Morning.
Lyrics - What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Hazel - I think the long term consequences of this are going to be very far reaching but not much point dwelling on them yet - we need to get there first. A friend of mine used to tell me not to yell until I was kicked, not easy to apply but a good one to try to remember in the current situation. I'm looking forward to the company and challenges of my new furry friend - who may well never have been in a house before. Wouldn't be the first time I've had one straight off the track though so I'm sure we'll cope. I've warned the neighbours who were lovely about the possible disruption and said they thought it would be very good for me to have another.
You're sounding quite down OH - doing ok?
What: hopefully short and easy
Why: sanity
Last hard: maintaining perspective
Last rest: 18/3
Yesterday's lyrics - Who Let The Dogs Out - Baha Men (prophetic eh?)
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: yes
Enjoy the new family member, LMH!
What: probably a short run plus stretches etc
Why: will go longer tomorrow/ in lieu of fitness suite
Happy mother's Day mummies
Lmh what doggie do you have?
Did a Virtual 5 mile handicap club race yesterday 2 metres apart from my club mate. We saw three others at different times.
These are such strange times. I'm seriously looking into hiring a treadmill. Living in London I'm aware that some people might get abusive if they see me out running. I've read about it already :-(
What maybe 3 miles
Why not decided yet
Last hard yesterday, 48.45 for 5
Last rest 31/12/16
Went hair dressers yesterday, my daughter has not forgiven me. I realise how it was silly but it's done
I should have gone grey too!
I should have gone grey too!
Oh hope you're ok
Hope you enjoyed your run Alehouse - it's a beautiful morning here.
Wabo that's not good. Hopefully you can do as LMH suggests and go out early or late?
What: 4.5 km running round streets to find street names to spell out Happy Mothers' Day. Did a bit of gardening too
Why: I needed a challenge and this seemed like a good one!
Last hard: I think we are all finding things hard at the moment.
Lyrics: yes I think we all need some of this at the moment
Had a chat with a neighbour today (we kept our distance, 3 m I'd guess) which was nice. I'm feeling a bit scared to go to the shops tbh, so we are trying to limit our visits to the very bare minimum. I just can't believe how many people are totally ignoring the advice to stay away from people. Did anyone see the photos of Snowdon?
Had another Lucas scare yesterday so he's back on antibiotics. Luckily all handled over the phone, just had to go to the pharmacy to collect them (that had barricades up so you could only walk in, but no further).
Hope this sunny weather continues, could help all our moods. LMH Sammy sounds lovely. Would you be willing to post a pic?
Have a lovely socially isolated afternoon/evening all.
I think we all know why
Lots of hards for all of us just now
Lyrics yes (I think this might have been a more appropriate title for a recent fantasy film about same group)
Exercise outdoors has already been banned in Spain and Italy. Beaches are closed in France.
In UK, hordes are flocking to remote area in campervans without regard for others.
Solo running outside cities is likely to be beneficial to physical and mental health, but even reading on runners forums there are mixed views on this.
Outdoor Swimming Society is now moderated posts only on FB group due to heated debates on similar.
Hope Lucas isn't too poorly, Emz! You sound quite upbeat despite everything!
Not only was I hearing about people flocking to Snowdonia and to remote places including the Western Isles, I was hearing about Brighton where the prom and beach were packed...and a number of alehouses were still open, as they are in parts of Scotland.
At the end of my road is the river bank: in 37 plus years of living here I have never seen so many people walk past, often in quite big groups of family and friends.
I also went to E.D. Tesco: 4 security guards on the door and only letting 5 people in at a time in what is quite a fair-sized store. Seemed way over the top. I went home.
Hope you had a good afternoon with Sam, LMH!
Reading up about the list of those who will be asked to stay at home for 12 weeks: looks like my asthma, probably coupled with my age and my annual flu jab, will seeing me hearing this bad news in the next few days. Will, of course, continue to run. Alone. Only saw a couple of people on my short run this morning; it was this afternoon when it got busy.
Nice 13, Hazel! For a moment I thought it was 13 out and 13 back!
emzap - will your neighbours not shop for you? We have set up a little network of people looking for things for other people when they are out and about. Hope Lucas isn't too bad.
OH - I really hope those idiots don't spoil it for the rest of us - my garden is definitely not big enough for laps, may need to drag the treadie outside and find an extension lead :-)
Hazel - there are lots of lovely and good people in the world unfortunately it's the opposite that usually get the headlines.
This is Sammy (Samah as was) https://www.tia-rescue.org/samah/
