We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
Yesterday's were Rotterdam Beautiful South
What: walk to dentist then walk to train
Why: check up and hopefully book club depending how I'm feeling and whether Lucas can be left with my oh
Last hard: had a bit of a wobbly turn yesterday. Dizziness left me for bound for a few hours
Chamolk that's a lot of halves in a year! I think that's what I'm going to work up to four next spring depending when I can run again
Have a lovely day all

Lyrics: no, but should have got yesterday's
What: fitness suite/short run
Why: Thursday
Breakfast then heading to the airport.
I hope you're not coming down with something emzap. I'm sure your OH will manage Lucas so you can have some time off.
Do you have access to a fitness suite out there Alehouse or will that be when you get home?
That is a lot of HMs chamolk. Sounds as though your OH is very supportive, does she run?
What: short and easy
Why: recovery/down time
Last hard: not running for a whole week - didn't happen:-)
Last rest: 22/10
Lyrics - yes.
Chamolk I was thinking you are lucky to have 10 near to you or did you travel/
Chick: The sad thing was I could not get ear plugs so on shopping list! I love the look of that hill
What: 6 miles easy well it was 6am and pitch black
Why: Because I can
Last hard: GSR
Lyrics: yes
Torrential rain the whole way and no jacket so i got wet and cold I had planned 7 miles but opted for 6 instead
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Chamolk - I agree with what's been said - 10 halfs this year sounds like a lot (to me) - I can only think of 2 I've done, but then I tend to race more in winter (cross country). I think it goes in stages though: when I started I did 10ks and halfs (plus the odd marathon) but that was more for the run rather than "racing".
WP - yeah I hear that: dark when I leave home, dark still when I got to work (7:15). No light now 'til Easter...
Ale - safe trip back
Emz - hope you're feeling less woozzy today
What - easy run & coaching U11s
Why - Thursday routine
Last rest - Saturday
Last hard - Tuesday
Lyrics - yes
It was a half marathon series, so they happened around Northern Ireland, had to travel up to an hour at most (one was in the south, in monaghan, and one went across the border from North to South). Started in March, last one was the start of this month. I did some as training runs, rather than racing them all, and few just to enjoy them (the most scenic ones were the hilliest). The last few did get in the way of the long runs I'd have liked to have done though, but I get a commemorative jacket if I ran all ten 😊
LMH - my wife doesn't run at all, but she knows I enjoy it, and I don't have too many other vices these days, so she's.... accepting of it.
Hazel - Dublin marathon, this Sunday.
What - rest day. Maybe walk or some stretching. Or check out one of the yoga videos
lyrics yes and should have said yes to yesterday
chamolk, sounds amazing that series!! I am thinking of doing some halves next year (done tons over the years)
WP wow lots of dark, wet , miles! Well done
Dustin can it be Thursday and coaching again!!! Enjoy
Emzap easy does it, hope you feel better today
LMH enjoy your short and easy, glad you had such a nice run yesterday
Alehouse enjoy fitness and run, where you heading?
OH and family are getting in such a 2 and 8 about the funeral tomorrow, I wish I wasn't at work all day today
what: 2.25 d&d this am, something later with son
why: balancing life?
last hard: this am
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
How nice to have all of those HMs within an hour chamolk. You could have incorporated the non target ones into your long runs with a mile or two before and after - something to think about next year maybe. I wouldn't go trying yoga at this stage if you're not used to it - too close to race day to risk a random injury!
You are probably better off at work and out of the way Wabo, much as you'd like to be making it all ok for everyone else.
Just the six for me again this morning too Poppy. Was tempted to go further but reminded myself that I'm supposed to be recovering. Had it been as wet as it was for you I may well have decided that a rest day was prudent!
Any races planned Dustin?
Swim around the wreck (400m) so far. Intending a run shortly.
Day off today
Last hard Saturday.
Last rest Sunday
Lyrics not the faintest idea.
- and up the hill before lunch.
A slow and steady 4.37m at 10mm. its all I could muster...
Feeling tired
Take care
