Morning!
Lyrics: Let it never be said the romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else occupying my head
Hope the new job goes well, RFJ! And I guess you will know the lyrics.
Emz: hope there is no foot reaction this morning...and the quiz was good. And we'll done on the bloods!
What: probably a short run
Why: been asked to work today, plus Achilles is rather painful this morning. Hopefully will ease.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Yesterday's lyrics - On The Streets I Ran by Morrissey.
Sorry to hear that your achilles is grumbling Alehouse, hope it settles quickly.
Sounds as though your recovery is progressing nicely emzap. I need to get my bloods done too but can't be bothered to trek into town (it's just an annual check).
Windy again here this morning though the rain isn't forecast to come in until later so hopefully conditions won't be as bad as they were for yesterday's run.
What: miles that won't feel as easy as the pace would suggest they should
Why: London/sanity
Last hard: being enthusiastic for the former/holding on to the latter
Last rest: 27/1
Lyrics - of course.
Frightening stuff OH, glad you're OK
What - easy lunchtime
Why -routine plus XC tomorrow
last rest - 19 days
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - easy one!
OH: What a scare !!
Hazel: Yes you are so right when someone takes over a race not always for the best and I certainly feel this way about the two Llanelli races.
LMH: I have not entered yet but 14th April will make mind up this weekend but i may leave it alone.
No Alex yesterday was he out with his go faster kit on:-)
Wabo: Sorry to hear about your OH what a pair you are with your eye and his broken toe.
What: 6 miles
Why: because I can
Last hard fighting the wind and rain
Lyrics: Yes after the clue;-)
last rest 2/2
I had to abandon run after 2.5 miles yesterday so pleased to run today even if it was slow.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Weather for my race on Sunday is dire :-)

Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest : 31st October
Lyrics: familiar
Blimey team Wabo :-0
Ale - be careful
Being sensible
Should have known lyrics but had to Google
LMH accident prone indeed, remember when he dropped a drill on the top of my foot! His accidents are not only self inflicted!! Hope your miles are not too windy
Team wabo Gobi lol! Rotten weather not good news
WP, at least my eye wasn't self inflicted, and I can run lol! He is a silly s*d Enjoy your 6, hope not too windy
alehouse enjoy the short run and take care (as if you wouldn't) of the achilles
dustin enjoy the lunchtime run, hope xc goes well
benjy, OH is walking and working, not sure he should though! Have a good 7!
RFJ good luck in the new job
Lyrics no
What: 45 mins later, 3 x 10 min efforts I think
why: schedule
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
Got a mate for company on my long run tomorrow - other option was a really tough muddy 10 miler that I didn't fancy being last in! Marshalling first at park run
Have a great weekend all good luck all racers, hope the weather isn't too unkind
Well done to all that managed to run in the wind and wet yesterday and to Chicksta for a session like that in the heat of the gym (don't know which scenario is the worst).
Hope you are feeling a bit recovered now OH - nasty!
Well done for dealing with the needles emzap.
Good luck for starting your new job RFJ.
Not good news on the Achilles Ale.
Dire weather in a race could also mean a PB or an otherwise good result Gobi - good encouragement to get it over and done with as soon as possible!
Good luck with the self-employment Benjy.
Good luck to those racing this weekend.
I didn't manage my speedwork yesterday - more stress at work and tired legs (not sure why that bad) left me struggling round 14k at a fairly easy pace. I did have a brief look at a 1km loop I often use for intervalls but deep puddles on the straights and ice on the corners put me right off.
Lost the mojo a bit this week somehow. Never mind. Will get started onto an HM plan as of next week, this time with a race at the end of it.
What: Nowt
Why: Weekend away XC skiing with some people from my Tuesday running group, need to catch the train later and no time to run beforehand.
Next hard: Hmm not getting too drunk during said weekend and not falling over on the skis too often (pretty crap at xc skiing)
Last rest: Today
Lyrics: No
Hope your run blew some of the cobwebs away Benjy.
If you're not that bothered I'd save the money Poppy.
Enjoy the run in company tomorrow Wabo.
Gobi - good job it isn't a target race.
How are you feeling OH?
Running and team managing tomorrow Dustin?
It was windy and getting windier as I ran this morning and the rain came in early too but it was nowhere near as bad as yesterday fortunately. It's not looking good for the next couple of days either.
Ale, lytics, Yes, we sang them on Wednesday night :-)
Dustin all the best with XC, will be muddy no doubt with recent weather
Gobi - Bummer ref weather
6.75m in a hour this morning followed by KoP
Off to the cottage tomorrow for another battering...... planning a new parkrun on route at Osterley.....
Take care all
it happens, the downsides of doing an almost winter sport that wants to be a summer sport, also answers why I try to avoid it before March.
1st race - 1 DNF
2nd race - crap weather and report back Monday
Very sensible, OH!
Enjoy the ski-ing, Hazel! Make sure you stay in one piece!
Enjoy the match, RFJ. And of course the parkrun.
Hope the forecast for the race isn't as bad as predicted, Gobi. Go well!
Enjoy tonight's session, Wabo, and the company tomorrow.
What: just over 30 mins/5k
Why: wasn't needed at work for the whole day. Achilles/calf not too bad when running but I know that they are likely to stiffen up again. And I am pretty sure that they feel strained because I worked them hard on the single leg press machine last night, which is what I am supposed to do! All about getting the balance right with strengthening yet not doing too much that it hinders training. Today's run was fine but I don't really want things getting worse than that. Would have been a pleasant run but for the wind which nearly took me off my feet when I turned one corner.
Think I overdid it a bit yesterday. Spent most of the day resting on the couch where work allowed.
Ale be careful.
Gobi riding in this wind doesn't sound fun!
Oh how are you today?
Have a lovely day all
Well done all of you who are getting out. Weather not great here! Sadly I have not been out in my new kit. Having a delivery debacle. Hopefully it will arrive on Monday but DPD don't know where it is at the moment as it wasn't on the van it was supposed to be. Running jacket and new rucksack did appear today though! Hurrah!
LMH - re: Swim membership...no refund as it was entirely my fault I didn't realise I was entitled to free swimming through work. Ah well! No harm done!
OH - sounds alarming. Good to see you've been back out since though!
Going to read back properly now.
What: Nowt today
Why: easing back into it.
Last hard: Kicking the bottom of somebody's foot really hard in football yesterday.
Last rest: Today
Lyrics: Yep...even without the clue RFJ
Must be the season for job change. I go onto something new in 5 weeks.
