Morning.
Lyrics - I don't know where I'm goin'
Everyone sleeping in this morning?
Sorry to hear that you were ill Gobi, hope you haven't prolonged things with your pacing effort - good commitment to your friend though I'm sure she'd have understood in the circumstances!
You sound as though you've lost your mojo a little OH?
A cold and wet run followed by a comfort food dinner sounds like just the thing Hazel.
I won £30 for 1st old woman Alehouse - need to pay the cheque into the bank!
Hamstring is a little tweaky this morning and stomach still not entirely settled (though nowhere near as bad as Gobi's) so I shall see how i feel after walking Grace but with only fifteen weeks until London I'd like to start picking the miles up this week if possible, if not it will be eleven weeks training and a three week taper - doable given my base I guess/hope.
What: hopefully short and easy
Why: the road to London
Last hard: running into that wind yesterday
Last rest: 27/11
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: yes
Yesterday's lyrics were Julie Andrews (playing Mary Poppins) with "A Spoonful of Sugar" (helps the medicine go down), reminding us that in every job that must be done there is an element of fun!
What: about an hour, largely off road
Why: M73's plan. Hope it is less windy and the rain stays away.
LMH: cheque at least pays your entry! 15 weeks is plenty for you for London given where you are starting. Danger is getting stale! Worth reading Muddy and DT's Brass Monkey reports on the Overdone it thread: they make your run sound even better!
Well done on race yesterday LMH and on prize:-)
What: 6 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard: No sleep last night made the run harder than I would have liked.
Lyrics: Nope
6 miles in the bank but body was tired with just 4 hours sleep.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
LmH - excellent performance yesterday, you must be super pleased given the emotional havoc in the last few weeks
Gobi - top work, even more so running on 'empty'
Chick - great park run/long run
Hazel - nice LTP pacing!
Benjy - as others have said, just be aware of that toe and how it may impact gait/striding
What - easy recovery run
Why - Monday
Last Rest - December
Last Hard - Yesterday. 16 miles on trail, just felt a bit drained tbh.
Saturday was 6 miles easy. Canned County XC League as Brother & SiL over for 'Christmas' get together.
Thanks for that Alehouse. Hope you enjoy your run. Dry here.
Well done for getting the miles in despite the lack of sleep Poppy.
When is your next race Dustin?
As I don't streak I think today may be a splash and a sauna, it's probably about time I had a rest day.
What: One hour and 31 seconds
Why: The 31 seconds made it up to 10k. M73 only wanted to do 25 minutes in the end as he still had Saturday's race in his legs, plus 6 hours putting up the course, marshalling and taking the course down, so no surprise! So I added a loop on, and then another. Most off road but Achilles and calf were playing up on uneven ground so put in a couple of road sections. Several "intervals" i.e. had to stop and stretch the lower leg. Enjoyable, particularly now I have finished! Less windy and rained stopped just before we set off.
Wabo: not quite the birthday present you wished for your brother! Spurs looked tired, plus de Gea had one of those days.
I was having a mare this morning LMH, car keys wheres my car keys!! Had to run to OH place and get a spare!!
Lyrics I guess so
LMH well done on the prize!
Alehouse, I think mainly de Gea was amazing tbh, couple looked tired but we had so many efforts, brother was ok lol
Benjy enjoy the 7!
Alehouse nice running glad you enjoyed
HAzel enjoy the long run
what: I hope long run later too
why: did only 3 at my mums yesterday - wanted to spend my morning with her more than run
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good un all
Your weather doesn't sound nice chicksta - well done for getting out in that.
Hope you had a good one Benjy. What are you making of the new Radio 2 line up?
Great to see you building the miles (or ks) Alehouse.
Long run went well - 15 miles in 2:15. Generally kept to a nice steady pace, but upped the effort over the last 5km or so. Pleased to have finished off the peak mileage week on the P&L plan I've been following without anything more than tiredness and minor niggles, but I have work to do with improving my pacing in general.
Needed to start pushing up the miles again.
Last hard 2nd 3
Last rest Saturday
Lyrics no
Other van driver actually said "well done!" (all windows were open despite the rain)
Lyrics - possible
Nice little prize LMH, well done again
Gobi, even when ill you are a machine....!
Mangaed to get to club for the first time in ages tonigh, Ran there then did the run, cut it short as was tired.
What - 1K to club then 5.13m at club
Why - Club night
Last Hard - Parkrun
Last Rest Thurs
Take care all
