Morning.
Lyrics - He sits alone in a crowded station
Good that it's nothing serious RFJ.
What was going on with your hands emzap the eczema? Hope you're feeling better this morning.
It is dark and wet here at the moment. I'm hoping that the rain is going to go through and I can have a dry run - I'm not ready to return to winter kit yet. The forecast for the week is not looking good - it's August!
What: hopefully a MLR
Why: trying to bank miles
Last hard: not scratching
Last rest: 27/7
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Close, Hazel!
Lyrics: no
What: gentle 40 mins or so with M74
Why: only doing gentle at present
Hope to stay dry! Was woken several times by rain in the night; trust there is no more to come. Forecast is not good for the rest of the week: we had more than a month's rain last week and have been told to expect the same again.
Why: Monday and I need one, overdoing the pace on most runs with 50 miles done in 5 rather than 6 days has left me with tired legs.
Last hard: starting the thread quickly enough.. lol.
Last rest: today
Looks like i missed yesterday but ran 6 miles I will go back to read the news.
What: 8 miles
Why: Because I could
Last hard: How slow my legs were this morning!
Lyrics.No
Legs did not like 5 am running or the dark I had to use chest torch.They better get used to it;-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
morning all
Chick - sorry it didn't go to plan yesterday
OH - boo re the scammers, hopefully it doesnt leave you out of pocket
Ale - keep it easy, and hopefully you stay dry!
MIA all weekend - various things going on (life in the way again..)
Saturday was 6x400m hill reps (10k total) , Yesterday was 12 miles very easy trail plus gardening!
What - steady run if I can - moved offices over the weekend, literally next door, now overlooking the O2, so obviously nothing really works - been here since 6:30 so may leave early and run from home
Why - staying sane
last rest -20 days
last hard - Saturday's hills
Sunny here.
What: walking and paint buying
Why: decorator started today and baby brain here forgot to buy the ceiling paint...
Last hard: where to start! Now seem to have carpel tunnel in left hand so can't use it much at all! 6 weeks...just hoping the swelling isn't a sign of pre-eclampsia which I'm at high risk of (I hate genetics!)
Lyrics: nope to both!
Eczema is something I've had forever and is triggered by stress and allergies. Been clear of it for a few years but it's been rearing it's ugly head again, albeit not too badly yet.
Hope some sunshine gets to you up north. Would have loved to go to edgbaston today ale, but unfortunately work got in the way!
Emz: I'm praying for rain in Birmingham, but doesn't look likely! No doubt will be glued to the TV and radio!
What: 45 mins very gentle, most with M74
Why: he cut it a little short/I did extra. Humid, but less so as there is quite a pleasant breeze. Reasonably sunny!
For those who wanted a shoe code, it seems to have expired overnight! Will let you know when I get the next one!
Alehouse very gentle sounds good to me! Glad you enjoyed
Emzap, glad you are aware of pre eclampsia. Hope it is carpal tunnel, well I don't but you know what I mean. Poor you. I had eczema only ever when pregnant with my son, all over my tummy! He suffers really really bad with it and has since tiny. Same as you stress etc. take it easy today x
dustin early doors - I am sure you will get that run in at some point!
WP lot of miles nice and early!
Hazel enjoy the rest day
LMH hopefully you manage a dry MLR
What: just under 2 this morning
why: legs back etc killing from tons of gardening!!
Last hard: that was!!
last rest: 31/12/16
Cleo s one happy girl with her Trampoline which is at the back of my now very smart garden!! 8 years old today!!
How was Elvis, Wabo? And happy birthday, Cleo!
Blimey, we are one rather crooked bunch with our assorted back issues, RFJ, ale and now also LMH!
Hazel: I chatted to a couple of runners as we were panting up the first hill and asked them if they knew the course. They did and confirmed that this was just the beginning. So at least I knew quite early on that I could totally forget to hit anything resembling marathon pace today.
LMH: Is your back any better today? Next weekend's race has quite a bit more elevation gain than yesterday but I never intended to run it hard. I just fancied a long run in a different area. We're going mountain biking there too. Looking forward to it. I can do with less miles and more fun.
Ale: It's not my glutes - I do lots of weighted squats and resistance band exercises. I have these problems on and off since my back injury in 2013, usually brought on by long spells sitting on my behind either at work or in the car. Osteo does some weird and wonderful things which usually have immediate effect. So, fingers crossed.
Meanwhile I've used my entire repertoire of torture instruments, including foam roller and spiky ball on the area in a desperate bid to loosen things up. It seems to have worked a teensy bit as I was able to do 5k on the TM where my leg felt almost normal and the back no longer so jaded.
Happy Birthday, Cleo
Em: oh no! Wonder what brought that on if it's carpal tunnel. Hope it's not pre-eclampsia. It was definitely good strength training yesterday
Hope you can finally get some answers, RFJ.
Good excuse to bunk off early, Dustin.
What: see above
Why: damage Limitation
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: 15/7
Lyrics: no
Yesterday's were Frank Sinatra, Sand and Sea
Happy Birthday Cleo.
I definitely think you should have an early finish Dustin.
Glad you managed your run in the dry Alehouse - I got wet but was then blown dry again, breezy here today.
If only I'd known Hazel I would have loved to leave the thread start to you.
Sounds like a nice weekend you have planned chicksta. I'm glad to hear that your back feels a bit better, mine is definitely not as bad and neither is my latest bite.
I know you like the winter Poppy but it seems to be coming far too quickly for me without having had a summer first.
A very heavy legged and slow run for me but I can't expect anything else when I'm building the miles, hopefully the pace will come back at some point but I'm not expecting to see it for a while yet so I'll just have to keep sucking it up.
Chick: was simply wondering aloud about glute strength as physics seem to be blaming a lot of back issues on non-firing glutes.
Cricket not going well.
yeap a year is a long time with no answer but still have the issues, but slowly getting either used to it and coping or it is slowly getting better....
3.75m easyish tonight in the dry following 1st day back after leave...
hope all others with knock and crocks get sorted soon
Project 7-BOSS (7 Bags of Sugar Shifted) started today.... 1 bag a week for 7 weeks is the ambitious plan and trg hard with the aim of getting back under 20 mins for 5K.... not ambitious in the least :-) :-) :-)
Take care
Positive was we got a test run to the hospital (antenatal appointments aren't at the one where I will give birth).
And the cricket was a bit of a disaster!
