Morning.
Lyrics - I play out my role
Yesterday's lyrics - Breathless by William Prince.
It's hot already here this morning and we're forecast to hit 28C, it's going to be a warm one this week if the Met Office are correct.
What: short and easy/lunch with P
Why: ran long yesterday/he wants to talk about what went wrong
Last hard: I'm not doing hard
Last rest: 12/6
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

LMH: I hope it is cooler for you that predicted:-(
What: 5.25 miles
Why: Because I can and all my body wanted to run
Last hard: The heat/sleeping
Lyrics; Nope
Boy that was an awful night so that made for a shorter run as body tired and air quality was awful so humid at 5am!! I feel I will need a nap later!

Not a good forecast here: grey and cloudy with thunderstorms...and 26 degrees.
What: short run/walk
Why: because I think I can. I know I was going to do alternate days but today fits better and tomorrow won't be a run day.
Lyrics: no
Hot here too. Today will be the coolest of the week with 29 max. Then it's up to 35 degrees for the next couple of days apparently. But as we can't do much about it we'll just have to grin and bear it I suppose. I'm hoping for a magical pace improvement if it ever gets cooler again
LMH: Enjoy lunch with P. Did he run a marathon that didn't go to plan?
Benjy: sounds stressful. Hope you get the planned 7 in.
Poppy: It's all good miles in the bank
What: a laboured 10 miles today
Why: I was awake and had the time so coaxed my unwilling legs around
Last hard: that was harder than pace/HR would indicate -- sometimes it's all in the head
Last rest: 21/6
Lyrics: yes
Ale: looks like steady improvement. Hope it continues. Try and keep smiling
WP: Sometimes a wee bit shorter is good. (Your short being long for me these days)
LMH: I'll be on an easy too.
Looks like Emz and I conspired to join second largest parkrun in Britain on Saturday as Cannon Hill jumped in attendance this week. Fairly sedate and easy course. Talk of a hill at the start turned out to be a very gentle incline in Welsh terms :-). 2/3 of my last parkruns I've finished in a position my home run rarely sees :-)
What: Short and gentle
Why: Recovery from tiring weekend
Last Hard: Staying awake last night
Last Rest: Friday
Lyrics: No bells ringing
I might know the lyrics???
SC sounds like a good park run! Enjoy short and gentle
chick, nice one to get 10 miles in early doors, even if its is laboured!
alehouse, lovely to see you can!!
popps still nice mileage in my book, well done
benjy, hope the office is not too uncomfortable, enjoy the 7
LMH intriguing, what went wrong? hope you and P enjoy today
I enjoyed Mile End park run Sat, 2nd my age out of 4. I was slow ish but all good and strong again!
what: 1.5 miles near work this morning
why: out tonight to some Bob Marley tribute night
last hard: this morning
last r est: 31/12/16
have a good day all, gonna be so hot!
Too hot here for a chippy tea Benjy - hope you get a bit of a sea breeze.
Enjoy the run Alehouse.
Yes P ran a marathon yesterday trying to get his new GFA but he hadn't put the training in basically (which he's acknowledging). You can't blag a fast marathon.
Keep it easy until you get over the weekend SC.
I'm sure you do know the lyrics Wabo.
Sorry to hear you're still struggling in the heat Poppy - I think I must be acclimatising.
What: 3k earlier, in two parts with about a k walk in the middle
Why: not rushing things
Lyrics, nope.
Benjy good luck I do not fancy your run in the heat!!
I don't think you can cut corners in marathons ever in fact any race I have to work hard to get slow results
