Morning.
Lyrics - Well come on pretty baby
Enjoy the skiing Hazel - good cross training.
Are you Norwegian espen? My husband spent some time where you are when he was younger and would like to go back - I've never been.
Hope you have/had a safe journey home emzap.
We had quite a lot of rain overnight and it's cold again this morning (and for the foreseeable according to the Met) so not sure what conditions will be like but as I will be doing the weekly shop and walking Grace first things may have improved by the time I get out for my run. I can hope anyway.
Have you seen the neurologist yet RFJ?
What: short and easy
Why: recovery
Last hard: the wind at Brass
Last rest: 14/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: I believe so.
What: slow parkrun
Why: not a morning for running fast, not that I do anyway. parkrun is now my medium long run of the week; not too long ago it was the long run, so that represents some sort of progress.
And having just brought the milk in...I can confirm, it is rather cold outside, but obviously not as cold as elsewhere. It will be rather a shock for Emz on her return!
Very wet here this morning and over night lots of surface water on roads and pavements which are flooded in places.
What: 6.19 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard: This Lurgy
Lyrics: Maybe not
Last rest 8/1
Torrential rain the whole way ah well better than ice
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Now in Edinburgh, tired
Last hard yesterday
Last rest: 7 days ago
Lyrics: don't think so.
Enjoy Edinburgh and the rest of your break, OH!
Dry here, WP! And no wind. Grey and still.
What: 8k including parkrun
Why: MLR with a progressive run included. Intended it to be reasonably slow but it was warmer than I thought so did put a little more effort than I would have done had it been cooler. 4 degrees though so lots of layers. First k was 5:30, with the rest gradually reducing to 4:32 to record 24:32. Hopefully quite a few more gears yet! Did have to give myself a bit of a talking to around 3k at the exact point that Emz struggled a little when we ran it together. Thanks for the encouragement today Emz!
thanks Benjy, will try as at present not even remembering my log in...
LMH - 01 Feb see the specialist...
wetr wet wet here in Wiltshire....
A good solid parkrun and signe of improvement 22:07 (40 secs better than last week), 1.25m warm up and cool down, one second between them.....
What Parkrun and Miles
Why - Its Saturday... (456 done now)
Last Hard - This morning
Last Rest - Weds
Take care
What: some sunbathing then the long journey back up north
Last hard: walking
Lyrics: nope
Foot still blue and swollen. Redoing strapping to allow for more swelling in plane.
Dogs have realised we are leaving and one won't leave my side. It makes me a bit sad.
Good parkrunning going on this morning (I unfortunately had to miss my planned Hout Bay run for obvious reasons).
Ale good to see steady improvement from you. Rfj too.
Yes please no one else end up on crutches! Be careful on the ice. I'm wondering how cold my foot is going to be when I'm back...
Have a lovely day all
Good MLR Alehouse - it was colder than I was expecting here but no ice fortunately.
Muscle wastage prevention for me this afternoon too Benjy. Nice holidays you have planned.
I think you need a pair of thick socks to put on when you land emzap.
That doesn't sound like much fun Poppy.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday OH.
Do you think the issue is resolving RFJ?
A slightly better run for me this morning, even saw a couple of miles at what would usually be my LSR pace so I'm hoping improvement continues. Avoided my hamstring exercises at the gym.
What: time trial bike testing and spinning legs out AM run PM
Why suits me
Last hard: soft play area and thousands of those small things all afternoon
Last rest : 31st Ocrober
Unlike RFJ I'm not an Saturday regular so no parkrun for me. So here is a question for you Matt.
I started a year before you, just beat you to 250 , do you think you will do 500 before I do 400? I have about 16 to go.
RFJ - yeah same issue with finding the forum, new layout I guess?
Gobi - soft play - Sounds like fun!
Ale - Re strides, well yes, I only call 100s "strides" everything else is 150s/200s/300s.
Bit of a yukky day here, eldest left for Uni this morning - although she's back in a few weeks anyway. Ummed and ahhed about a long run but in the end...
What - 18 miles
Why - Sunday League XC tomorrow (recovery for me) so went long today
last rest - December
last hard - mentally, today.
My daughter is 18 in March
Nicely banked 18 Dustin!
Glad you had a better run LMH.
Go well tomorrow Chick. Wise decision about today.
Hope the weather is ok for your races tomorrow guys.
Gobi - tough Question, at your current rate, then will be about the same time
Good runs Ale and Dustin
