Morning all, surprised to be first "in"
What - hopefully an easy run at lunchtime, coaching the village group this evening
Why - fitting it in, South West Rail on strike again (no coincidence it's a 4-dayer in half term, hmmmm
last rest - Saturday
last hard - Sunday
knee ok yesterday, a bit tight but been stretching like a rubber band. Low key (Sunday League) XC this week, hope to give that a run.

Yesterday's lyrics - Still Want You by Brandon Flowers.
I'm short for time on a Tuesday morning this semester Dustin - hence no thread start from me.
What's happening on Friday Alehouse?
Windy here too Poppy though not as bad as OH had it I don't think.
These things throw us Wabo - glad it started second time though.
One of those weird runs for me this morning where everything felt great, I felt as though I was really flowing and moving well - and the mile splits were 20-30 seconds slower than I'd expect. Ah well, I enjoyed being out and was pleased to fit something in.
What: short
Why: work stops play
Last hard: fitting it in this morning
Last rest: 14/10
Lyrics - vaguely familiar.
Wabo, did you do Chingford league?
Still windy until late afternoon. Boats cancelled.
Badminton this evening, possibly short run before then. No sea swimming today.
Banana and walnut loaf in oven.
Last hard: yesterday evening
Last full rest: Monday
Lyrics no
Did 5 last night, steady pace. Club night tonight, looking forward to working hard again. Hoping for some 800s or similar. National XC relays this Saturday so should be fun.
Lyrics, nope.
Greatw ekend all round. Weather fantastic. Was going to parkrun Bois de Boulogne but realised I was only 10 minutes walk from Montsouris so decided to do it again and save some time for touristy stuff. Three lapper with a nasty 500m uphill on each lap. Last time there were 27 runners, this week 45. 22.10 done and dusted, finishing 11th and unsurprisingly 1st in age group but 71% WAVA even with a pit stop for SVT on lap two. This determined i would go easy on Sunday. Bit of chaos as RER B/D so hectic journey to get the numbers for Sunday at Stade de France. Two lap half marathon and got to run round the inside of the stadium and finished on the running track outside. That was a bit special. Unremarkable suburban/town route with one nice click through the park. A fair bit of course entertainment. Well marshalled and well organised. T-shirt/medal/massage for under 25euros makes La Voie Royale a bargain half. Negative split as took it easy on first half getting HR well down and under control after the usual adrenaline rush at the start. Came in at 1.42.35 chip and 202/500+, top 20 age group, no complaints. Spent second half passing people, which was fun. Stopped for selfie in the stadium but caught everyone who ran past while I was in the process of being touristy. I wasn't time chasing so couldn't resist the opportunity :-) Back to work today and mood is certainly brighter.
What: Wee bimble
Why: recovery
Last Hard: Lots of walking round Paris on Saturday and paying Parisian prices for a beer!
Last Rest: yesterday
Lyrics: Don't recognise
What: 20 min run walk
Why: back to basics
Last hard: that
Lyrics no
Back to work tonight
Wishful thinking Alehouse?
Baking sounds nice OH, want to get back to it myself but need to sort the kitchen out first then it will be the fun of a new oven. I am baking a birthday cake for my FiL tomorrow but it's a fruit cake so hopefully relatively forgiving.
Enjoy running with your club tonight Donaldo.
Are you over your illness now Wabo?
Perhaps you will recap this year where you have been and value for money.
My local half is £40 and I have so far declined to enter as seems a tad expensive.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: 2 km run to pick up car
Why: short of time and running was faster than walking
Last hard: coughing. Once I start I can't stop.
Lyrics: nope
Physio was pleased with how my legs responded to marathon. Accident injury has behaved itself
Good to see you back and feeling better SC. Sounds like a nice weekend.
Chick oh no hope you feel better soon
Baked an early grey tea cake today
Have a lovely evening all.
