Morning.
Lyrics - Look deep into the April face
I hope that the company on the run was appreciated and cake consumed OH.
A brief respite then emzap - when is the work due to be completed?
I hope you managed to sleep better chicksta, still no issue with the heat here I'm afraid in fact it's a damp start this morning.
What: short and easy
Why: don't want to overdo it
Last hard: realising I might have over estimated my abilities yesterday
Last rest: 14/6
Yesterday's lyrics - I Like It - Dixie Chicks.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
Damp here for a change although supposed to improve later. Think I will be delaying my run.
LMH: not surprised you struggled a little yesterday! Enormous amount of walking last week on top of the marathon! You are quite right in saying you don't want to overdo it!
What: unsure. Hoping to include either some faster parts or hillier parts in my run but will depend how I feel when I get going.
Why: can't stop sneezing! Not sure if it is allergy related or a head cold. And don't want to overdo it either!
And happy unbirthday to Els, OH! Hope she had a good day!
I hope Wabo had a good run yesterday
Ale - cricket looked great, was tracking it on the BBC while pretending to work, and caught up with the highlights last night. Did you see the posts about Richard 12:51?? That was funny.
Lmh - Sensible. Looks it's catching!
What - Easy lunchtime bimble, Viccy Park I reckon. Coaching the village gang tonight.
Why -recovery
last rest - I'm calling it Monday
last hard - yesterday. What a difference 24 hours make. Tired, heavy legged and jaded on Monday, sprightlyish (as well as a man of 52 can be) last night. Pyramids on damp grass in muggy rain. 200,400,600,800,k,800,600,400,200 all with 200 recovery Not quite up where I want to be, but not a million miles off. Might even hit the track on Saturday!
Just read Richard 12:51, Dustin!
Race report from Elvis?
What 5.5miles
Why: Tying in the run with picking up banana's
Last hard Tiredness
Lyrics Nope
Wet here but we had a dry day yesterday which was novel.
Miles makes smiles.

we ell bless my soul whats a wrong with me!! Few secs quicker than Sat park run, 9.06 av pace, 3.2 miles in just under 29 mins. Felt really strong, perhaps to do with the crazy 1 mile dash to the start rucksack on back! I never know my way round that park from the station. I really enjoyed my run, I felt up for it. Just managed to beat a couple of clubmates who head off faster than me, think hair and tortoise!
chick nice run yesterday with lack of sleep! what is heat???
LMH enjoy y our short and easy
alehouse the pollen is meant to be high at the moment, hopefully just that, have a good run
dustin enjoy your run round my manor!! v park, did lots of marathon training round there back in the day!
Poppy picking up bananas??? shopping I am guessing...
I had an awful night's sleep last night, just kept waking every hour or so!!
What: couple of miles later
why: too tired this morning
last hard: last night
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
Might it have been racing in the evening that disturbed your sleep Wabo? I'm glad you had a good one.
Nice recovery Dustin - which events are you thinking of?
Sorry you're still struggling Poppy.
Hazel, oh blimey glad you solved the car key problem!!
Hazel : Glad you solved your car key issues!
Miles makes smiles.

Well done Wabo! And more to come, I'm sure!
What: just over 40 minutes a little quicker than usual
Why: erred on the side of caution and will either do something faster tomorrow evening or not at all. Quite cool when I started; by the time I finished the sun was out and it was quite warm, largely because I was over-dressed. Very puddly and I ran part of a cross country course which was far wetter than the two races there over the winter! Sun has now disappeared, of course. Hope it is only temporary.
Good news about the keys, Hazel!
nice running alehouse
Didn't go to yoga last night as wasn't feeling well.
Bit better this morning so walked at lunchtime.
Wabo well done last night.
Hazel pain about the key, but at least you found it!
Lmh how are your legs today?
Plan was to set up a kitchen area in garden but there's flooding not far from here so that plan was scuppered a bit! Work should be finished 5th July so a while to go yet. Will be worth it in the end I hope...
Have a lovely evening
Glad you're feeling better emzap. Legs are fine thanks, fatigue was the issue.
Mostly dry here today Alehouse but it stayed grey and close. It's actually forecast to warm up a bit by the weekend - is it possible we're going to get some summer at last?
What - Pavement testing
Why - Mr Bump hasn't played for a while
Last hard - The pavement
Last rest - lying prone on my back on the pavement
4.25 blooded miles.... right knee and hand a bit of a mess but no major damage.....
Take care all
Oh dear, RFJ: hope you have survived!
Emz: when I had my kitchen re-built I was able to keep the sink and the hob going for most of the time. Slow cooker was better than the micro-wave! BBQ is of course another option...but not very often in this part of the world!
Great game between SA and NZ: wrong result though!
Even better, Wabo! What's next?
And the sun came out again at 8:30! Best part of the day!
