Morning.
Lyrics - Plain talking (plain talking)
I hope you can find a solution OH. NB shoes have probably changed quite a lot since your bad experience, for years Adidas were too narrow for me but then they changed the last so worth trying lots of different ones on if you get the chance (probably not easy where you are I'd guess).
Are things feeling any better Alehouse?
What: something easy
Why: easy does it
Last hard: being aimless
Last rest: 12/6
Yesterday's lyrics - Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: No
LMH: back feeling slightly tender after yesterday's hydrotherapy...and as for the knee...
What: fitness suite, if anything
Why: see above
Currently grey and cold here! Where's that sun?
Benjy: 1975 was also a hot summer, but I spent the hottest month of it driving to the South of France and then along the coast to Barcelona...where they had the worst summer weather in living memory! I will have to find the relevant training diary and see what year it actually was.
re shoes, it is getting increasingly difficult to try things on as shopping is more and more online. Must be very difficult in some of the far flung places of the UK, and beyond.
I'm sure you can use that window of opportunity Benjy.
Not very bright or warm here at the minute either, just back from walking Grace (having done the weekly shop first) and currently warming up whilst trying to decide what to do.
Benjy: enjoy the wedding
AH; Always been my problem, too heavy never unde 11.5 stone
What; Yeovil park run, my favourite as its a true XC course with XC short steep hills. Today add in knee high grass. So pleased with a course record for me of 24-12, thats five minutes off my time in two months!
Why; No other races this week
Last hard: convincing myself to keep trying after 2k this morning
last rest: 09:06
Lyrics: didn’t even look
Still benched here, taking time to hopefully make my achilles better. Last weeks 22 miler made it a lot worse. Probably ready to try a run tomorrow bit getting impatient.
Have a good weekend all.
Lyrics, nope.
LMH/Benjy..hope you both got out. Benjy: fingers crossed for A passes.
WP: B5386 and probably settle for nearer 1.45 than 1.40
Threw caution to the wind on the back of Wed night and went for SB at parkrun. Was pacing one of the juniors, who wanted a pb, I so was a little bit sensible. Fastest pr of the year and pb for him but almost 35 seconds off where I'd like to be. 21.19 still gave 73.96% age grade so can't grumble
What: parkrun
Why: It's Saturday
Last Hard: Finding something for breakfast this morning
Last Rest: Thursday
Lyrics: Nope don't believe I do.
SC I have added you to my tracker thingy will look out for you what colour vest? I shall be either by Blackpill or Westcross inn which ever gives a good vantage point.
Benjy: i hope the wedding and run went are going well today a hot day for it.
Don: Be very careful with Achilles or you will be out for longer than you want:-(
DD: Great work on your park run you have done really well in a short time :-)
SC: Well done on parkrun a great result especially with half tomorrow although it is going to be hot.
OH: well done on parkrun .Do you have a running shop near to you or will it be on the mainland?
What nothing
Why: Felt sick this morning/last night
Last hard: See above and the heat!
Lyrics Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Today's race wasn't timed but Garmin said 21:52. Third overall for the team (the start is staggered, one team after the other). Found myself at the front with a guy half my age and we ran along chatting for about 2k when 3 whippersnappers approached from behind with my companion rudely joining them leaving me on my own. That didn't last long. Two of the young pups tired quickly and I ran past them chuckling to myself. They were just chicked by an old biddy twice their age
The two fast boys crossed the line about 20secs in front of me. Give me a other k and I'd have got them
All good fun and lots of high fiving before we headed for the beer tent.
Great improvement DD.
I hope you have a good race tomorrow SC.
Sorry to hear that you're unwell again Poppy. Not too warm here but tomorrow is forecast to be better.
Careful Donaldo - don't want you out of action in the holidays.
A strange run for me this morning, legs felt awful throughout, heavy and achey, yet I ran a good negative split with my last mile being over 50 seconds faster than my first. Hoping things feel better tomorrow.
It's been a long time since I have been under 11.5 stone
Chicksta: brisk 5k there!
