Morning.
Lyrics - It's not worth anything
More than this at all.
Had a look/listen to the Twitter Gobi. It's great that you are so proud. Does B know what she wants to do next?
What: probably a MLR though could be a LSR if I feel good
Why: running as I feel
Last hard: I'm keeping it easy
Last rest: 14/10
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Yesterday's lyrics were "War", Edwin Starr.
Lyrics: no
Enjoy your longish run, LMH.
Anything to report, WP?
Was it a big day at school yesterday, Don?
What: whatever run I can fit in
Why: working so depends on the light as well as niggles
Gobi - you must be very proud
Chick- huge congrats on the win
Benjy - hope the doctor's probing wasn't too invasive...
Don - quality XC time!
What - A run at lunchtime
Why - because I can!
Last rest - Saturday
Last hard - Saturday
Team manager for the XC on Saturday anyway and what started as a dry, bright day descended into torrential rain, rivers of mud and some hail. I had planned to run, but as the weather turned (and I got progressively colder despite waterproofs), I erred on the sensible side of not making my first dabble at a run on a technical muddy course.
Gutted as it was horrible conditions, just my kind of thing. A lingering snotty nose and sore throat / chest probably wouldn't have helped either.
Yesterday killed an hour while #2 was swim coaching to chalk up a 10k, first 3 at 8:20s, turned and ran back in 7:40s
A bit of muscle tightness but nothing sinister.
An easy few days ahead but looks as if 4-5 days of rest were worth it.
New Order on Friday at Ally Pally were excellent. Seen them countless times but they really were very good this time. Benjy would be pleased as they played Love Vigilantes, and a usual mix of old (Ultraviolence) New, (Tutti Frutti) and the classics of Temptation, Blue Monday and True Faith. Encore was 3x Joy Division numbers.
SC: I am sorry about friends dad, there is a spate of death's lately:-( I lost a friend a few weeks ago although only found out on Friday.I hope you post when you feel up to it and that knee sorts it self out! Can you do TKD?
LMH:I hope you had an enjoyable run
Chick well done on placing and race was it a half marathon?
I hope I never gave the wrong impression it was not a race just a Poppy run you sign up donate £5 to the Poppy Appeal and then run 10k on your own as lots of folk running up and down the land and they raised £10,000 which is fab.
I chose to run at Aberafan as flat 14m of climbing compared to 200-300 back home.Weather was not kind heavy rain and winds it blew me all over the place so head down and get it done.I observed the 2 minute silence and was rewarded by a beautiful Rainbow, which made my day. finishing in 62 minutes this involved 1/4 mile of flooding water above ankle so had to run on grass and my achilles hates grass and on the return journey, so all things considered a great run. Last 0.35 mile started with a 7 and not seen that number in a long time.
What: 6 miles easy
Why: Because i can
Last hard: yesterday
Lyrics: Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Great that you enjoyed your run yesterday Benjy. Dry, bright but breezy here.
I think it was the 'Aberfan 10k' that caused the confusion Poppy. Lovely idea and rewarded with a rainbow
Hope work and light are conducive Alehouse.
Don't disappear SC - you're welcome when benched and/or miserable - you always have things to offer.
My first student cancelled this morning giving me an extra hour so I decided it would be silly not to take advantage as we never know what will happen so I made miles whilst the sun shone and my LSR is done.
SC: So sorry to read you're seriously benchend Like others said, stick around and feel free to offload your frustration.
LMH: Good you managed an LSR.
Dustin: At least one is off the bench. Top marks for being sensible.
Benjy: That pic was a bit deceiving. Those trainers (and socks) were quite filthy, trust me. I had to stick them in the washing machine
What: strength work at the gym
Why: sticking to my 5 days of running is enough routine
Last hard: getting those trainers clean
Last rest: 9/10
Lyrics: there endeth my streak
She is hoping to go to Uni and study music
What: 6 miles d&d run and gym PM
Why: it is a good question
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: 31st October
Lyrics: Nope
Glad you managed to get a long run in, LMH.
Hurry up back, SC...but don't rush things!
What: managed to get 20 minutes running in
Why: it gets dark rather early. And calf/Achilles area is of slight concern so that was enough: could well have been from running on grass on Saturday, thinking about it, as per WP...and well done on your Aberfan run.
Alehouse, massive day for us yesterday, especially as 3 students have lost a parent in the last 6 months. A moving day.
Benjy, knee is same as ever! Very sore but I am managing it.
6 miles yesterday, 4 today.
Lyrics, no.
