Morning!
Lyrics: Take a look at my girlfriend,
She's the only one I got
Awake listening to cricket. Not good listening! England have just lost.
What: longer run with M74, as long as rain doesn't stop play.
Why: need long runs but forecast is heavy rain all day.
I note that one of the ex-uni girls, and a friend of my daughter, Jess Piasecki nee Coulson won the Florence marathon yesterday in the third quickest time by a GB female: 2:25 xx, with interesting splits of 74/71. Makes life difficult for the Olympic selectors with 2 at 2:25 and one at 2:26 recently.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

Well done the park runners on Saturday, decent time Ale, and good feet skills OH. Seems a tight turn for a 5k!
Ale - yeah I saw that time, couple of my rabble PBd yesterday at that one (3:53)
Did I see someone mention the C word? I know two people who already have trees up. They were promptly 'unfriended' - It's November ffs
What - easy monday miles
Why - tough weekend:
Saturday, 2mile track w/u, then 10 x 500 hill repeats, jog back recoveries, 2 mile c/d
Yesterday - 17.5 mile trail run, foggy, wet, boggy, stunning. Legs feeling it towards the end though...
last rest - 4 weeks?
last hard - the weekend
lyric - of course!
Hazel: 3 runners under 2:29 qualify for the Olympics. Doubt the selectors will pre-select three before the end of the qualification period which ends on 31/5/2020. They may leave it until after next year's London marathon; who knows?
Raining heavily here so waiting to hear what M74 has to say in the next 45 minutes! Must do some stretches in the meantime.
Miles makes smiles.

Dustin, I was commenting on that yesterday as we drove home from swimming, could see lots of trees up in people's front rooms.
Poppy glad you're recovered.
I think the bedtime routine was successful, we need to make it about an hour later we think as he didn't like it when he was left alone. We slept 9-3 and 3.30-7 so pretty good I think.
What: a walk runand a, I may try running the whole way tonight.
Why: walk to baby meet up this morning then this afternoon walk to station to drop Luke with daddy, then run the long route home.
Last hard: Saturday
Lyrics: yes!
Have a lovely day all
What: Just over an hour with M74. 9.67k. Harder work than last week but that's fine. Struggled on anything with even the slightest gradient.
Why: trying to do an hour once a week. Wasn't raining when we set off but poured within a couple of hundred metres; soon stopped though, fortunately.
great lyrics alehouse
emzap good luck with the run hope it goes well
Poppy hope you are ok
alehouse hope the rain eases and you get out
dustin I'm with you re the C word!! Enjoy your Monday miles
hazel enjoy your running rest day!
lmh enjoy the short miles
What: about 5 later
why: daughter issued a step challenge
last hard: 4.5 yesterday afternoon
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good MOnday all
No xc at the weekend Dustin? I'm with you on the Bah Humbug!
I like to stay comfortable doing the long runs between marathon campaigns otherwise I find them really daunting.
Not sure if my heart or HRM are playing up. Near the end of Saturday's run I had some spikes, yesterday was normal then today after about five miles I had some more and more prolonged rises in HR with a corresponding decrease in pace. Again believable readings but only previously seen in races, not when running my slowest mile of a slow run.
Lyrics - yes I believe so....
Sorry been AWOL again....
However was chuffed with my parkrun on Sat as knock 20 secs of two weeks ago and had a good consistent pace too. still trailing in the wake of Jnr who was off for his and his sisters birthdays this weekend.... Jnr not ran for 4-5 weeks and still manages a 20:51..... the joys of youth
PS if anyone want to come for my 500th parkrun, all being well it will be 21 Dec at Lydiard parkrun (Swindon).
getting used to running only 4 days a week now without feeling guilty...
Take care all
Sounds like progress, RFJ! Hope you are doing the exercises! Would love to come to Swindon for your 500th but have other commitments that day!
That sounds like a HRM blip, LMH! 17 yesterday was positive, I meant to say.
I ran 4.25 miles tonight
Oh and lost 2.2lbs this week 😊
