Thursday 26 September - Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Morning
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Yesterday's were Diana Ross and I'm still waiting
May try and walk back from a baby group this morning. It's about a mile though, so will see how I'm feeling when it ends
Lmh hope are you doing today?
Ale and poppy how are the hammies?
How's the taper madness chick?
Have a lovely day
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Yesterday's were Diana Ross and I'm still waiting
May try and walk back from a baby group this morning. It's about a mile though, so will see how I'm feeling when it ends
Lmh hope are you doing today?
Ale and poppy how are the hammies?
How's the taper madness chick?
Have a lovely day

I hope that you enjoy the walk emzap but don't push it too much. How are you healing? Rain here first thing but due to dry up - I do hope so. Next few days are forecast war,. wet and breezy
What: easy miles
Why: can't seem to do anything else
Last hard: dragging myself out of bed
Last rest: 27/7
Lyrics - yes.
How are you feeling ? I hope you feel up to a little walk even if a mile is too far.
Hamstring is getting easier I tested it on the flat yesterday and by shortening stride and running very easy it was happy to run 4 miles.So waiting to get light to test it on my less hilly route.
Chick: i have written your number down to stalk you....sorry follow you on Sunday what time do you start?
What: Short run
Why: To test hamstring
Last hard: Hamstring
Lyrics Oh yes
Have a good day and stay dry if you can

Hazel - that's what I was thinking re LMH's jacket!
Hope those with hamstring woes are streeeeettttcccchhhiiinnnnnggg
Wabo - what's the process for Snowdonia numbers/transfers?
what - U11 coaching, light running
why - routine, legs tired
last rest - 06/09
last hard - Sunday
lyric - I think I should...
Lyrics: yes, several times over!
Don't rush things, Emz! Or WP!
What: fitness suite, perhaps a-g treadmill
Why: seems to be the only way forward!
Was saddened to hear of the death of one of my former training partners from when I first moved to the area, not that I was particularly close to him. And certainly not close to him when training! If Ricky Wilde were around these days he would be a superstar: in 1970 he won the world indoor 3000 in 7:46, a world record, and was 6th in the international cross country. A fell runner as well, and some of his records from the 1970s and 80s remain intact. All whilst holding down a full time job, which would be unheard of nowadays! Probably the most talented athlete I have come across in the flesh, and very modest indeed. He remained involved in the sport throughout his life, setting up courses for cross country and being on his club's committee. Shame that there aren't more like him.
We have to try to keep moving forward Alehouse.
I was soaked on my walk Hazel but it looks to be brightening up now - breezy though. The jacket is a lovely light windproof and the pockets on my trail shorts are great (I need them when I race as I carry my inhaler). Hope you get out for and enjoy your MLR.
Pleased to hear that your hamstring seems to be behaving Poppy.
lyrics indeed and I will ha ha
alehouse sorry hamstring still not up to it, sad about that guy
I am sick of driving up the motorway everyday in this awful rain
DUstin it has all changed actually I hope I have managed to do it now. Basically when I got this place transferred to me I should have received an email which would have let me set up an account with etch rock and the access my tickets (place) I never got that. So now I have and I've reallocated it to the person who wants it, she has done it before in 3.25!!!! Way more worthy than me!! I shouldn't say that I know but hey ho
LMH your kit sounds great I think I need some!!
Dustin enjoy the training
Hazel enjoy the MLR
Poppy no not your hamstring as well! Take care
Echo what LMH says Emzap, I remember staying in for almost two weeks after having my daughter lol, that's the way it was back in the day. Week in hospital and a week at home and my first walk left me aching in places you do not want to.... TMI
WHAT: I am very excited about today's run, both son and daughter running with me later
why: it kills two birds with one stone so to speak, 3 actually!
Last hard: yesterday only just over a mile, slight sore left achilles
last rest: 31/12/16
3 birds cos 1. my son missed last nights and desperately wants to run again, 2. I said I would see my daughter and had said shall we run, 3 is my streak lol!
This will be fun
The shorts with the very useful pockets are Asics Fuji Trail Shorts.
I managed my run in the dry but it's gone very grey again now. A much better run than I was expecting after yesterday's LSR and more good news - my car is ready!
Didn't walk back from bumps and babies. Sensible head took over!
Wabo good to kill 3 birds with one stone
Great news on both accounts, LMH.
there are some sports bras with an extra pocket for keys, gels, small change etc. Mine are from Under Armour and I love them.
I stuff my inhaler into my bra
I have shorts with pockets too so I can stash my phone and my gels somewhere on race day. The bra pocket is limited …
Glad you managed to transfer the Snowdonia place, wabo. Enjoy your family run.
Sounds like a super talented guy, ale. Sad to read he passed away.
Poppy: fingers crossed the hamstring niggle is short lived. Start time depends on the starting pen I'm in. Last year I started at 9:20 (we're an hour ahead).
Hope you have a good run, Hazel.
Taper madness is in full force, em. I'm doubting everything and I'm dreading Sunday a bit if I'm honest. I don't even think it's all in the head - my rubbish training runs tell a story. Going to make the most of the day by running in fancy dress and won't care whether I run 3:30, 3:45 or 4 hours. As long as I get my Two Oceans qualifier I'll be fine
What: short run in thick fog
Why: last run at home - travelling tomorrow
Last hard: trying to get excited about Sunday
Last rest: 17/9
Lyrics: yes
Miles makes smiles.

LMH great news about the car!
Chick: Are you in fancy dress? we usually got to Aberafan Sunday But Mr Poppy has told me Wales are playing Australia in Rugby world cup so we are staying home
Ale: He sounds an amazing runner and man sad loss.
5.25 miles for me took it easy and all okay stretching and foam rollering:-)

I've never done a marathon in fancy dress and always wanted to. Berlin is spectacular in terms of crowd support so if I make a complete and utter fool of myself what better place is there? The crowds go wild if you dress up. As I won't be running fast I may as well have fun
At least mine is a pretty simple outfit - just a hula skirt, flowers and big earrings - don't think I could be tempted to strap a fridge to my back or come as the Brandenburg Gate
Just walked 2 km. Was angry as waited in for 2 hours for the health visitor to find a note through the door saying she'd been and we weren't in... obviously she hasn't actually rung the doorbell. Now we have to wait in tomorrow as well. Had to walk to clear my head!
Chick I love it, good on ya!!
Those shorts are the best eh Poppy, couple of mine are knackered and one pair has been handed to my daughter . Actually Decathlon do good ones too with the inner leg a really nice length
Doesn't it chafe in your bra chicksta? Why are you worrying about your pace if you're running for fun in fancy dress with a sub five hour target? Relax and enjoy!
That is so frustrating emzap - I'd be sure to mention that you were in when you do get to see her.
Good to hear Poppy.
No chafing, LMH - the bra has an elastic mesh under the bust - basically a double layer so you stuff your bits in there - looks like this:
totall brilliant invention methinks.
I still worry about pace because I'm a tad disappointed that I trained for weeks on end without getting any results. Guess that's the menopause for you.
At least I have enough miles in my legs to seaminglessly segue into ultra training post Berlin.
Emzap: That's so rude! No wonder you were annoyed.
