Morning.
Lyrics - Here I am again in this mean old town
Glad you enjoyed it Poppy.
It brightened up here again in the afternoon Alehouse - and it's looking as though it's going to be another lovely day again today. If my leg was 100% I'd probably have headed out for another LSR or at least a MLR but I don't think that would be sensible today. A busy time at work is a good one to combine with a lighter week.
Is it another of your race series races at the weekend Hazel?
My calf is ok this morning but not as good as it was before yesterday's run and the knee and hamstring insertion are a little niggly too. I'm hoping it all eases when I walk Grace but I will be being sensible despite the beautiful weather and keep it short. May try to get to the gym this afternoon as it's my best chance until Saturday (would usually be working but this week is different as it's exam week for us too) but I'm not sure I can make myself spend the time inside and miss the good weather.
What: short and easy/maybe gym
Why: being sensible
Last hard: being sensible
Last rest: 4/5
Yesterday's lyrics - (I'm A) Road Runner - Fleetwood Mac.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: something later
Why: work first, sensible head, plus Achilles not happy, although I am not surprised after the weight put through it. Has to be done though.
WP- well raced yesterday
LmH - good to see you're being sensible!
What - easy lunchtime miles / QoP ironing me out later
Why - ticking over / there is a lot to iron out!
last rest - last Sunday
last hard - last Monday
lyric - think so
Yesterday was indeed a delightful one. Decided against an early run, and lounged around instead, then a few hours in the garden before a 2 mile walk to - and from - an old pub for lunch. So headed out for 10k in the fields last night just before sundown. Peaceful - and deserted!
I'm trying Dustin but it's such a lovely day out there I am very tempted to do one of my MLR routes thinking that it's so warm I can always stop and walk home if I need to though I've just had a look at P&D's six week between marathons schedule and they say 'no' - but of course I won't be doing the speed work they advocate. Another coffee and a bit of work and then I shall decide - or more likely set off and see how I feel.
sorry to hear about your niggles LMH, keep it easy, you will I am sure
alehouse sorry to hear about your achilles
dustin have a nice ironing!
what: short run this morning, bit more later
why: time
last hard: yesterday pushing my 30 mins
last rest: 31/12/16
Mum in hospital so my weekend was taken up mostly, didn't do the essex 10k. Think I only enter on the day in future :-(
Mum is on a stroke ward but we think the painful sciatica has caused her to not eat or drink and keep taking pain killers which left her so confused and muddled that the care lady who went in Friday morning called an ambulance straight away. Thank goodness for her as now mum is getting proper treatment. Results of MRI today, I really do not expect it to show a stroke. Just came off the phone to mum and she spoke perfectly ok for the first real time to me since Thursday.
I am emotionally drained, the running has kept me stable though!
Is this a target race Hazel?
Too nice to be sensible here - I just hope I don't get to regret this morning's run but if I do, well, I enjoyed it at the time!
Thanks for wishes over race;-)
What 6.11 miles
Why: Because I could and did
Last hard Calf and achilles soreness last night
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Chicksta that sounds an awkward place to run!
WP hope the soreness eases!
Sorry to hear about your mum, Wabo...but good news now! Your brother is right to be persistent!
Does sound awkward, running-wise, Chick!
What: 10k off road, although the off road was rather firm!
Why: was not needed at work quite as long as I thought, so decided to run 45 minutes. After a break I decided it was a nice day so rounded it up to 10. Achilles was fine and I am not worried by it; more annoying, particularly when I first walk the day after putting weight through it. The idea is to stretch the tendon so it runs more smoothly through the sheaf. I think. Will be doing more of the same later. Gardening first, and it needs a fair amount of attention. Did very little last year due to the back fracture so much is overgrown.
Sounds as though you need to give a little more thought to your holiday destinations chcksta
Hope your calf and achilles settle down Poppy.
Wonder how OH got on: first day of Cape Wrath and I believe it is a not-so-easy half marathon! And could well have been warm.
Sorry to hear about the Achilles issues again Ale, Take care.
Lyrics, oh yes, one of Fav bands.
new group at club tonight, a parkrun plus group aimed at taking people from parkrun to 10k, all went well and a good little session
Take care
