Morning all
Today's lyric: Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
OH - good work with the gardening, I'm running out of places to stack the cuttings & clippings (green waste collection stopped a month ago)
Ale et al. - Watched the replay of the first London marathon yesterday, surprised by the sheer number of headbands and lack of women.
Oh and David Coleman's "and the back of the fields where those running 3 1/2 or 4 hours start"....
What - easy run
Why - getting back
last rest - Saturday
last hard - yesterday
Should have been running London but instead headed out for 6.2 - first run back for 11 days.
Ribs, chest felt ok, slight discomfort when I started but soon eased. Legs meanwhile had got used to not running I think!

Lyrics: no
Yesterday's were "Green, green grass of home," Tom Jones. And yes, my new grass seems to be getting slightly greener, And I have about half a dozen bags of garden debris and nowhere to put it, also, Dustin.
Good to see you posting a run, Dustin! Enjoyed the 1981 London programme. Seems a long time ago on one hand; on the other it seems like yesterday! Noticed quite a few people I knew. Was it me or were runners generally smaller and certainly lighter? And, Chick, the shorts were certainly shorter, and as Dustin observed, hardly any females. We must remember that until 1980 women were only allowed to race up to 3000 metres!
And good to see you pop in, Chamolk! As a layman I'd be worried by the ultra-high bpm and would be monitoring that very carefully.
What: 6k or so? Plus stretches.
Why: Monday is generally longer.
No rain here as yet, and probably none until tomorrow. Very grey though.
Hazel: 1981 was on BBC1 so probably easy to catch it up somehow! And 16 hilly sounds good if the legs don't feel too battered! And yes, double yolks are fun; at one time you often saw double yolk eggs for sale and I always wondered how they could possibly know that you would get what was promised!
Sorry keep meaning to post then life gets in the way.
Sat 8.5km up a lot of hills.
Sun a 13 km scavenger hunt walk
Today not sure yet
Lucas can now crawl backwards. Life as we knew it is over!
Good to see you chamolk
Glad knee survived 3 days in a row lmh
After a week of sun looks like colder, wetter weather this week.
Have a lovely day
Good to see you Emz...and you will soon need to tie your boy down! And that sounds a tough run on Saturday! Be careful!
What: 9.1k, largely flat, off-road or car less tarmac.
Why: decided to extend my 8k course. Saw one car except when I cross two major roads (one footbridge, one pelican crossing). Considerably more cars today on those roads, unless it is my imagination or the time I ran. Saw 6 runners in the first 2.5k, 3 of each gender, and including my M75 friend (stopped for a brief chat); 3 off road cyclists (male, two were pleasant, one wanted the whole path); 4 walkers (3 female) and 3 dog walkers (all female). Keeping count helps the time go! Generally pleased with today's run, although top of one hamstring is suggesting I should be sitting on a spiky ball. The slightest gradient still finds me struggling a little.
Sufficiently cool for a lightweight jacket and gloves. But no sign of rain.
Take it easy until you're better chamolk.
Great that you were able to run Dustin.
I guess it won't be long until he's walking emzap!
Mild here Alehouse though grey.
Good that your hard work is paying off Hazel.
My legs feel surprisingly good today but I am very tired. I wasn't planing to try running four days in a row anyway but it's nice to know it may have been a possibility. Just a walk for me.

I have 30 - 40 bags if garden refuse + 2 piles of bush trimmings waiting for recycling to reopen. Fortunately have masonry base of dismantled large greenhouse to store it in meantime.
Today has been cooler.
