Monday 28th January 2019 - I had no choice but to hear you

Morning.

Lyrics - I had no choice but to hear you

Another cold one here - not sure whether it's going to be slippery out or not. Still not sleeping well nor feeling 100% but RHR is up less than 10bpm so no excuse not to run easy conditions permitting.

What:            easy miles
Why:             sanity
Last hard:     managing stress/making the right decisions
Last rest:      27/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    Yesterday's were "Murder on the Dance Floor", Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

    Wabo: I feel your football pain...again! Was pleased for Andros Townsend though...and I bet you would normally have a soft spot for him! He typified the effort the Palace players put in; not sure the Spurs team had quite the same commitment. Nor the management. 

    What: whatever M73 decides

    Why: I join M73 for his run on a Monday. Ideally an hour or so, but feeling a little niggly: left knee, right calf, right hip, back aches, the bit between my ears etc. And it is freezing. Anyone would think it is winter.

    Morning..

    Forget to say well done to Dustin for the XC - sorry.  Can imagine the legs are a bit tired after the trail run on top.

    Hope you can manage the hour Ale, maybe the niggles will settle down once you get moving?

    Have a good start to the week everyone.

    What:  bit grim outside - sleet and windy - but will do a longer run later
    Why: get some fresh air and legs feel good
    Last rest:  yesterday

    Lyrics: no

    Alehouse I love andros and have a massive soft spot for him.  My daughter was friends with his brother who sadly died in a car crash on the way to a football game. See him look to the sky after he scored. Yep love him lots.
    I have a bit of an achy knee, bashed into a box at work the other day grrr!

    Morning again!

    Yes, I remember you saying about Kurtis, Wabo.

    Hope the weather improves for your run, Hazel.

    Sounds like a good weekend's work Dustin.

    Hope you got some easy miles in, LMH.

    What: 69:15

    Why: 70 minutes would have been pushing it. Mainly off road on a bright sunny winter's morning. Back ached and calf niggled but didn't stop the enjoyment.

    So how did it go, Gobi?

    And just wondering how OL is doing.

    Nice frosty running, OH.

    Haha, ale. Glad you were sensible and didn't do 70 mins ;)

    That sounds really grim, Hazel.

    I'd be careful with a resting HR up 10 beats, LMH. Especially if it's cold.

    So I went out and managed a little run in the drizzle. Pace was obviously a joke but I am feeling loads better for having been out there. I hope the post-viral shitness is short lived. The only good thing about this illness is the weight loss. I'm the lightest I've been since I was 16 I think :)

    What: 4 miles
    Why: first run in a week
    Last hard: lurgy
    Last rest: 23/1
    Lyrics: no

    what: ride d&d run and gym PM

    why: life goes on

    Last hard: yesterday, a solid run and into a bike ride that ended at 3 miles with a puncture, sucks as my legs were good - gutted as now I have to do another qualifier. To make it worse I looked at  the people around me and they were top 7. Worse than that, my bike split in 2017 on this course was faster than the winners yesterday.

    Last rest : October 31st

    Lyrics: No

    Sucks, Gobi :(
    That's why I'm not into anything that involves bikes. Too much technical shit that can go wrong.
    Is there another qualifier soon?

    Nightmare Gobi. I was always grateful to finish the bike leg as I knew that then it was all down to me.

    Did you have a bad stomach too or just no appetite chicksta? Glad you were able to get out today. RHR only 8bpm up so ok to run easy.

    Sounds like a tough run OH.

    Hope conditions improved for your run Hazel.

    That sounds like a lot of niggly bits Alehouse, hope they have all settled now.

    Hope your knee is ok to run on Wabo.

    Not surprised your legs are a little fatigued Dustin - sounds like a good weekend's training.

    I thought you preferred winter running Poppy  :)

    I had a lovely run, it was cold but bright and I just felt loads better for being out, this resting stuff just doesn't suit me.


    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Glad you had a good run, LMH: just what you needed! I think the niggles are there to remind me not to increase too soon!

    Progress, Chick! 

    And good miles banked there in the cold WP and OH!

    Sounds a lot more positive, LMH. No stomach bug, thank god. Just no appetite. The only thing I fancied were oranges. Very weird as I usually don't like them - too much faff. Satsumas are loads easier to peel but this time it just had to be oranges.

    I'm back to normal eating now. Just had roast potatoes with a green salad and feta cheese.

    Oh no Gobi. That is a shame with the puncture.

    Good to see you back out Chicksta.  Yumm to the roast potatoes.

    Good news you had a good run today to start the week LMH.

    Nice outings by Ale, OH and WP.

    8 river miles d&d this afternoon.  Bit breezier than I like and the mix of soft snow and slush meant wet feet but I didn't get cold so no big thing.
