Morning.
Lyrics - I am the road I walk alone
Wet and windy in the early hours but I'm hoping it will have dried up and calmed down by the time I'm ready to go out. Will make a change from cold and slippery anyway.
Thanks for the smile Gobi - a good way to start a Monday.
What: hoping for a MLR
Why: should have time before work
Last hard: sleeping
Last rest: 27/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: run with M73.
Why: trying to run with him on a Monday. He wants 40 minutes. I would be happy to make it up to an hour if I feel ok. Hopefully the rain will have passed through by the time we run.
Talking of shorts, there is a guy near here that I often see running: a portly gentleman probably from the Indian sub-continent wearing just shorts and a pair of the sort of gym shoes that I would have worn at school. Bare chest, whatever the weather.
awol over the weekend but I see Alex has popped back into the room!
Like RFJ we've been dealing with some snow, although heavy overnight rain that was still going this morning is starting to have the desired effect!
Saturday was 12.5miles over the fields in pristine, fresh and crispy snow. Plenty of high knee resistance running. Took about 2h20.
Sunday took the club runners out for a snow adventure. 10 miles including the obligatory lie in the sun and make snow angels. Will try to put a couple of snaps up later.
Today - lunchtime run
Why - recovery
last rest - 2 weeks
last hard - Saturday's 'long' run
Dustin: Snow angels I love making snow angels
Benjy: Thanks for you thinking about me and glad you are all straight again.
What: 6.65 miles
Why: Because I could get out!
Last hard past 5 days
Lyrics: Nope
Last rest 2/2
It was so good to be out even in heavy rain I had to be careful as my chest torch is going back as stopped charging again.
Yesterdays Lyrics which are a big favorite of mine my legs always run fast when that song comes on
Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I also just laughed at the thought of sounds of encouragement from the trailer Gobi.
Brrr - Alehouse... Hope you can get in a nice outing with M73.
Seems you made the most of the snow at the weekend Dustin.
Good you have been able to get out again despite the rain WP. Just listened to Born to Run :-)
Have a good start to the week everyone.
What: some sort of general aerobic run, probably around 8 miles
Why: should be able to fit that in later and legs too tired for speed work today after the snow-trudging of the weekend.
Last hard: sliding around in the soggy snow yesterday
Last rest: 1.2.
What: just over 60 minutes
Why: happy hour! About 40 minutes with M73 then pushed on to make up the hour. Thought the ice had all gone but had to turn around and change course when we suddenly hit a stretch of sheet ice on the river bank.
Another week of no weight loss.
chicksta, how nice to get a sunny run!
alehouse happy hour! glad you avoided the ice
hazel enjoy the 8 miles
poppy, nice miles!
wow dustin you got some good snowy runs in! Hope the lunch miles were good
LMH hope you managed an MLR
I was out for 1.42 yesterday all off road. A mate accompanied me for 40 mins, 10 mins solo to meet oh then he joined me taking me through trails up and down!! Lovely run and great to have company
what: 40 gentle mins later
why: schedule
last hard: yesterday
last rest: 31/12/16
I have to g o get the stitch taken out from under my right eye (doc said it would come out itself). It is so sore that I rang the clinic only to be told the doc should have said I have to go to my doc for the nurse to remove it!! Not happy
Wabo what a pain
Dustin that sounds like fun!
What: 2 walks, 3 km in total
Why: progressing but not overdoing it
Last hard: not going running
Lyrics: nope
Have a lovely day all.
Wabo oww hope you get it sorted soon
Back to work tonight had a week off so did a little run walk today and weird equaled last years mileage today. Told you it was a bad year (22)
What: 2.45 miles run walk
Why: fitness
Last hard: everyday
Lyrics no
Been living by the rule if I run one day I rest the next broke that one as work tonight so don't know how I will feel tomorrow but working out a way if some days I can run home sometimes even if part of the way
Nice long run there Wabo. Hope you have got that stitch removed now.
I can run slower though chicksta. Nice to get a run in the sun.
Sounds like a fun weekend Dustin. Hope your legs weren't too bad today.
Good that you got the hour in Alehouse.
Nice to get out emzap.
Hope you have a nice easy run Hazel. Have conditions improved?
I would definitely have gone stir crazy if I'd been stuck in for that long Poppy - not much chance of that with Grace though.
Warmer but breezy and wet for my run, much easier to run in than the slippery stuff though.
lMH stitch appointment is tomorrow morning at 10.20, I can't wait. Hope your run was ok
What: rollers am d&d watt bike pm
Why: love it
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: October 31st
Lyrics : yes
Have I mentioned I hate rain recently ?
Passing time, keeping active
Heading home tomorrow
Last hard today (in many ways)
Last rest yesterday
Lyrics no
You are correct Hazel: no weight gain either! Bit surprised as it needs to drop and usually does with more running. Nice session from you, and as you say weather conditions do not help with hitting paces.
Hope tomorrow goes well, Wabo. And good training!
Don't rush things Emz!
Meant to say, wonder how Don is. Must nearly be half term! Mine is next week.
Quick update from me as am on phone and it's hard work!
Gobi - you were around on here years ago the same time as me but I think It was when I first came on this thread. I used to follow your blog too. I'm actually unsure why I stopped reading it!
Benjy - UKGT for me in Chepstow.
Thanks for all the welcome backs! Not been for a run yet but it's brewing.
Weighed earlier. 16st 6lbs. Deep joy. It's a long and winding road I guess...
What: Taekwon-Do tbis evening.
Why: it's Monday
Last hard: footy last week
Last rest: yesterday.
Lyrics: 90% yes.
