Morning
Sorry to hear that, LMH. Maybe age is finally catching up with us? I'm still deluded of course ... despite not running any PB since 2013 I'm kinda still hoping... if not for a PB then at least for a good performance but they've been non- existent since January
Lyrics: I doublecross you
And you get mysterious mail

Yesterday's lyrics - Change The Weather by Underworld.
I'm not ready to admit defeat yet chicksta:-) I PB'd at 51, there's hope for you!
Weather forecast is better again today and I have an unexpected morning off so I intend to take advantage and bimble some more miles legs willing. I plan to front load this week in an attempt to get the mileage back up but also be fresher for Ashby. May make the gym this afternoon rather than leave it until Friday (my next opportunity) depending on work).
What: I shall try for a MLR/maybe gym
Why: miles
Last hard: finding my form
Last rest: 27/1
Lyrics - no.
Lyrics: no
What: short run, long Pilates
Why: Tuesday
Hope the weather is better today. Yesterday it rained from ten in the morning until ten at night, and probably beyond looking at the puddles. Still raining now.
When you get to my age it is about posting some decent WAVA scores and being competitive within one's age group. Not doing very well on either as yet!
I'm 52 and think that PBs are possibly behind me, but then I look at times run by some club mates on Sunday (that I was beating 2-3 years ago) and think, well maybe. One did a 1:24.
I'm thinking of skipping marathons and instead focus on 10k-half Ms which require more speed / threshold sessions than pure mileage.
Like Ale though , I look at wava and age group position instead.
What - Club session, 1km reps
Why - Marathon Schedule
last rest - Friday
Last hard - Sunday
Yesterday was 5.5 easy recovery (it didnt feel easy even if I barely got under 9mm)
I did last year run my fastest 5km since 2014 last October and my Wava for 5km is actually higher than my all out PB!
What: bike work d&d run and legs PM
Why : back on it
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: 31st October
Lyrics: no
Belated congrats to emzap! Take care.
Belated happy birthday to Wabo.
Awful happenings in NZ.
Glad to hear the xray was ok Ale.
Great duathlon result Gobi.
Well done on turning out for your half to complete the series despite the conditions chicksta and that isn't a shabby result anyway.
Good HM result for Dustin too.
At just turned 45 I'm looking at achieving decent results within my age group but I haven't given up on the PBs yet (2 last year)
What: out with the group this evening (hopefully)
Why: Tuesday
Last hard: getting things back to normal at work
Last rest: Sunday
Lyrics: no
What: 9.21 miles
Why: Because I can no better reason
Last hard: Virus
Lyrics Nope
I was so pleased longest run post virus nearly in double digits and it felt easy:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
45 is the best age for PBs, Hazel. All of mine were run then. Of course there's always WAVA.
Poppy: brilliant run from you, well done.
What: a little shy of 13 miles
Why: no rain for once and just breezy instead of silly windy. Cold though!
Last hard: finding motivation
Last rest: 3/3
Building back up nicely Poppy.
Hope work isn't too stressful Hazel.
I'm hoping/planning to PB at 52 - could be deluding myself of course.
chicksta - to be honest I've sort of written Ashby off. Eyes on the main prize and all that I'm banging the miles in this week (though planning an easier end of the week) and am going to take whatever comes at Ashby, it's five weeks after that I'd like to have the run of my life so far
Slow this morning - which was expected - but there's nothing wrong with my endurance. Not sure my chances of motivating myself to the gym after work are high, if not I could make arrangements to go before physio tomorrow or there's Friday afternoon though I was a bit worried that would adversely affect Ashby.
thanks for birthday wishes, had a great one!
LMH, I would not ever be surprised if you pb! I know I wont now though
CHick nice miles!
Wp excellent running
hazel enjoy group
gobi, well done on the duathlon
alehouse enjoy your short and pilates
I am 61 now so Wava is all I look at!
What: 45 mins later with 8x3 mins threshold
why: schedule
last hard: last night
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good Tuesday all
What: a walk
Why: being good
Last hard: don't do hard!
Lyrics: nope
There should be a special pregnant wava! I'm at about 35% at the moment!
Wabo that's great you have the option
Hazel did you have a good weekend skiing?
Have a lovely evening
