Morning.
Lyrics - People tell me love's for fools
Our 13th wedding anniversary today - Mark forgot to buy a card.............
What: hopefully a MLR
Why: it's a taper not a rest
Last hard: being told Mark had forgotten
Last rest: 4/5
Yesterday's lyrics - Outrageous by Cher.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Rest day today as racing tomorrow.
Benjy, I have so many clubmates who train at sub 6 pace and race at sub 5. I know I'll never get to their standard but I love seeing their runs on Strava. I do like to go out and beat their segment records though - they might be jogging and me sprinting but the tables dont lie!!! Haha any victory is a good one. Keep plugging away - when things arent feeling good on the running front for me I remember last August when I was 15 and a half stone and raced 48 mins for 10K. Already 10 minutes faster. It all comes with hard work, patience and perseverance. And LMH is right, just enjoy it!!
BB: of course I was quicker than last week on the bike, theres always more to give!
LMH: Yeovil marathon is actualy in Yeovilton which is where the RN airfield is, like most airfields its flat! Sat in the middle of a marsh. So the marathon course is as flat as it can be in Somerset, quiet country lanes which though quiet are not traffic free, two laps so you can pass slow people like me
Don: Im making the same journey from fat to running weight, not there yet but as you say hard work will pay off. Its a journey worth making.
What: Yeovil park run, 5k of X country around Montecute House which is fqr from flat, my favourite park run. A course PB by two minutes, the hard work is working.
Why: No other race this weekend
Last Hard: Yesterday thumping up Bruton hill on the bike
Last rest : 09/05
Lyrics; why ask
Have a great weekend all
LMH: can't possibly comment!
What: 6k including a progressive parkrun
Why: the week's long run! Around 26:20 passing people most of the way after 1k. parkrun number 96.
That is good progress since last August Don! Hoping for similar progress here!
Spine consultant report: looked at previous MRI scan and didn't feel that it covered a large enough area so is organising both MRI and CT scans, plus more blood tests. Very thorough, as I expected: the guy is the clinical lead for the north-west spinal unit. Literally a top man!
My life changed 31 years ago today: eldest son was born! Out for a meal with him later.
Lyrics: no
No point Donaldo - I can't make him un-forget it.
Thanks DD - sounds as though wind could be an issue? I doubt very much you'll be slow enough for me to catch!
I'm not sure why - but I'm certainly not complaining - a much speedier than expected 14 miles this morning to end my last big week.
We spent our 20th anniversary here in the clinic with hubby wired to a 24 hr ECG very romantic.
Impressive progress Don.
Love your dedication DD.
We're going home tomorrow. I'm happy how strong hubby feels and what an amazing recovery he's made. Doc said he can live beyond 100 provided he's not being knocked down by a bus
I had some counseling and attended a seminar for relatives yesterday which helped me get over the trauma. We're both looking ahead. Back to work on Monday, yay.
Happy birthday to your son, ale. And it sounds like you are in good hands at the spine consultant.
What: final 7 mile blast on the hills
Why: when in Rome ...
Last hard: seeing how quickly time flies by
Last rest: 10/5
Lyrics: no
