Yesterday's lyrics - I'm Going Slightly Mad by Queen.
Gardening can be dangerous in my experience Hazel! I couldn't start a race at 2200hrs, I'd be falling asleep.
Thinking of you Daisy. Have a great day.
Hope you enjoy Newport Dustin.
Cold here this morning Poppy but the wind isn't due to pick up until later, as I need to keep the miles down I'm hoping to be back before it gets too bad.
What: MLR
Why: the dreaded taper
Last hard: not losing my patience with MiL
Last rest: 27/1
Lyrics - no.
Miles makes smiles.

Dustin enjoy Newport. Hope you have a good run and things come together for you.
What: a walk in the bluebell wood
Why: I ran there last year so took a while for me to find exactly where it is. Will drive there and explore.
Last hard: Powerwalking!
Lyrics: familiar but no
Have a lovely day all
Had my breakfast and coming too.....it's a chilly one here but the sun is set to come out and the wind has dropped. Definitely putting the suncream on!
Have a great day all ☺ x
Go well those pinning a number on!
What: easy run plus fitness suite
Why: yesterday was relatively hard plus need to keep stretching my Achilles in particular
Lyrics: no
Any luck with the buggy, Wabo? I am assuming there was no baby inside! Hope the New Lane was good!
I've been making some inroads again, just running slowly most of the time, no reps, no super-fast pace. Managed yo have a run every day this month so far, did the Alloa half marathon on 31st March in 1:40, testing the knee out. Turns out Pain is the same whether I do 1 mile, 4 miles, 13 miles or no miles. So after that, took the decision to trsin slowly every day. Been going well and will be over 50 miles this week. Parkrun yesterday in 20:46.
Will try a similar but slightly slower pace at the Round the Houses 10K in Grangemouth later today.
Looking forward to seeing some race reports later.
Lyrics, nope.
I'm usually in bed before 2130hrs Hzel - a total lightweight. Hope your run went well.
Nice to see you Donaldo. Hope you enjoy the 10k.
Wrap up warm emzap, it's cold out there.
There's always something to manage Alehouse, hope your achilles hasn't been more troublesome again of late?
What: 6k plus short fitness suite
Why: gentle run plus trying to be ahead of the game in terms of the Achilles. Touch wood it hasn't complained a great deal of late, LMH; on the other hand I haven't done a great deal of running of late and in particular nothing of a quicker nature.
Good to see you Don, and look forward to the race report!
It is official! I am a marathon runner! I did it in just over 5 hours. Had a very sticky bit around miles 21 to 23 when I thought I was going to vomit (too many jelly babies maybe) but the body held just walked it off and decided finishing better than pushing and bonking out. Shoreham Harbour is a God awful place!
I did enjoy the experience and met some nice folk on the way. I have a cracking blood blister on my left big toe. The tape slipped and rubbed happily away. Just calling it a running trophy.
Thanks for all the support and encouragement. Definitely my one and only. I want a medal for 10k next. That's my missing bling 😜
Any news on Dustin?
My 10K today was fine, 43:08, about what I expected. First mile and mile 6 were both 6:44 and I slowed a little in between but not too much. Wind was a factor. Well beaten by many people I normally beat but that is something I will have to get used to!!
