Morning.
Lyrics - Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
Good news emzap. You can take some of your maternity leave before you have the baby if you want to though - up to eleven weeks I think though most women don't.
Better than forecast here yesterday too Alehouse though this afternoon looks wet and the weekend positively grim.
I was supposed to be taking MiL to town this afternoon but Mark's car has developed another issue so we are down to one again. They are a pain when they go wrong. GFA entry opens today if anyone else is applying.
What: hopefully another MLR
Why: I'm aiming for a big week
Last hard: beating my legs into submission
Last rest: 27/7
Yesterday's lyrics - Lullaby - The Cure.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: of course
What: short and easy run
Why: being careful
Forecast particularly bad from Friday.
What: walk to pharmacy to see what kinesiology tape they have
Why: I had a bit to try last night and it has helped. Amazon delivery is 5 days though so seeing if pharmacy's is ok.
Last hard: being one handed!
Lyrics: of course!
How's the back chick?
Lmh didn't your car go wrong quite recently?
Have a lovely day all
lol lyrics oh yes!
emzap glad news is all good,
I think I just posted on yesterday....
morning all
emzap great news happy to hear. NOt about your wrists of course!
Alehouse enjoy that run
chick, hope you get some relief on your back
LMH and chick wait till you hit my age!!! Everytime I start running the aches etc make me think oo er should I really do this! Then they go away and I think yes of course....
My daughter is so over the moon with the trampoline as cleo is now sitting in the garden or bouncing or cartwheels all on the trampoline! She is naturally outdoorsy in character but has a real problem with insets and they don't see to go in the trampoline!!
blooming heck!!
Emzap hope you get the tape especially as it is helping
hazel my back would be the same with standing, it is aching now funny enough (sitting). Enjoy the intervals
alehouse enjoy the short and easy
LMH how annoying about cars!! Enjoy the MLR
what: 5 miles later 3 @mpk
why: schedule, oh will join for the last mile easy
last hard: last night 4 miles
last rest: 31/12/16
Have a good day all
Emz - good news!
Chick (et al.) we have a few bouncy balls to sit on here - not got a standing desk, but several in the office do have.
Re age and exercise - I've certainly noticed the past few years that the recovery from harder sessions last more than a day and niggles linger for longer...I don't think I could do serious multi marathons each year - I'm just too battered, not to mention exhausted, by 4 months of high mileage.
What - maybe easy lunchtime, maybe rest. Coaching tonight will be a few easy miles
Why - legs battered / schedule
Last Rest - 22 days
Last Hard - Saturday
lyric - hmmm...!
Short run completed between bursts of heavy rain (forecast said dry today).
2 x cakes baking for some date in December (one GF/dairy free) plus another for the shorter term. Two to be fed on the first of every month.
re aching etc from normal activities, rather than hard sessions/races which are slightly different, I have found an improvement over the last couple of years from investing more time in stretching, with 3 or 4 quite lengthy sessions a week.
I forgot to post yesterday but had a head cold and felt awful so slept lots and more sleep last night 11 hours!
Em: I hope you can get the Tape to help you most places seem to sell it.If you lived nearer I have a few rolls of the tape.Good news on baby and hospital visit's.
Ale: Oh so glad you have made your Christmas Cake yum especially as GF/DF just my sort of cake
What: 4 miles
Why: Because I could
Last Hard: Being ill yesterday
Lyrics: Nope
A good run as well but feeling a little tired from it.
I have to decide if I make a cake this year as just me that likes it and I am trying to lose weight:-(
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Glad everything is alright with the baby, em. Hope you managed to get hold of some tape.
Dustin: That's why I'm doing only one marathon per year now. I enjoyed the build up to a half marathon in April this year. Next year will be totally different with Two Oceans … At least no speedwork required for my first ultra, just hilly miles.
LMH: Oh no, more car hassle. Poor you
Poppy: envious of your 11 hours sleep but not of your head cold. Make a small cake just for yourself? A little indulgence at Christmas should be ok
Ale: You're very good with your stretching.
Hazel: Hope those intervals go well. I have a fancy ergonomic chair too and coupled with the wobbly cushion and regular walk breaks I should be OK. I hadn't used the cushion for a while as it's rubbery (just like a Swiss ball) and it makes my bum sweaty but needs must.
Wabo: what's mpk?
What: slow recovery miles
Why: maintenance
Last hard: I have severe DOMS from yesterday's core work
Last rest: 15/7
Lyrics: yes
It's too early for xmas cake baking Alehouse!
You most definitely should Poppy - it's not as though you have to eat it all in a couple of days and it's practically health food with all that fruit :-)
If you took my approach and didn't do the hard sessions you probably could Dustin.
emzap - yes apparently this issue was related to something the garage didn't do when resolving last week's - hopefully fixed now.
Just inconvenient at the moment thankfully chicksta. I was supposed to be taking MiL to town but that wasn't critical but her hospital appointment on Friday is. Put a towel on your plastic wobbly cushion?
Enjoy your run with company Wabo.
I nearly always make my cakes during the school summer holidays, LMH, and usually the first week of August.
And talking of school summer holidays, I wonder how Don's have been. Won't be long before a lot of schools in Scotland are back.
Weather here is foul: heavy rain apart from two half hour spells. Wanted to get in the garden.
Poppy hope you are over your cold
What - 5m inc exercises / circuits
Why - Calorie loss :-)
Last hard - Yesterdays tempo
Last Rest - Last Fri
yes take longer to recover, not done a double digit run in over a year now due to leg issues.... but coming back (I hope)
Take care
