Morning!
Lyrics: Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Up early, repeatedly woken by hard rain. Prospects for this evening's cricket are not good!
What: short and easy run, perhaps fitness suite
Why: I raced yesterday so being cautious. Legs are telling me that I didn't run hard enough. Think stomach and breathing were the limiting factors.
Did I say it is raining hard? Further flood warnings.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

A good result last night and over the series Alehouse - a shame there are no prizes.
Glad you're just busy OH, hope your chest is less painful soon. Enjoy the hike and Shetland.
Wet here too though we're forecast a dry spell after 0800hrs - hope they're right as I'd like to get some miles in before I'm stuck at hospital with MiL this afternoon - her instructions are 'arrive at 1400hrs and expect to be here for several hours' <<sigh>>
What: easy miles
Why: legs won't do anything else
Last hard: this afternoon will probably be a test of endurance
Last rest: 27/7
Lyrics - yes.
Ale - great result, I too am surprised there was no series prize!
OH - thanks for checking in, sounds like a good few days lined up
LmH - Let's hope that this afternoon doesn't turn into this evening....
Chick - re retirement. It depends if you ask me or Mrs D!! Technically I can take a pension from a previous employer's policy at 55 (Sep 2021), although the benefits are much greater if I hold it to 60.
Although I wouldn't stop working, I could probably work locally, 3 or 4 days a week. Work/ Life and all that.
What - easy lunchtime run
Why - Miles make Smiles
last rest - 24 days
last hard - Last weekend
lyric - not sure
What: something gentle
Why: woke up at 8:50! Feeling very out of it. Normally I'm up before 7 so don't know what's going on. Luckily decorator doesn't arrive until 9!
Last hard: getting going this nothing
Lyrics: of course (ale I can tell when you set them before I open the post!)
Oh glad you're ok, just busy
Lmh good luck this afternoon. I empathise with being stuck in the hospital for hours, it's horrible.
Ale well done last night. Hope you don't need to get a boat out!
Dustin, that's pretty soon.
Chick how's your back?
WP how's your cold?
Have a lovely weekend all
Great brains think alike, Emz! You obviously needed the sleep. I could do with some, also!
What: gentle and pleasant run, although there was a little paddling
Why: the rain had stopped, the sun was out, and so bright reflecting off the puddles that I wore shades, unusually.
Now the skies are darkening, and just been talking to a roofer friend who has packed up work for the day. He doesn't think there is much chance of cricket either. Mind you, it is the start of the Premier League today.
I have indeed packed a book Hazel along with water and snacks:-)
Glad you were up in time for the decorator emzap, difficult to get your day going if you're roused by a knock on the door and playing catch up. Rest up and make the most of not working at the moment.
Moving to something part time and local sounds good Dustin - you'd fit those 100 miles a week in then no bother!
My legs felt much better than I had any right to expect them too after yesterdays run and I managed a comfortable if not quick MLR, very happy with that.
Afternoon all
lyrics yes
LMH all seasons in one run! What prize?
Alehouse, I am pretty excited for the start of PL! Glad you had a pleasant run
have a nice rest day Hazel!
Emzap you must have needed that sleep!
Dustin enjoy the easy lunchtime run, aah retirement how I would like to at least cut down my days!!
LMH hope the afternoon isn't too long!
What: Only a mile
why: due to so much physical work up and down stairs and carrying archive boxes my legs are sore!!
last hard: that was
last rest: 31/12/16
Yoga was lovely last night but very hard at the same time! Again due to all that physical stuff. Was going to do my 10 miler tomorrow but probably will put off till Sunday and park run instead.
Have a great weekend all
Meant to be walking now but it's tipping it down!
It turned out quite nice here, and ended up doing some gardening in my daughter's garden; now tipping it down! Hopefully it will pass through by around 6 so cricket can go ahead at 7. Probably wishful thinking.
Yes, reasonably pleased with last night, all things considered, and at the start of the series would definitely have taken that.
It would be nice to be at the stage where it is ten miles...including a parkrun, Wabo! I might manage 10k including a slow pr tomorrow. Or not.
Thanks Wabo - it was only two and a half hours in the end. How long until your marathon?
We had some very heavy showers go through Alehouse - dry now though so hope you get your cricket.
MiL was given the all clear so one less thing to worry about fortunately. The NHS has been great, three weeks from identifying an issue to completing the tests and establishing that there's no serious cause.
Sent from old Trafford pavilion, gazing at torrential rain along with 20 thousand others. May get the boat home shortly. Or tram to the alehouse.
Ale, well done, as other said shame no prizes
Rest day here, parkrun 481 tomorrow (and footy at the cottage) then Burnham Beeches 10k on Sunday
A bit of a falling out with club committee last night over trg, which has seen my temporary resignation which I expect will be longer term (on my terms), the joys of club politics....
Take care all and have a great weekend
