Morning
Lyrics: You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
What: 4km fartlek with 10 squats at every rubbish bin
Why: running club "russian roulette" challenge, pick a target you will encounter on your run and do 10 jumps every time you see one. I've chosen to do squats in instead
Last hard: I suspect this, though my sewing machine breaking on my last seam of the dungarees was tough as I still haven't worked out how to fix it!
Have a lovely day all

Lyrics: no. Was just going to start the lyrics when I noticed yours, Emz!
Enjoy today's challenge!
What: a run, to be decided by the legs
Why: running to feel
Elder son is 33 today. Where did those years ago? Will see him for the first time since mid March, at a distance of course, even though he lives locally. His wife is in the vulnerable group so they have basically hidden themselves away, as have many people. His first drive since March.
Sounds like an interesting challenge Emz, good luck
Ale - decent mileage (kilometerage?) week last week
Wabo - More good running from you!
LmH - How are the knees?
Awol much of the weekend. After falling over on Friday it was actually worse yesterday (pain wise) so went to A&E for an xray at the prompting of wife & kids. They couldn't see anything wrong but "have probably cracked a rib or two" (wouldn't that show on an x-ray?) but tbh they were more concerned about lung / liver damage - there was none that they could see.
They gave me some painkillers and breathing exercises. Guessing that's me out of running for at least a week or two but hoping to get some walking done although I didn't fancy it yesterday.
So I'll pop in every day whilst sitting here moping....
LMH: since my post 15 minutes ago I have had the Biobank email and have said that I will help, should they want me. Yesterday also had an email from my GP about another coronavirus trial which I have also said yes to.
Yesterday's lyrics - Don't Stop Moving by S Club 7.
Alehouse is correct Dustin, small fractures can take a while to show on an x-ray and there is nothing else they would do if you had visible fractures - just like last time, you seem to be making a habit of rib injuries! Hope you feel better soon. My knees feel ok to run again today thanks.
emzap - that sounds as though it could be a tough session.
I wonder if that means they are having difficulty recruiting Alehouse? I haven't heard anything further. Enjoy seeing your son.
It has brightened and warmed up beautifully whilst we were out with Sammy and I need to get myself changed and out for my run so that I can be back to start work. Our anniversary today but it's going the way of all other 'celebrations' so far this year. First world problems.
What: easy miles
Why: it's good for my head
Last hard: staying positive can be hard
Last rest: 23/5
Lyrics - no.
Love the challenge emzap. Are there so many normal bins around? I would have to do dog poo bin fartlek here. Commiserations regarding the sewing machine - scary things..
Will be lovely for you to see your son again Ale. Enjoy.
Oh not again Dustin. Hope you can get out for a walk at least soon.
Enjoy that run LMH.
What: group run this evening
Why: Tuesday
Last hard: reports of illegal football matches with 1000+ plus spectators and at the same time plans to open up stadiums for spectators soon. So reward them or what?
Last rest: 30.03. Streak is still alive, thx Ale
Lyrics: no
That's terrible about the football matches. What size groups are you allowed to run in now?
No squats here today! Top of my hamstring feels tender so will only do upper body work if I stretch later.
What: just over 12k d&d, largely off road
Why: keeping up with the Joneses Emzes.
Strange run really. Legs were not playing ball for the first 3k, considered cutting the long run short, and then I bumped into M75 coming the other way. We had a short chat and then I got going...and ran pretty well. Ran in shorts but still in long sleeved top and gloves. Dustin has made me even more aware of falling so need a bit of protection!
emzap what a good workout you will have today!
hazel I miss footy but no way would I want to go. enjoy the group run
dustin, oh dear poor you, that is so unfortunate! Rest up
LMH glad your knees said yes, enjoy!
Alehouse, you get runs like that sometimes eh. It is a funny old game this running
I met a mate at 7.30 to walk in a very pretty area - miss the crowds as it is early scenario (nope). But fun.
Then I went straight to my son as he wanted to do something so he chose walk, he isn't familiar with the whole social distancing as he has been in mostly. He soon got the idea after I told him off!!
What: 3 miles walk with mate, 3 with Sam. Run later now
why: I am a bit pooped
last hard: all of that
last rest: 31/12/16
Have a good day all, I am sensing a treadmill run I have had enough of outside now..
Wabo: That is a lot for you did you run with son? you sound tired.
Dustin: I hope you heal well I remember falling on soft ground my ribs were sore for about 3 weeks!
Hazel: Enjoy your group run later.But awful about the football!
LMH: Happy Anniversary how many years?Glad knee is behaving.
What 7.35 miles
Why: Because
Last hard: having a bug yesterday.
Last rest: 25/5
Lyrics: Nope
Nice run this morning less elevation normal is around 450-500 today under 300;-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
It's the time of year for anniversaries lmh, chick's, yours and ours within 10 days! Are you doing something to make the day a little different?
Just been for my walk, it's humid out there, not looking forward to run!
Thanks Poppy. Fifteen years today (we were late starters). Glad you enjoyed the run.
We are both working emzap.
Enjoy the run with company Hazel.
How can he have missed it Wabo? Where's he been for the last nine weeks or so?!? Sounds as though a lot of people had the same idea as you this morning, it's mostly dog walkers round here at that sort of time.
Lovely weather for a run again this morning and not too many people out.
Take care Chick! Hope everything goes to plan. Presumably a physio will be giving you lots of do's and don'ts! And keep posting!
Edit: cold here today. Thinking of putting the heating back on! Was sunny for my run but grey ever since.
Really Alehouse? Another lovely day here - I sat in the garden in my bikini top once I'd finished work!
Hope OH is recovering well.
And also wondering how Chamolk is doing.
4 km fartlek and 10 squats at every bin (there were 8 - good job I wasn't doing poo bins as well 😂). Then decided to match squats with lunges when I got home, just because (I'm mad?). So 4km fartlek, 80 squats and 80 lunges. Be surprised if I can walk tomorrow!
Glad you had a nice break chick.
Party of 30-40 teenagers on our estate on the way back from my run...
I ended up running 2 miles outdoors
Early night now
Happy anniversary lmh
Chick wow, speedy healing wishes for you
