Benjy: Is this your first time starting the lyrics well done;-) Enjoy your run today I hope it is cooler for you.
What: 7.25 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard: Sleeping/the heat/run was tough as legs were dead
Lyrics: Oh yes indeed:-)
I wanted to run 11 miles but legs they said no so I listened to them they hate the heat as much as i do;-)
Yesterday's lyrics were Raining from the Rocky Musical:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Grey start here too Benjy and a 'high' of 17C forecast! If you start at your end and I at mine we could meet in the middle:-) Mark is planning to cycle to Scarborough and back this morning. Enjoy your run after work.
Happy Birthday Poppy!
emzap - I used the paw paw cream to treat chafing rather than prevent it - Body Glide is good for that.
Hope the rest of you aren't too hot - waft it this way please!
As I said Mark is planning to be out for a few hours on his mtb so I have a window of opportunity for a longer run though unless I go out and back on the cinder path myself probably not the terrain (and it's supposed to be an easier week) so I think I shall just see if the knees will allow a longer run, probably out to Robin Hood's Bay along the cinder path (and via a new footpath I've found) and back along the Cleveland Way.
What: easy miles
Why: knees/a rest is needed
Last hard: everywhere else being hot
Last rest: 12/6
Lyrics - of course.
Another busy weekend kept me largely offline.
Saturday was day 3 of coaching course, and working through we finished at 4 to watch the second half.
Had decided to run home which was just over 8 miles at 5pm in 30c+ temperatures with a backpack.
I believe they call it character building.
Sunday was 13 trail but went out at 6:30am, even so it was still muggy and warm by the end.
Rest of the day was spent stripping and painting the downstairs cloakroom: it's being refitted this week.
Today - vets league match 4 (Aldershot). I said I'd do the 2k walk again if no-one else wants it. I'm hoping to give the 800 a good go, play in the sand (triple jump) and if I'm still alive, pace a 3k at 4min/k pace to round the evening off.
Why - it's the league and it's what I do
last rest - 01/06
last hard - Saturday
lyric - yes! (I own this on 7" purple vinyl)
Off to Lanza for a fortnight later this week. I'm not sure how often I'll go online (if at all). The phone tends to go in the safe and get checked once a day for messages...
May do something later
Slightly brighter day here but will be lucky if if it gets over 15°C.
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: Yesterday
Vague familiarity to lyrics but no
Lots of training going on.
Impressive discipline with phone Dustin ( we just holiday in places with no signal!)
Happy birthday WP!
Lyrics: no
Sounds a tough weekend Dustin: enjoy this evening!
Hot here again!
What: unsure. Perhaps a walk
Why: visiting friends/relatives, looking for new settees etc. May squeeze a visit to the fitness suite in late afternoon.
.
benjy enjoy the pleasant Monday run!!
Alehouse, have a good day, nice walk and visiting - sounds busy
oh like you the lyrics are vaguely familiar - have a good day
dustin, wow that's a lot of disciplines you have going on!
lmh that all sounds lovely, have a great day
Poppy happy birthday! nice miles on your birthday!
I had a blooming fall on Friday on the way, home, just after a wood pigeon sh*t on my head from a tree!!! It stunk so bad I stood and washed my head with my water bottle, carried on running think will that be good luck and crossed the road then flew through the air and hit the ground with my nose, forehead and knees, oh and hands. I was pretty shook up, used the rest of my water bottle to wash my hands and face :-(
So I only managed a mile Saturday but did do my 10k race Sunday and am so happy I did. It was great well organised and I took it really easy. I did it in 1.07 and my club mate who was doing the 10 miler finished with me, sprinted me to the finish bless him. He started 10 mins after me!!! So 57 mins for 10m, wow.
What: only a mile again this morning
why: feeling a bit jaded today
last hard: this morning was
last r est: 31/12/16
have a good day all
Well that was an interesting and liquid weekend. Great conference. Poor old Leamington parkrun became UK's 2nd biggest on Saturday as several coach loads of ambassadors and staff rocked up to give them a record attendance. They handled it very well. It's a nice, well organised event and the route could be very quick when there's less than 700 running round the perimeter of a sports field and golf course. One small incline and a fairly wide path but blisteringly hot. Managed 92/764 in 22.47 and was 5th in age group so happy enough with that, especially as Tintern was still in my legs and clear evidence of DOMS. :-)
What: TKD
Why: It's Monday and recovering ready for tomorrow
Last hard: parkrun Saturday
Last Rest: Yesterday
Lyrics. Absolutely
Sounds like you enjoyed the weekend SC. The views were amazing though I had to stop to enjoy them - too worried about falling over otherwise!
Hope you haven't done any damage Wabo? Good to hear that you enjoyed your 10k.
I hope you get your walk in Alehouse.
Catching the ferry to work sounds so romantic - though I'm sure that isn't necessarily the case OH!
Perfect running conditions here really and I enjoyed a MLR. Started back along the coast path but there has been a lot of erosion and the path is very uneven, right knee was especially unhappy with any steps and there was no one around (unlike the cinder path which was quite well populated) so I decided that it wasn't very sensible to run back that way and came back via the cinder path too. I think the coast path will have to be a walk.
Dustin, my oh has told me phones are a no no on our holiday
sc what a massive turn out for a park run!!
Happy birthday poppy
LMH sounds sensible
OH interesting commute!
What: running club but will probably run the lanes with a friend rather than do intervals
Why: 2 races this week. Droitwich midweek on Wednesday and Timerhonger 10km on Saturday
Last hard: sleeping. The burglar alarm went off at 3 am. I had to go and find out what had set it off then was terrified the bogeyman was in the house all night
Lyrics: nope
27C here although there is cloud cover...
Have a great evening all.
Emz: you may well win on Wednesday....you might be the only person there!
24 here...and dark.
