrics: Yes indeed 
  • GobiGobi ✭✭✭
    LMH - Derby Velodrome
  • I did wonder Gobi - I live about five miles away  may have to come and watch some time.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • GobiGobi ✭✭✭
    pretty nasty for sure, be nice to see you LMH
  • This year is going very slowly LMH!
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • Sounds promising, ale.

    Yikes, Gobi :scream:Sounds too much like hard work.

    wabo: Enjoy parkrun and Cleo's performance

    LMH: Hope yesterday's sore throat is gone.

    Cold weather on the horizon here too. It looks like that pesky wind is going to die down though which would be nice. I can do cold but I can't do that in combination with wind, rain or snow.

    What: yoga done am - hopefully a run tonight
    Why: too icy this morning for a run
    Last hard: 12 hour work day yesterday
    Last rest: 17/12
    Lyrics: of course

    Yesterday's were This is the life, Amy McDonald (which reminds me: where's Donaldo??)

  • emzapemzap ✭✭✭
    Afternoon

    What: 2.5 km run to pick up train tickets
    Why: was a good way to get a short run in
    Last hard: it seems like everything is going wrong this week (half of the bathroom was delivered, we'd paid to have quick delivery, managed to get that refunded but still only have half a bathroom, then ATM wouldn't give me cash so had to go check whether it had taken money from my account, then caterer phones with annoyances then some replacement bookshelf pegs arrive, the movers lost the old ones, and they don't fit...all little things, but everything at once)
    Lyrics: yes

    Ale good news about GP, I'll cross my fingers for you that it goes as well as it can.
    LMH and SC you know you want to :)  It's hilly, but pretty if that helps...
    Wabo enjoy Cleo's performance
    Gobi yuck
    Chick hope the wind eases and you can get out
    Dustin we're forecast a -2 parkrun tomorrow...

    Have a lovely day all
  • That sounds as though it's going to be a lovely family outing Wabo.

    How often do you have fixtures at Derby Gobi?

    It's often a collection of little things that proves more annoying than one big one emzap. You lost me at hilly I'm afraid, not the race for me.

    Hope you can get out chicksta. My throat is just doing its usual I think, it's always the first thing to go when I'm tired/stressed etc.

    Sounds like you have a busy weekend SC - don't go overdoing it!
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    LMH - I race every 2 weeks basically

    2 degrees and rain tomorrow for parkrun in Milton Keynes
  • Always at Derby?
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • At airbnb near Dad's home (Cheadle Holme) for Dad' funeral on Tuesday. Gathering of the Fay's begins (I have 6 surviving siblings)
    Not sure whether there'll be any serious running before Thursday.
  • As you won't be running seriously, which parkrun in the morning then, OH? Cheadle Hulme (at Bruntwood) is very muddy at present. 

    LMH: how far would you travel for a half if there is a flat one around? Is Wrexham too far, for example?
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
  • I could say good morning but I feel I am a bit late in the day;-)

    The days are flying by especially this week as I am thinking I am a day ahead all week;-)

    OH: I hope all goes well for Dad's funeral xx

    SC Enjoy your weekend a big Rugby weekend;-)

    Ale Your GP sounds amazing you are so lucky!

    What: 6 miles
    Why: All i had time for
    Last hard : The first part of run
    Lyrics: yes
    ALF: Always a little further
    Miles makes smiles.
    Progression
  • Thoughts are with you OH

    Jeepers em. And it's Groundhog day...

    Quick blast in the rain (3 miles).  It wasn't cold and not windy  either and after a stressful working week  I needed to clear my head.

    Happy to see my splits staying with an 8 again :)

    We're serial  mourners this week AH with no time for parkrun today. This morning was memorial service for a very close family teacher friend at Withington Girls School.
    I don't think my workplace will remember me 31y after retirement!
