Thursday 24th May 2018 - Now I never meant

Morning.

Lyrics - Now I never meant
             To do you wrong

Sounds hectic emzap! Should I be worrying that my invitation hasn't arrived yet?  :) 

Hope you have an enjoyable and incident free run SC.

Happy holidays and I hope you enjoy Edinburgh RFJ.

Have you got your rain Poppy? We are forecast a day of it tomorrow. This morning is grey, chilly and breezy.

Hope you managed to get out Alehouse.

What:           hopefully a MLR if not a LSR/doctors
Why:            last ditch training/B12 jab
Last hard:    these three weeks of training for Yeovil haven't been as easy as I'd like
Last rest:     4/5

Yesterday's lyrics - Heart Of A Girl by The Killers.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning!


    Think I know the lyrics...and if not mistaken a topic discussed in the alehouse last night!

    Working today for a rest from marking!

    What: fitness suite plus short run

    Why: Thursday's new routine, hopefully

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    I bet you'll end up with the easy Dustin.

    Enjoy the run Alehouse.

    Just warming up after Grace's walk and will then get out for my run. I think I should go for the LSR and make it my last one before tapering - assuming the legs are willing. I shall take it easy, aim for Forrest Gump pace and hopefully just get it doen.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Thanks for the GDPR clarification, SC. I guess if I keep ignoring the present flood of emails asking me to opt in my inbox will be a lot leaner going forward. Good luck racing.

    Sounds hectic, Em. Take it easy. There's enough time for bigger miles after the wedding.

    Safe travels, RFJ.

    Hope the runs go well LMH and ale

    What: 7 miles before breakfast
    Why: avoiding the heat (it was 18 degrees at 6am)
    Last hard: getting out of bed and running without the help of caffeine (brekkie starts at 7:15)
    Last rest: 10/5
    Lyrics: I think so

    RFJ: Hope Edinburgh goes well, a friend did it a couple of years ago said it is a good one.
    Emz: What a jaunt!

    Feeling rough today, wasn't feeling too clever yesterday, paracetamol hit should see it out, not sure whether it is a Summer(ish) cold, too much pollen even though I don't normally suffer hay fever or just knackered. Thought DOMS had gone yesterday, walking like a dandy around the kitchen DOMS free feeling great but then 'skipping' down the steep steps on cliff paths, "ow! ow! ow!".

    Only did an 8 yesterday was intending 10, but felt run down. Going to be less today.

    What: 10:30AM run down to North Bay, 7 maybe 6 maybe even 5 more likely 6

    Why: Whatever feels right but breaks the day up from working at home

    Lyrics: What is going on? (sang Marvin), I got 27 points in Popmaster last week, but not getting any of these, it has to be post-2008. Realised the other day majority of my music has little updates in last ten years.

    Where is this hear you are all talking about? I needed a long sleeved top for my run. I'd much rather it was hot (don't quote me on that when Yeovil hits the high 20s on the 10th June).

    I thought it would be a run Dustin.

    SC - watch that achilles!

    I think I'd invest in a travel kettle chicksta  :) Having said that I do tend to run before coffee when we're on holiday as it fills the time between me getting up and Mark eventually rising and means that we still have breakfast together.

    I hope you get your rain Poppy - and keep it away from me - we are forecast a day of it tomorrow.

    Take it easy Benjy. No point in pushing things if you aren't feeling great. Unfortunately it's quite possible to develop hay fever at any time so it might be worth trying an antihistamine and seeing if it helps.

    Is it an early start tomorrow OH?

    I had a much better than expected run so did my last LSR. No more than 16 miles in one go between now and Yeovil.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    WP - quite right - 2 pain au chocolat and half a pack of hobnobs set me up for a brisk 4 miler...
    Wabo - happy holidays!
    LmH - nice miles, I was tempted by Yeovil but it's the marathon our club host the following week (I'm again 'jogging round ~4h)

    If you're just planning a jog round your club's race you'd be fine for Yeovil Dustin  :)
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Afternoon

    RFJ: enjoy Edinburgh
    SC: good luck tonight
    Wabo: have fun in Cornwall, the park run at llanhydrock is good to.
    WP: the days when i ran at 0500 are gone, but I do remember loving the solitude. Good on you.
    Dustin; Come to Yeovil, im 90% for the half.

    What: 1.3k swim done (i know), club speed work tonight
    Why: the call of Triathlon is strong
    Last Hard: last nights bike TT, my bike speed has really started to come good lately, mainly due to weight loss no doubt.
    Last rest: 9/05

    Lyrics: TBH I never really give them much thought, but its another no for me.

    That's twice in one week isn't it DD? You went very quickly from 'no' to 'when'!
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    LMH: I thought of bringing one but this is a clinic where different rules apply and they say kettles pose a fire hazard, so their use is prohibited.

    I love those early morning runs, especially at this time of year. it's a different story when it's pitch black, windy and cold. Luckily there's the gym treadmill for winter training. 

    Hope the Fountain Five went well and free of incidents, SC.
