Yesterday's lyrics - The Winner Takes It All by Abba.
Hope you're still smiling chicksta
Did you get your weather Benjy?
Sounds as though you've recovered well emzap.
Busy time of year I guess Donaldo. Good that you were able to get the long run in - how long until your race now?
It's blowing a bit of a hooley here Poppy, hope it's ok for your walk.
Are you racing again soon Wabo?
How is your hamstring SC?
What: short and easy/gym
Why: it's not conducive out there/need to get my session in
Last hard: preparing for he renovations (packing up bits of the kitchen now)
Last rest: 19/8
Lyrics - no.
Lyrics: yes!
What: short run and long Pilates
Why: Tuesday's script!
A fair breeze here, too! Hope it stays dry.
what - lunchtime miles
why - no training tonight, Mrs D has a birthday
last rest - couple of weeks
last hard - Saturday
Not sure if it's the dark mornings but feel very sleepy these days. Still very mild though, shirt sleeves to the station at 5:45
Hammy not happy but not too unhappy. Think wee strains or a couple of micro tears inside top and bottom. No reaction on yesterday's run but sore after and into last night. Was going to apply "The stick" but bottled it. Will try again today
What: Short and easy
Why: Common sense
Last hard: Accepting I may be damaged
Last Rest: Friday
Lyrics: yes
Have a good one all and keep off that bench!
Poppy, glad the foot is on the up, enjoy your walk
SC, keep the hammy off the bench!
Dustin enjoy lunchtime and definitely the birthday!
alehouse enjoy your short run and pilates
LMH enjoy the short and easy, next race is 30/9, my daughters birthday but I am doing a 31 mile bike ride Saturday in the Chilterns with OH (hes doing 101 or 81, prob 81)
what: 2.5 this am, might sneak a little one in later, wind almost made me not!
why: streak baby
last hard: this morning mentally not feeling it (best time to do it)
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
Poppy: Wow, only 7 days to go! We're down to single digits already.
LMH: Yep, still grinning. And still unbelievably grateful that my hamstring didn't go. That was my worst fear.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Dustin
Nice club work, em.
Please stay off the bench, SC.
Such a beautiful morning, legs feel absolutely fine apart from left hamstring and I'm condemned to stay off my feet. Bugger.
What: upper body work in the gym
Why: can't run and apprehensive about walking too
Last hard: DNF scare on Sunday
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics: yes
Happy Birthday to Mrs D.
SC: Glad you hear the shout,The Stick weapon of torture I am also a wimp when applying it.
Wabo : Great streaking especially in the wind.
Chick:Be careful there is no room for you on injury Bench:-)
In fact there is no room for anyone I have spread my rather larger than normal bottom out so no one can sit on it for at least 7 days;-)
I think this week will drag as I am eager to get going and really fed up with the boot.But this time next week i will be bootless-yay

SC - I wouldn't use the stick on it. Either a gentle foam roll or stretch and nothing more. When mine is grumbling I find it will tolerate easy flat miles but object loudly if I try to run any kind of incline or push the pace.
chicksta - sorry to hear that your hamstring is too bad for you to run on. Still hot eh? Why aren't we having an Indian summer!
Wabo - I'm the same, need to get my runs in the morning if possible.
Are things feeling better Alehouse?
I'm sure any weight you've gained will drop off once you're back running Poppy.
It was windy out for my run but not 'march of the wheelie bin' bad and as others have noted nice and mild. Just back from the gym so I can tick that off too.
At least I managed a gentle gym session with kettlebells but used just the light ones and took it real easy. Working up a sweat felt good though. I'm getting tetchy.
LMH: I could probably run on it - hey, I ran a marathon on it and it didn't get any worse. But it's also not getting better which worries me a bit. I might try a bit of run/walk tomorrow because the rest of me feels absolutely raring to go.
What: rest
Why: don't want to end up on the bench!
Last hard: getting up this morning, I slept until 7! That is not normal for me!
Lyrics: nope
Stay off that bench everyone Glad there's only 7 more days for you Poppy.
Chick I think I'm still eating for 10 days ago!
I think Helene is here, it's very very windy out there (and some nutter is mowing their lawn!).
Have a lovely evening all.
