Morning.
Lyrics for Benjy - I've been here before
Hope you feel better today emzap.
A dry start to the day but it's notable how dull/dark the mornings are already. At least we're forecast some warmer weather again after today though I don't think we're getting up to heatwave heights.
What: short and easy
Why: Wednesday/tapering
Last hard: remembering it's only Wednesday having worked yesterday
Last hard: tapering
Last rest: 12/6
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyric - haha good one, and yes!
Wabo - I always used to laugh when people said "ohh they grow up fast don't they", now we're Uni visiting for my youngest. I swear she is still only 7.
That said her text to me yesterday when I was at training was "girls over, pls get a bottle of Jaeger on the way home"
What - easy running & coaching
Why - routine
last rest - 02/07
last hard - Yesterday, 7.5 miles including 8 x250 hill reps on a rutted field
Any races planned Dustin?
Hope you have a good race Wabo.
Nice miles Poppy.
Lyrics: yes
Go well Wabo!
Great July miles from many, notably Chick, particularly compared to a year ago. I seem to be heading in the opposite direction.
What: 2 miles run and it was a struggle.
Why: I've spent a lifetime running and am trying to get back to it! Also it was 2 miles as I have a new Garmin and didn't realise it was set to miles rather than Ks! Had a stroke of good fortune: was looking for a second hand Garmin 310XT as mine finally packed in: found one on Gumtree for £45 and discovered that the seller only lived a couple of miles away. Got there and found it was nearly new! Bargain!
Enjoy your day everyone!
Nice impromptu 16, Benjy. I find it incredibly hard to run an extra loop around my house.
Ale: Thanks I hope that things take a turn for the better soon. Was your 2 miles a struggle because your injuries were playing up again? Congrats on that Garmin bargain though. I bought my 610 like that. It was brand spanking new. Owner had issues with his and Garmin swapped it for a new one. He then decided he wanted something with Bluetooth connectivity and sold the 610.
Wabo: Enjoy your 5k blast tonight.
Poppy: Epic mileage again. Wowzers.
LMH: Lyrics choice made me smile
What: 5 miles in 40 mins on the TM
Why: Thunder and lightning this morning - too treacherous for running. I don't want to get killed by lightning strike.
Last hard: sleeping and looking at the forecast. No end in sight to this heat. This morning's interlude only brought humidity
Last rest: 21/6
Lyrics: yes
Benjy: Epic mileage well done on 16 miles and a great idea for next time to be dropped off and run back on easier course.Hopefully you will find a new to you Garmin soon keep looking.
Might be worth a look...https://uk.webuy.com/search?stext=garmin forerunner&superCatId=5
Wabo: I missed you were racing tonight so go well with Elvis:-)
Chick: Great job on treadmill sometimes it is safer indoors than outside.Shame about the humidity:-( but great bargain on your garmin.

I think 16 was probably a much more sensible distance for today Benjy and you'll be fine for 18 next time. Treat yourself to that new Garmin! It was lovely for my run thank you though the run was shorter than I'd have liked. I don't enjoy tapering.
chicksta - when it started thundering when I was out for my run a few days ago I was trying to find a route to stay under the trees so as not to be the tallest thing around. Not worth the risk when you have an alternative. We are due to warm up again after today but not to your heights.
Glad to say that the poor run was not injury related, Chick! And hopefully there are no repercussions, LMH!
Felt quite exhausted this morning, probably mainly down to poor sleep, plus I actually did four training sessions of different sorts on Monday and Tuesday (1 x a-g treadmill, 2 x exercise bike, 1 x stretches). But feeling considerably better now having just returned from the Christie Hospital: having fractured my back in January all sorts of concerns were raised. In short, blood tests suggested initially that there were slightly raised paraprotein levels, which are one indicator of possible blood cancer. A PET scan was ordered a few weeks ago and the results today showed that there was nothing sinister, whereas I was convinced the writing was on the wall. Now discharged by the haematologist who smiled and said he never wants to see me again. I replied that I might bump into him at a parkrun in the near future (he runs as well). To say I am relieved is an understatement! Hope the prostate consultant is as positive in October!
And thanks for the kind words, Benjy!
Wise decision re the lightning, Chick: have had two friends struck down and killed, one on a golf course and one climbing in the Dolomites. Pretty well the only thing I wouldn't consider running in.
Emz: not sure about this match going to the 4th day!
I will be visiting the alehouse later.
