Would your Florida friends not post some for you chicksta? Hope you've had a good long run.

Last rest: 12/6
Lyrics - no.
lyrics yesterday I had to google

I have family in USA I might have to have a word.
LMH where you off to?
Chick enjoy the LSR
Race was so hard last night, a 5k became 3.65 miles and 4 laps of hot running! what with my warm up and cool down I was close to the 5 I wanted the day before...
what: just biked in 16.5 miles, bonked a bit and the tarmac was making strange sounds!! Run commute later
why: to get home in time for footy, bike wont do it
last hard: this morning
last easy: 31/12/16
have a great weekend all, I'm park running then 10 k race sunday and of course I'll watch England tomorrow with the girls!
Well done on pinning a number on, Wabo! Hope you go well over the weekend too. Had forgotten about football this pm! And can I be your first customer as an importer of magic cream?
LMH: jealous of Whitby...again!
Chick: hope you got the LSR in.
What: more fitness suite work
Why: knee, Achilles, back and the rest of me need it. Walked probably 7 or 8 k last night to and from the race. Knee, whilst not perfect, coped quite well and there is little reaction this morning. Won't be thinking about running on it quite yet though.
Lyrics: of course not
And it is going to be hot again here.
LMH enjoy Whitby and more easy miles. Chicksta: eat up and enjoy the miles.
Race report: Tintern Trot. 6ish miles with min 250m ascent off road race. 250/278 entrants this year completed. Start 19.30 and a tad warm at 26 degrees. Had distance sun specs. Wrong choice. Set off on the flat bit and ran to HR pleasant going but running through wooded area complete canopy so specs off. 2.5k in start the ascent. Not so bad. Shorter strides and lower cadence keep the boy under control and let a few people pass. Bit of down and then another climb to a bend and loop back at 5 on a hairpin hold on halfway and still climbing same gradient and then : Oh Bu&&%$. I'll walk this bit. 200m of interesting slope but dropped into yomp pose swung arms and found I was overtaking runners...hmmmUp and up and then on the top undulating rolling path single file in places so no way to pass. Then came the downhill. Sheer in parts slippy in many and almost suicidal I thought as all on rock/flint/exposed root and trail. Sweep round and then down over an open field. That was fun. Last click was back on trail and had an incline...up. Made up a few spots and ended sub 53 in 75th spot and 6/23 in category. Winner was sub 39 - Mountain goat. Tough run but pleased and waited until finish for SVT episode so fair result...oooops.
What: Not a lot
Why: Drive to Coventry for parkrun conference F/S/S
Last Hard: Above
Last Rest: Technically Wed
Lyrics: Nope
alehouse 100%
SC nice that the svt waited.. sounds like a great race!!
LMH: Enjoy the run, packing and everything else you will do today:-)
Wabo : well done on race with all that has been going on!
Ale:I am also envious of Whitby and I have never been but looks a lovely place for a holiday.
SC: Well done on race it sounds......Challenging and not good for Achilles!Glad the SVT did not happen till after the race.So lots of Billy Goats were in the race
What: 12.05 miles
Why: Because I could
Last hard: Yesterday and the heat
Lyrics: Yes
Last time I ran 12 miles was 4th January as been sticking to 10-11 miles so nice to see this run although slow was fine with no issues and a week early on my schedule:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I hope the weather improves for your BBQ chicksta and you're not too busy looking after everyone else to enjoy the party. I think your husband should be fine to fly long haul and taking meds into the USA isn't a problem - I usually travel with a copy of the prescription or a letter from my GP but have never had to produce them.
Well done Poppy.
Enjoy the footie Wabo.
Sounds promising Alehouse.
I'd prefer it if Whitby was going to be a bit warmer - temperatures are only forecast to be mid teens which is going to feel cold to me - 26C here again today and I'm loving it.
getting back on proverbial horse and trying out Brooks Ghost 10s

last hard - possibly today
Els received texts from iFitness and Mobile platforms (UMElimited.com) in April claiming she had enrolled to their "service" and stating they were going to charge her £3 and £4.50 a week for this "service". As she had taken no action to enroll in any such services and cancellation was to a premium rate text number. She assumed this just spam.
Unfortunately however they did succeed in both making a regular charge to her mobile phone account since then.
Now all stopped and blocked but not unsurprisingly these companies are resisting requests for refunds of monies dishonestly taken.
RFJ glad things are looking up for MiL
What: rest today, 5 km yesterday
Why: it's too hot
Last hard: yesterday's 5km, I had to stop for a breather at 2.5km as I thought I was going to be sick
Lyrics: nope (but knew Wednesday's!)
Was going to do a 26 km tomorrow, but now we are going to the local countryside show which we were going to go to after my run, until we saw the programme. It looks amazing! Starts at 9:30, so we will be missing parkrun to make the most of the day.
Have a lovely weekend all.
