Morning.
Lyrics - I see no right, I see no wrong
That does sound better RFJ. Are you enjoying it so far? Has your rearranged appointment come through yet?
What: short and easy/gym for a new programme
Why: legs are shot/nice PT offered to do one for me for free and this afternoon is when she's available
Last hard: staying positive
Last rest: 27/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Valentine's Day's lyrics were, "Zing! Went the strings of my heart", Judy Garland amongst others, Sinatra included.
Lyrics: no
What: short and easy
Why: legs are shot. Well I hope they are not, but niggles are being managed. Hope yours are fresher by Sunday, LMH.
Had to laugh Wabo - when you said the OH had scraped the car , I thought you meant he'd driven it into something !!
RFJ - echo that, we had about 15 last night, hill pyramids. I joined in. There was me planning 2 easy, ended up 6 with 20 minutes of hill climbs
What - easy lunchtime
Why - mini taper: 20 mile race on Sunday
last rest - 25 days
last hard - probably yesterday
That is a very mini taper Dustin but I'm guessing you aren't actually racing on Sunday?
Very cold here, also, LMH...but beautiful down by the river. Noisy, too: birds! Always think of Stickless on a day like this! Didn't see any kingfishers though!
With a decent warm up and down Sunday will still be long, LMH.
Enjoy your 20 Dustin!
Dustin I did typo yesterday and change from scrapped! He scraped it again today.... Run well Sunday
alehouse, ah stickless I miss stickless posts! Like you my legs are feeling a bit shot! Big weekend coming up I better be careful
LMH, enjoy the day, sorry your legs are feeling shot as well!
Pops happy anniversary for yesterday
I did 30 miles last week do my legs know it!!!
My OH turned up with dinner and chocs last night what a darling!!!
What: 45 mins later with a couple of 12 min efforts chucked in
why: schedule
last hard: yoga last night, ridiculous stiff old body!!!
last rest: 31/12/16
club race tomorrow afternoon, 2hr 15 min run sunday, will aim to get close to 13 miles, more like 12 though I reckon
have a great weekend all
LMH - The football is not too bad. It's all workmates, so isn't too competitive. Good bit of interval training and just doing something for an hour!
Ale - hope legs are OK!
Wabo - Good going and take it easy!
Dustin - enjoy the mini-taper!
What:Rest day for me today.
Why: Legs have a nice gentle ache to them where I can feel I've done something productive. Done something energetic for 5 days running so a good day to rest.
Last hard: mmmm
Last rest: Today!
Lyrics: Nope
P.S. Crunchie Friday (if we still do that!)
Hope your shot legs recover, ale and LMH.
I always think of stickless when I see kingfishers. Fond memories. Hope she's alright. And I miss sharkie.
Wabo: Fantastic build-up in mileage. Be careful though. Ramping up mileage AND intensity is brining you dangerously close to injury territory.
Dustin: Will you be racing or is it a test for MP? Friend of mine from our sub 3:30 WhatsApp Group is doing Bramley as well. She said she'd run the last 5 @ MP.
Today I had one of those runs that were pure joy. Spring has sprung and we had 12 degrees, brilliant sunshine and no wind. I knew it was going to be a quiet day so I slept in this morning (when it still was minus temps by the way) and took the opportunity to nip out for a lunchtime run. Loved it sooo much
Volunteering at parkrun tomorrow. May run before or just run the course on my own afterwards. Need to keep my legs fresh for Sunday. Weather forecast is perfect. Looks like I can risk to rock up in vest and shorts.
What: 7 miles with 6*12 sec uphill Sprints and 6*100m strides
Why: schedule and opportunity - there's a perfect little park near work with an 80m long ramp for uphill bits and a 100m track for the strides.
Last hard: Tourist dodging but even they couldn't dent my mood today
Last rest: 23/1
Lyrics: no
What: easy 4 miles d&d am - PM ? life is causing challenges
Why: see above
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: 31st October
Lyrics: No
Talking the weekend as I may or may not be around - few hours on the bike tomorrow assuming it is dry and then for the first time in 7 years I am doing 21 miles on Sunday with the 2nd 10 around 2.51 marathon pace. Pace making is fun but I normally refuse to go over 13 miles so this could be interesting.
Lovely to hear that you're having such a good day chicksta.
I doubt I'll get much in before or after Alehouse, the venue and company aren't conducive. It was beautifully still and bright when I went out for my run - but still cold. Legs had a bit more bounce in them which was nice (though still slower than I'd expect to be now).
He sounds like a keeper Wabo:-)
Alex - people always seem to get injured when playing football - hence my concern. I think we can always thank Crunchie it's Friday!
Sitting on a spiky ball sounds pretty painful Ale (peers around for soft cushion...). Kingfishers are lovely to see if you do - beautiful colours.
LMH: my planned half is about 1.5 hours by train from here which is just about okay.
Chicksta: the LT intervalls were just the thing after a morning of work stress. Rather those than V02 max! Good run this lunchtime for you.
Happy Anniversary for yesterday WP. Well done for being stubborn and not walking.
Alex + 1 to be careful with the football. Enjoy the rest of your day off of energetic stuff. What is a Crunchie Friday..?
Rest / recovery day today after 2 sessions in a row RFJ?
Dustin: good perspective on Wabo's OH scraping the car - didn't notice that one!
Good luck to all racers for the weekend.
What: recovery 4
Why: loosen up the legs after yesterday's LT efforts and it is so nice out.
Last hard: pace discipline yesterday - got it right for once though
Last rest: 8.2.
Lyrics: hmm vaguely familiar but no.
Off to the Griffin, OH!
Why: parkrun tomorrow then off for Kinloss-Lossie HM on Sunday
(quite tight for ferry back home after race)
Lyrics: no
Hopefully a gentle parkrun here after two easy days.
Morray Running club runs event these days and no direct lik with bases other than start and finish lines.
Alas none to be seen.
