Lyrics: I saw the sign on a pick-up truck
Still very windy today 
Hoping to get some more hills in

Yesterday's lyrics - Is Anybody Out There by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Hope the weather calms down and you can get back in the water OH.
How are you and Lucas emzap?
Enjoy the hills chicksta. Wind is forecast to pick up here too but hopefully shouldn't be too bad.
What: hoping the knee will allow some easy miles
Why: I'm still training for a marathon
Last hard: not being able to run as much as usual
Last rest: 6/3
Lyrics - familiar but can't name that tune.
Lyrics: familiar here, also
Hope you got the hills in, Chick!
And hope you get the easy miles in LMH!
Concentrate on the league, Wabo?
Lucas update please!
What: something at some stage
Why: what we do. Yesterday's run was a struggle: legs didn't want to work, not helped by a gale force wind. The stretch session wasn't the best either: back niggling again. The slightest bit of gardening, for example, seems to set it off, yet I probably need to do such normal activity to strengthen the muscles. Finding it a difficult balance. Onwards and upwards!
Ale - very frustrating but hope you get something done
LmH - you & me both re "training for a marathon"
What - hopefully a lunchtime run
Why - mileage
last rest - 17/10
last hard - yesterday, 5x600s at ~5k pace (2.23 avg), just over 9 miles in total
Covid update: our compnay is splitting some areas and using the disaster recoverey staff. Our buiding has now allocated a lift for each floor rather than a free for all and they have banned using the showers with immediate effect. If I do run at lunchtime, I'd not want to sit next to me this afternoon....
Surgery this morning, track this evening
Hope you get your run in, Dustin! And enjoy the track, OH!
alehouse concentrate on not going down to the bottom of the league I think!!
chick and OH thats odd you both got migraines same day as my dil!
hazel, enjoy the mlr, my who gives a carp come today so I will be ok for loo rolls!!
dustin, oh what a pain about the showers!! But you know we have a guy here who regularly runs in the morning, he doesn't shower... nobody goes near him!
alehouse I hope your something is better than yesterday then. My run last night was like running through treacle so I hope so too
lmh hope your knees are kind!!
chick enjoy the hills
what: tiny run this am, more this evening with my mate
why: double
last hard: last night really was
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
Dustin: nice pacy 600s. Why would they ban showers??? Surely that's counterproductive to hygiene? Having said that we no longer get fresh fruit delivered to our work pantries for fear it may carry germs. Just now when vitamins would come in handy. Oh well, have to bring my own fruit then.
Hazel: oh gawd, the dreaded 7 @ LT. Good luck with those ... Agree, it's quite strange that things are handled so differently from place to place. This is really something that should be decided in Berlin and then be binding for the whole country.
Sadly the best hill I have around here runs from east to west so no chance to escape the wind.
Em: I hope you're all on the mend now.
LMH: what did the knees say?
Ale: yeah, that wind is a real pest. Hopy your legs were better today.
What: 12 miles of hills
Why: hills are our friends
Last hard: struggling uphill into the wind
Last rest: Monday
As for lyrics: They may sound familiar because I've used them before
Sounds like a tough run, Chick! I listened to the wind, so...
What: 8.21k on a-g treadmill in just under 30 minutes. warm up then 3 x 4 mins with 2 mins recovery @90% bodyweight. Pace per mile: 5:00, 5:00, 4:57, and between 6 and 6:15 for the recoveries.
Why: I have a block of sessions paid for which I can use pretty well anytime; given the wind and the need for something harder I phoned up and a couple of hours later the session was over! It was a little embarrassing as it was in the physios gym at the hospital: me on my treadmill and about 20 physios having in-service training!
No government action at all here still Hazel so everything is going ahead unless the organisers take the hit.
My knees allowed a run but I had a shocker. I don't think I can blame the wind though it was stronger than forecast and building as I ran. I was slow to start with and it got worse. It took just about all my willpower to stick it out and get a LSR in. I felt I had to whilst the knees were playing. I'd run a whole 9 miles this week until today - my legs should have been fresh!
Hazel, I'm sorry but I heard Hamburg is off (message from a friend, not that I can see it on the website! Hope that information is wrong.) And Vienna, similarly.
These runs sometimes happen, LMH! All you can do is put it out of your mind and move on. I could barely run yesterday and kept stopping to stretch; today was a totally different story. A couple of easy runs before Ashby on Sunday? If it happens, that is.
Sorry to hear that my information may be correct, Hazel. And yes, they are miles paces. I don't seem to have a problem with the legs keeping up on the a-g. I think I probably set it on a light % bodyweight and run at sub 4 minute mile pace! Must try it when there isn't a crowd of physios watching out of the corner of their eyes!
Home yesterday evening. Had a good night's sleep but I am feeling really really tired and overwhelmed today. Tonsillitis that started before we went into hospital seems to be peaking again too. So all in all not feeling good (I find my tonsillitis often recurs if I'm run down). Lucas also refusing to take his meds so I have a battle with him 10x a day as that's how often I have to give them to him. We are not friends at the moment
Early night to try and sort me out.
I agree lmh government seems very relaxed...(though don't think panicking is a good idea but sensible response based on scientific advice - obviously as a healthcare scientist I think this is sensible
Dustin banning showers, how odd
Sorry to hear Hamburg is cancelled
Wabo wish we had grandparents like you! Ours are great but just not able to do childcare.
Have a lovely evening all
Glad you are home Emz! Naughty Lucas!
Shame his grandparents are so far away! You need a thread rota to look after him! And get yourself well!
