Yesterday's lyrics - Slow Down by The Jam.
Enjoy chicksta - no wind is good.
Hope today's other racers have a good one.
Today and tomorrow are the best days for a long run here according to the Met forecast but I don't think the hamstring is up to it today - as ever I shall see how it is once I've walked Grace/when I get going.
What: easy miles
Why: sanity
Last hard: ongoing in law situation
Last rest: 14/1
Lyrics - possibly.
Lyrics: no. re yesterday's The Beatles recorded Slow Down also, and that also was a cover version.
Go well racers!
What: short and easy plus fitness suite
Why: not exceeding the 10% per week increase rule.
Slough Black Park 10k for me today, aim was to really test the leg out to the 10k without issue... which meant trying to be a little conservative pace wise.... had aimed to go out at about 8:15s.... blew that out the window straight away. A nice two lap course with a slight incline on the 2 and 5 miles. Was starting to feel tired on mile 6 so was concerntrating on form and leg more than pace, which worked, no falls, and very little dragging, which was encouraging esp as was a trail race (abliet very compact and hard with the frost etc), splits below, which I am happy with. will wait for official results but watch says 50:08.
2) 1m - 8:05
Take care all
Good luck Chick and fellow racers
What 6.70 miles

Back home at last after a long journey. Tube and the walk between moor st and new st stations not fun on crutches! Someone nicked my Heathrow wheelchair transport too so had to wait ages for another to come.
Nap soon. Think I managed about 3 hours on the plane.
Ankle now blue on inside as well as outside.
Well done chick a great result especially with conditions my asthma is like that so you did well!!
RFJ: well done on race and not falling over and sounds like you achieved what you wanted

Lyrics no
Well done Chicksta
Running-wise you move to a new age-group on the day, or if it is a series of races, the age on the date of the first race is what matters.
Nicely done, Chick and RFJ!
And welcome back, Emz! Will you be seeing the physio?
So I imagine Wabo is elated and RFJ is crying in his beer, football-wise.
37.4k for the week, which is the highest total for more than 18 months. I know it doesn't sound much and is not much more than an LMH long run, but I'm pleased! Just need to keep slowly building and aim for a decent summer's racing.
Ale hoping to book doc's appointment tomorrow.
Early night needed here.
