Morning 
Lyrics today: Come on, who can, who can, can hear the bass drum?
Hoping for a 10 miler but it's still pitch black out there

Winter seems to be approaching far too quickly chicksta
What: MLR
Why: not running long this week
Last hard: waiting for my back to get back to normal
Last rest: 19/8
Lyrics - no.
Good luck with your 10 miler Chick it is dark and not light here till around 6am where as when I was out running it was 5.15.
LMH: Good luck on MLR wont be long for your half?
Back is achy so no crunches will look at some hand weights and knitting :)if it eases off will try 50 crunches.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Yesterday's lyrics were "What's Up?", 4 Non Blondes
Lyrics: not today
What: Tuesday is big stretch day
Why: Pilates session this evening. Have time to run but won't be: Achilles and calf creaking.
How was the half, SC?
And I bet you smiled, and more, during the second half, Wabo!
Well it's now officially winter: dark when I get on the train
That said I did manage a few hours in the garden yesterday after a torrential wipeout on Sunday!
What - steady lunchtime, coaching tonight
Why - recovery, schedule
last rest - 2 weeks
last hard - Saturday's track I guess.
Sunday was 16 easy over the fields and woods, yesterday 9 miles on hills plus 3 last night recovery.
Dustin well managed with teh garden, I also sneaked mine in on Saturday just before it teemed down, phew, enjoy your steady and coaching!
alehouse, I watched it at my son's he made us all wear a spurs shirt, lol! So happy with that result!! not so happy with the new stadium progress. enjoy your stretching!
WP, oh I love knitting I always want to but never find thetime, have a good day and I hope your back eases up
LMH, your back too, enjoy your mlr
Chick, hope you've got out for the 10!
I did another 5k yesterday, 28.42, think I'd have been quicker but I stopped to high 5 cleo and lyla and it messed up my pace for a bit. But a good strong race again and then did 2k kids run with Cleo bless her and Lyla in the buggy pushed by my mate, they both got medals!
What: 1.5 miles am, going to fit in another 2 later
why: just keeping going
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
Off to Crete Thursday, worrying about keeping my streak going, it's not easy there, no pavements etc. OH promises me we'll sort it ;-)
Dustin: Packing in the miles. What's next for you?`
LMH: Is your half this weekend?
Ale: Being sensible is key. Enjoy Pilates.
Poppy: Hope your back eases. My osteo told me not to do crunches as it upsets the back easily. She says abs are holding muscles, so better ab exercises would be planks (which obviously you can't do with the foot) and v-sits (in yoga it's the boat pose).
What: 10 miles done, just as it began to get light
Why: 10 is the new 5
Last hard: realising how much shorter the days are
Last rest: 21/6
Hand weights and knitting Poppy? I'd rather crunch :-). Enjoy and you too with the Pilates Ale. Some good running over the weekend Dudtin/Emz/Wabo. Have fun on the run LMH. Impressed with a 100 in the dark Chicksta. Stave off the winter and bring back a warm spell please!
Well Sunday was fun, yes, really. Sat night bit of pasta with beer and wine and couple or more beers afterwards in the interests of carbo loading. Woke up to the weather as forecast: dreich would be an understatement. Started bad and fell away. Thought about heading out for a 1.50-2.00 but it was too cold and
wet so aimed for the 1.45 pacer and got by him at 3 miles. Knew there were a few undulates and one biggy to come so needed some spare in the tank for that. After a slow first K kept them turning over sub 4.30's until the uphills began. Snuck in a 4.59 and 4.57 before the 6.07 hill during which 1.45 man passed me by. Can't be having that, I thought so on the downhill reeled him in keeping sub 4.45's for the next 5k before 3k of gentle rise and nearer 5's. That's the thing about span bridges going up then down :-). Picked up in the last 2k by which time my gear was weighing at least three times as much as the start. (The leggings were skin tight and black at the start! I don't do cold) Finished 1.42.07 and 258/1360+ so very happy especially as no issues. Got to be happy with that but I'm a runner and 1m/m off pb so wasn't at first and I could have really run sub 1.40 but any blip and it could easily have been a 1.50. Talked to self, gave self pat on the back and let myself off gently. See below for thumbs up for club mate marshaling and taking pics for 3.5hrs!!! The speedy guy behind was in the 10k which started an hour after us but shared the last 3k to finish!
Lyrics: Nope
What: Wee jog
Why: Club tonight
Last Hard: Holding back being sensible on Sunday
Last Rest: Yesterday
And well done on another 5k, Wabo.
EMZ: no tickets for Edgbaston. Went on sale at Lancashire at 9; sold out by the time I got through at 10...and I am a priority customer! Can't have been allocated many tickets. Saves me a small fortune though.
Glad you got your ten in chicksta, next Sunday for my half - the 9th.
Another race and a another holiday Wabo - nice! Has your OH recovered?
Sounds as though we had the same weather on Sunday Dustin - though it sounds as though it didn't put you off running.
Sorry your back is still playing up Poppy.
What's going on with your calf and achilles Alehouse? Have you worked it out?
LMH, amazing how his hand has recovered!! He is back to normal now.
LmH - dodged the rain on Sunday. It started the minute I got in: filled the kettle, looked out the window, and then the rain started...
