Morning.
Lyrics - I don't wanna get left behind
Breezy here again today and definitely not forecast to feel spring like. I was planning my last LSR but the forecast for tomorrow is more conducive so I think I'll leave it a day, if tomorrow isn't good I can just do another MLR. Taking MiL to see two more care homes this afternoon.
What: MLR or LSR
Why: 17 days to go
Last hard: knowing what to do for the best
Last rest: 27/1
Yesterday's lyrics - Hasta Manana - Abba.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Safe journey home Alehouse
Hope your visits go well LMH.
Empaz....hope your energy appears...have a restful day.

Wabo - I imagine it was a wild night last night, roll on leg 2.
What -easy lunchtime
Why - taper
last rest - Monday
last hard - staying motivated.
lyric - possibly
Heart not really in my own marathon this year. I'm more motivated by seeing those I coach hitting times so Sunday's run out will be purely that: a run out. I'll not be hanging about, but I'm certainly not going to beat myself up over the time if it's not what I'm hoping for. Also have MK in early May to look forward to (running with some of the sub4 wannabes).
LMH: I hope Visit to care homes goes well.
Em: Very exciting news you and OH must be over the moon to hear the heartbeat.
Ale: Safe trip home
Dustin: You sound a little down?I hope all goes well for your run in The land of Leek's and Dragon's:-)
What: 5 miles
Why: Hardly slept and all body wanted to do
Last hard: Sleeping
Lyrics: Yes
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Good luck with the care home visits LMH. Enjoy the cake if there is still some left. Salted caramel and peanut butter sounds interesting. Just browsed some recipes.
Good news on the heartbeat emzap.
Good travelling ale and hope you can get in a nice run once home.
Enjoy the cinema Daisy - what are you going to watch? I like the idea of getting yourself a treat for your breakfast post marathon.
Know the feeling regarding lack of breaks Dustin - same situation here and desperate for a decent holiday (maybe in May). I like your motivation as a coach. Maybe you will feel better for your own race once you get to the start line and not feeling too much pressure might even give you a good result.
Hope you can get in some good sleep soon WP.
LOL to the bring sally up challenge Wabo. Sorry to hear about the Gisele issues.
Hope the cold improves soon chicksta.
Did you go for a dip in the lake whilst you were in Zurich OH?
Regarding eating issues: less of a tum problem - I have a more less cast iron stomach - probably all those mud pies, raw potatoes, quarter ripe apples and carrots/radishes straight out of the garden as a kid (ok - did wipe those on the trousers before eating). It is more making the effort to eat and doing all that it involves sometimes especially if I'm stressed or tired. Vicious circle though as not eating properly just makes me more tired. I have a bad habit of doing things alongside of eating and just taking the edge of my appetite rather than eating a decent portion, leaving it too late and skipping meals sometimes because I want to go out to run and won't have enough time to digest - things like that.
What: 7 or so GA miles later
Why: need to take it fairly easy as have a long LT run tomorrow
Last rest: 6.4.
Lyrics: no but nice.
Daisy loving the wonky donkey! Enjoy the holidays and inlaws! Are you doing Brighton?
Hazel enjoy your 7, think my stomach is a bit cast iron too! But I am a person who gets hangry, oh doesnt get it!!!!
poppy have a good run, hope you are well on the mend
LMH I am looking forward to Brighton 10k, think I will try and do well (not pb, too long ago) just well. It is a nice feeling tbh
Emzap, heart beat wow how lovely!
Dustin what marathon are you doing? enjoy your easy today. Oh last night was amazing, but who knows what next week will bring...
emzap enjoy the easy run
LMH, good luck with the care homes
what: 4 miles later, 1 easy then 20 mins fartlek and 1 easy
why: I fancy it
last hard: last night
last r est: 31/12/16
Last nights 3 was progressive, really good run, first mile 1mm last mile 9mm, rushing to be ready for Spurs
Have a good day
Wabo with you on hangry!
Difficult Hazel - do you and OH not eat together? This is the recipe I found and I would recommend it but I think it would be better to double the buttercream and put some in the middle too: http://www.bakedtoimperfection.co.uk/2017/01/18/peanut-butter-salted-caramel-cake/
It sounds as though you're really enjoying your running at the moment Wabo.
Why do you think you're not particularly invested in the race Dustin? That is a long time without a holiday - we have just booked to go away the second week in June having not been since October and that's far too big a gap for me especially with all that's gone on.
That doesn't sound good emzap - I take it your iron, blood sugar etc have all been checked?
Soon Alehouse. Hope you have a safe journey home.
Tired here too Poppy - and not looking forward to this afternoon.
Sounds like good news, Emz!
What: short run d&d
Why: legs didn't want to play. Probably a combination of running on cobbles, sand and lots of sitting around whilst travelling today.
Nice result yesterday, Wabo: hoping for the same next week.
Why: back not so good again
Last rest: Sunday
Last hard: today (had thought about running up local hill but that was non starter)
Lyrics: no
No OW swimming in Switzerland HazelCH .
Weather was foul when we passed through Zürich (heavy sleet)
Back was limiting too.
Did swim in indoor pool with view of hills in Arosa.
Take care
I don't usually wear them tbh
