Good luck all racers today LMH, Dustin,SC?
I am another that can not have those nasties you find in drinks.Will look out for organic blackcurrant drink as Alun always drank Ribena but with Aspartame in it he can not drink it!! Just lower the sugar what do they have to add nasties to them!
What: See what I can do
Why: Very tired this morning
Last hard: getting out of bed
Have a great day out there and hope the weather is kind to you.
ALF: Always a little further
Miles makes smiles.

Yesterday's lyrics - Where The Heart Is by Soft Cell.
Thank's for the thread start Poppy, sorry to hear you're tired, hope you enjoy your run.
A much improved forecast here and a nice morning, dry and bright, hope everyone else racing has good conditions and enjoys their race, I can't say I enjoy 10ks
What: Sinfin 10k
Why: supporting a local race
Last hard: being enthusiastic about this
Last rest: 4/5
Lyrics - yes.
Lyrics: yes!
Go well LMH! Hope you can get up to speed!
And all other racers of course!
What: probably go to the fitness suite and see what I can manage
Why: calf damage prevents much play
LMH: Run like the wind today or a chap chasing you with a big stick or even a tiger chasing your tail:-)
5.65 miles for me today I am hoping this will mean I am good to go tomorrow:-)
Miles makes smiles.

OH: Apartame seems to be getting in everything now. As a gallon a day juice drinker I'm hoping my regular orange from shop next door stays the same.
Ale: Sorry to hear about the calf damage, one step forward two back.
Welsh: You'll be right once you get moving, go fo a 6 today. Goldilocks distance for donkey legs days.
Dustin/SC/Parkrunners: Hope you have a good one, althugh are now probably waiting for starting pens at this moment.
What: Well I didn't get my 10 in Friday, it was 8, running late so didn't manage the 4 route to work only 2 there then 6 back. Need to do a 10 this morning.
Why: Feeling a bit bloated and rubbish, too much indulgance, need to shake it off.
Lyrics: Oh my goodness yes!, one of favourites for singing in the shower. In fact here is an illustration I did of Zizi Jeanmaire back end of last year as I had that song in my head and was testing out some new software features.
Have a good one today chaps, mild here, perfect running weather.
A much drier, stiller, warmer day than forecast here. I ran four miles to the race. Met up with P who had driven down to support and had some water, took my inhaler, had a chat etc then did a mile warm up. Lined up on the second row at the start and saw a younger lady in a Derby AC vest and short shorts to my left. Race started on time this year and the Derby AC lady and a young girl from Charnwood (also in short shorts) went past me within the first half mile but then just settled about 60-80m ahead. Charnwood caught Derby within the first mile then just sat on her. I ran the first mile at Boston faster than my first three here but I guess that's what a taper does for you! After about four miles I saw that Charnwood had dropped back off Derby and I was gradually reeling her in, she looked to be running so comfortably and with a lovely style but as I drew level with her and heard her breathing I realised she was working hard so just concentrated on going past and looking strong. Fortunately I was beginning to warm up by now and was getting a little faster. I was very gradually closing on Derby though there was a man obviously running with her who kept looking back and no doubt telling her where I was. I was never going to catch her anyway but I was worried that young Charnwood would have a good finish and take second place back, the marathon miles were showing though and I finished strongly - albeit setting my asthma off which took ages to control. Not a PB but a much better run than last year - 39.24 Garmin time
Good work LMH! Well done! Still think you should do more of them!
Enjoyed the fitness suite, mainly because I bumped into a guy that I haven't seen for a few years! And a good few years older than I, which is unusual in a student gym! Calf was up to gentle stretching but no chance of running on it. Will speak to physio on Tuesday, I hope (doesn't work Mondays).
Have a good week, OH!
OH - lol
15 miles steady for me today, 1 hr 52. Lovely sunny weather with a cooling breeze. On call at work so route was loopy and repetitive.
Lyrics, not a clue!
Bromsgrove fun run. Opted for 5(.8) km race rather than 10 this year as we had a house full. 5/7 of us did the run. Our male dutch visitor won overall, with me coming in 2nd lady. All 5 of us (2 who never run) came top 20 out of a field of 96. Great day especially after eurovision party and 17 km walking yesterday!
Well done lmh too.
Oh he he!
Ale hope calf is better soon
Moring run on the ridgeway for me and a hard Mr Bump fall (again) now looking for a bio-mechanics expert as also noticed that I have no flexibility in my right foot too and cant seem to being my toes / foot up when compared to left foot there is over two inches difference..... (11.29m)
Followed up with a 4.75m this afternoon with 3.35 at MP.
Last hard weekend before Edinburgh.....
Take care
I'd start with getting a physio to look at it RFJ. Hope you haven't done any damage?
Well done, Emz! Sounds like a fun weekend!
And what LMH says, RFJ!
LMH: Well done on getting the sub 40, like the report, feel like experiencing the race
Donaldo: Impressive 13
RFJ: Apart from the bump a good set of miles chewed up there
Emz: Great results all round from your group
Ale: Fitness suite is a result, admire your enthusiasm to be active when facing such obstacles
OH: Not sure what's going on there, is it the Summer of 1967 or 2018, soundslike you are having a blast, enjoy it
Looking forward to seeing how it went for Dustin in Leeds
Did a nice steady 10.5 myself late morning, did think shall I top it up to half marathon distance, but thought no I've got Ravenscar half next Sunday. Got home though and half an hour later thought well I got that far should have just done another 2.5.
Cheers
