Friday 3rd April 2020 We've been broken down
Morning!
Lyrics: We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
Hope they are appropriate at this difficult time.
Glad the weather changed, OH! Thought of you on yesterday's run when the strong icy wind seemed to be blowing directly from the Orkneys!
What: whatever the legs decide plus stretches
Why: hopefully a little longer than yesterday when the legs weren't keen to play
And we are missing you LMH!

Hope LmH is OK, just pop in and say Hi please....
Hazel - re race fees, yes, I did caveat my thoughts with respect to those that are local "club" run.
Technically I'm still in the South Downs Relay (06/06), our marathon (21/06) & Mont Blanc (28/06), none of which have been cancelled. Yet.
For our club race we will make a call by the end of this month but were 99% sure we know what the outcome will be....
What - stretch the legs
Why - worked through yesterday so went out at half 4 over the fields and woods. Found it hard going, legs had no zip and struggled with enthusiasm. Managed to add a couple of extra loops in so called it a day at 11.5 miles.
Very quiet : 2 pairs of walkers, 2 guys on a bike, and one of our juniors doing 200s across the cricket pitch (tsk).
Last rest - today will be light and easy before that 17/02
last hard - yesterday although neither pace nor distance were spectacular
On the good news side, after 3 days of badgering and threatening my company have finally realised that we can work from home so, I should dodge London for the forseeable.
I have said I can go in if absolutely necessary (as we all have), but until then, I have a flight of stairs to the study as my commute!
Hazel: Hope you won't be furloughed (that's a new word I learned - never heard of it before). And with you on the video conferences. I have 3 or 4 every day so my top half looks smart but I wear leggings and thick socks under my desk
I have no problem losing my fees on small races - but the large ones where especially overseas visitors get ripped off a bit don't go down that well. Anyway, I've made my peace with the whole situation. Maybe I will give it another go next year or the year after. Health permitting.
Ale: were the lets keen?
I managed a shuffle to the shops and back yesterday plus a bit of s&c. Today is typical April weather. Cold, very windy and either rain or sleet. I hope it settles a bit in the afternoon as I'd like to shuffle some more or at least get a walk in.
Yesterday's lyrics were The loneliness of the long distance runner, Iron Maiden.
Why: because I can
Last hard: lack of certainty
Lyrics: no
Hope LMH is OK
Orkney "Creepie" - a traditional stool
missed a day yesterday, back slowly getting better and so now the pain is in my left glute and like sciatica...
wfh runs seem to get a bit boring though, have to go from the door which gets samey as I am not doing much distance
CHick hope you get some more in
Dustin join my world next week, it is a strange one lol
hazel enjoy the short mlr run
alehouse hope the legs manage
what: dropping a delivery off to a mate, veg and stuff so I will run from her door
why: oh driving and will leave me there
last hard: yesterday, only 1.6
last rest: still 31./12.16
I am going to attempt 5k for my club's virtual challenge - get he club to 250 5k virtual park runs (not the actual courses)
Hope fully it will give me a boost, a very dear friend is undergoing surgery as I type, bowel and ovaries being removed stage 4 cancer :-( Such a worry.
Keep strong everyone xx
What 6.2 miles
Why: Because
Last hard: the world we live in at the moment/lack of sleep due to the heat.
Lyrics: Yes
First day no numbness in leg so happy.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Furlough was originally an agricultural term meaning leaving land fallow (uncultivated) for a year to recover.
LMH where are you? x
Sorry forgot to post yesterday. Walk and runderwear challenge completed today and yesterday. Today is last day of mat leave, feeling a bit emotional about it.
Will post more tomorrow
