Morning.
Lyrics - You must remember this
Colder than yesterday and the wind is due to pick up again for the next couple of days. I'm running out of ideas for lyrics so please feel free to join in!
Wondering how Benjy, Alex, SC, Donaldo etc are doing - please check in guys if you're reading.
What: MLR
Why: aiming for a big mileage week
Last hard: focusing on the positives
Last rest: 27/1
Yesterday's lyrics - Oh What A Circus - David Essex.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: yes (and far too early for me to set them ahead of you on a non-work day, LMH!)
What: short run and long fitness suite
Why: balance
Bet that was a special night, Wabo! Will the atmosphere still be good?
Pretty chilly here too, I think there was a light flurry on yesterday's lunchtime run (too thick for rain, too thin for hail). Didn't we spring into spring last week? What happened.....??
Wabo - A good start in the new home. Just need some silverware for that trophy cabinet ;-)
What - U11 coaching, otherwise taking it easy
Why - R-10 days
Last rest - Today will be easy, before that 20 days ago
Last hard - Tuesday
Eldest graduation date through for the middle of July (where did those 3 years go?), so 4-5 days up in Yorkshire, might even sneak a day in at the cricket ;-) She lives in Headingley
Youngest now saying she wants to work for a year before going to Manchester, so looks like we'll have them both back next year after all!
What: a walk if it stops snowing/raining/sleeting
Why: it's a walk kinda day
Last hard: sitting on this new Swiss ball I got. It's not balance that's a problem but I can feel the difference from a chair after only 2 hours on it! Hoping it may help the hips
Lyrics: nope
Be careful hazel, no slipping please
Dustin full house next year then!
Stay warm (isn't it spring now?)
Have a lovely day!
Alehouse the atmosphere was amazing before the game and then again after our goal! We were a bit quiet until then I think everyone was nervous that CP would get the first goal in the stadium. It is amazing being back and travelling easy!! My seat view is really good. Enjoy your exercise!
LMH enjoy the MLR
Emzap I hope you can have a lovely walk
Dustin, we do need silverware but I very much doubt it will be this year!! Sure you will be happy to have them both home
Hazel take it easy do what you can
What: assembly league at Beckenham if the roads allow me to get there after work
why: its a new season
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
Aroser Weisshorn 2653m yesterday. Wonderfully engineered Winterweg but crampons and poles could have been handy.
(Must have triggered some endorphins!)
Last hard: yesterday but fun.
Today will be a restful day. Weather not so good at lower altitudes.
Lyrics as usual 🙄
Wabo: The trick is to go into the stadium very late, preferably when the match has already started. The marshals then just wave you through. Not that I ever set off flares or other forms of pyro
Can't believe you have snow, Hazel
I think you need to train Swiss ball sitting just like any other sport, Em. Whilst a normal office chair doesn't really challenge any muscle groups the ball does so that fatigue will set in after a while. I worked in an office before where we were short of chairs (seriously) - it was a start-up and one of us had to sit on the ball. We took turns as nobody could survive a full day on it
Enjoy that family time with your eldest, Dustin.
Have we really cheesed off Gobi for good? Would be a shame.
And yes, Benjy, Ollie, Don, Alex, SC and others - let us know how you are.
LMH: I am struggling with the time difference at the moment and can't seem to drag myself out of bed early enough to post lyrics. Trying to catch as many zzzz as possible before setting off for my run and then work. Give me another two weeks and I shall become better, promise
On an early flight to Vienna tomorrow to make the most of our time there. Guess there will be no running tomorrow but I'm hoping for 3ish on Saturday. I wish I could feel excited or confident but my training paces tell a story and that story is not positive. I was running quite well in December/January but things have deteriorated since then. It may well be age and hormones (or lack thereof) finally catching up with me.
Still going to give it my best shot on the day and whatever will be will be.
What: 5 mile recovery run
Why: 3 more days
Last hard: not feeling strong or confident
Last rest: Tuesday
Lyrics: no
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Get well soon Poppy.
Will eldest definitely be moving home and youngest staying do you think Dustin? A lot of the final year students I work with are planning on staying put rather than going home.
Is your back any better OH?
That does sound scary Wabo. Hope you can make the Assembly League.
I think chicksta is right emzap, you need to get used to it.
How's your chest now Alehouse?
Hope snow doesn't stop play Hazel.
What: 15 mins run/long fitness suite/15 mins run
Why: good question as the running parts were rather wet including horizontal sleet at times on both runs; worked hard in the fitness suite, largely repeating Tuesday's Pilates work but adding leg presses etc for the Achilles.
Peak flow tells me chest is fine, LMH; still lots of catarrh tells me that all is not quite right. Away from Sunday in Portugal so hopefully a little sunshine will help: if not it is back to the GP as it will be close to 8 weeks. Pharmacist said I was doing and taking all the right things and if things were not getting better to go back to the surgery.
Hope your weather is rather better tomorrow, Hazel!
Sorry to hear of Fulham's plight, RFJ!
Enjoy Vienna, Chick! On my list...and I don't mean running-wise!
Sorry not many checks lately
club run tonight, if you can say club, all 2 of us..... hill work, so knackered now
Take care
