Morning.
Lyrics - You've been on my mind
Race well Hazel.
Hope you all enjoy the family marathon Wabo.
Anyone else racing this weekend?
A nice enough morning but nothing spectacular so far, it is due to get hot about midday and be a nice afternoon/evening and unpleasant night before cooling down again tomorrow morning. I'd like to make the most of the one day of summer but by the time I've done the shopping and walked Grace there won't be a lot of spare time for running before visiting MiL (it's her birthday today) and baking Mark's birthday cake (his birthday tomorrow). Ah well.
What: easy miles
Why: don't have the time or legs for much more
Last hard: waiting for the summer
Last rest: 14/6
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Warm here already! Forecast to be over 30 this pm. No doubt that will be followed by thunderstorms. Hope it is not too hot for your "marathon", Wabo! Not a day for baking, LMH! Think Hazel's race is tomorrow.
What: gentle parkrun plus a few ks
Why: being kind to legs
What: 1k warm up, 5k progressive parkrun, 1k warm down. pr was around 24:30.
Why: Saturday routine. Warm!
20 degrees at 4.40 am air quality awful!
What 6 miles
Why: because I could
Last hard: Heat and humidity!!
Lyrics nope
But after all that a good time for course even though it felt slow!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
very warm here, hard parkrun... just 25 to go now for the big blue t-shirt... 21:52 / 475, in 41st.... but really died in the last mile.... Retired another pair of trainers as they have passed the 500m mark....
race well those that have events this weekend, my next race is not till Sunday 21st, back at where I did basic training in 1984.......
Take care
What: volunteering at parkrun then walked to a 1st birthday party and back after pottering a bit in the garden
Why: it's a way to get in some exercise
Last hard: this heat! 32°C and 29 weeks pregnant is not a good combination!
Lyrics: nope
Lmh hope the baking goes ok. Bit warm for it!
Well done on the parkruns ale and rfj
Chick have you found your favourite volunteer spot yet?
Ale, luckily beer isn't really my thing so the beer festival wasn't hard. If it were wine or gin it'd be a different story!
Have a lovely evening everyone and enjoy the sun while it lasts.
Unfortunately I don't think you're going to have to put up with it for long emzap - we are forecast a hot night but it's going to be cool and breezy by tomorrow morning:-(
Hope conditions are good for your race tomorrow Hazel.
Well done for getting a tough run done chicksta.
Glad those who partook enjoyed the parkruns.
parkrun (27m06) followed by helped friend move in ("man-with-a-van") followed by sea swim
Lyrics: no
Barbeque weather here: i.e. it is pouring one minute and hot the next! 29 degrees at present...but no electric storm!
Good long runs those involved! Bit hot for that! Was 24 at the end of parkrun but that was also pretty well the end of the sunshine: largely overcast and very humid.
Well done at parkrun Emz, OH, RFJ! Do you have plan for when, and where, number 500 will be, RFJ?
Wonder how Wabo got on at her family marathon?
well done park runners!
absolutely baking here all day!
track session first thing (2x800,4x400,6x200)
then timekeeping at junior event- it’s the annual match against our “twin town” (from Germany)
finished around 2pm, car said it was 35 (probably wasn’t) but it was stifling. Tried to do a bit of gardening but wilted.
Still muggy at 10:15pm - doors and windows all open....
long run early doors to tomorrow
