Morning.
Lyrics - Please take me away
Far from this place
Good to hear that you're still running RFJ. I hope you have a positive meeting with Occ Health - who knows what new and interesting direction a redeployment could take you.
I keep fancying cinnamon rolls emzap and I've found a gf recipe but it's quite faffy and I'm worried about wasting ingredients I can't get at the minute. How I long for a return to being able to go to the shops when I want and get what I want/need :-(
Hope Els and OH are continuing to recover.
It's a grey and damp start to the day here. We had some thunderstorms and some very heavy rain go through yesterday afternoon/evening and more forecast today and tomorrow though this morning should just be grey if the Met Office are correct and not bad for running.
What: easy miles
Why: trying to hold on to some semblance of sanity
Last hard: sleeping - wide awake at 0400hrs yesterday and today
Last rest: 6/6
Yesterday's lyrics - Sunshine After The Rain by Elkie Brooks.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lmh yesterday's song was my go to album when I was trying to settle Jodie as a baby. Poor kid I used to sing all those songs 🤣🤣
Hope we do indeed hold on to our sanity.
Have a nice run lmh
What something but not sure
Why no direction today
Last hard yesterday
Last rest 31/12/16
Have a good day all
Wabo - I think a nice three miles easy after your couple of harder days would be a good idea.
Lyrics: no
What: legs will decide!
Why: running to feel
LMH: not had any rain here for days, although some was forecast. May be some this pm.
Alehouse, hope you feel good to run!
LMH: sorry to hear about Sammy injury to knee:-(
Wabo: 3 miles sounds perfect to me;-)
What: a few miles
Why: WHW
Last hard: Achilles
Last rest 1/6
Lyrics: Yes
Achilles is very grumpy and after half a mile knew I had to stop so came home and went walking for 7.5 miles to make 8 miles for day and reach check point 1.Rowardennan to Inversnaid.I am hoping it will welcome the rest from running today and want to run tomorrow.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
WP - sorry to hear about the grumbly achilles but good luck with the WHW, you too Don, and thaks for popping in. Sluggish times too, what have you been eating ;-)
Only kidding, I'd love those times at the moment...
LMH - hope the Sammy incident doesn't curtail running too much
OH/Els - recovery going well I trust?
RFJ - good to see you , hope the appointment goes well
Wabo - take it easy today!
What - easy short run & S&C
Why - tired & achey
last rest - 05/06
last hard - yesterday - did around 8 miles but was just so muggy that I aborted a planned 2hrs
Hearing the good advice I will take it easy today
poppy, hope that achilles behaves!
Dustin, you take care
Hope you were able to run, LMH!
Yes, sounds like an easy day would be good, Wabo! You too, Dustin!
Stretch that Achilles, WP!
Hope all goes well today, RFJ! Are you doing lots of balance/yoga/Pilates work?
Wonder how far you get today, Don!
Can't remember what happens next foot-wise, Chick!
Trust all is well, Hazel. Meant to say that I have met a few on here: Donaldo, LMH, OH/Els and sometimes meet up with some on StevieG's thread when I go to Hyde Park for the last Friday of the Month 5k. Don't know when the next one will be of course. Have been at the same National Cross Country as Dustin...but we missed one another! Also sometimes see a few who used to post on here: Chick, BR, Hilly.
What: 15k, largely off road
Why: long run...and again the longest for years. The last 5 weeks have gone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Progressive consistent consistency? Not sure if today wasn't a bit further: Garmin kept losing signal through various woods. Usually it seems to get back on track but not sure that it did today.
Easy day tomorrow.
Els - you don't need to be running in to join in with us. Good to hear that progress continues but sorry that Peter needs to go for another lithotripsy. I hope it solves the problem for good this time. Sounds as though you're keeping fitness up with your walking and spirits up with the baking! Is it H you have at home?
Sorry to hear your achilles is grumpy Poppy. Nice walking though.
Wabo - hope the easy three works for you.
Hope conditions are better for you today Dustin.
My knee wasn't great walking but after some magic cream it was happy to run fortunately.
Cross-post with Els. Sorry to hear that OH is having to visit Aberdeen again. Hope it gets sorted this time!
Meant to say, lots of evidence of "gatherings" on my run: lot of litter, mainly cans and bottles. And that's without going anywhere near the two big "raves": they reckon 4000 at one and 2000 at another not too far from here. I simply can't believe it/when will they ever learn etc etc.
Back for a walk then lunch in garden.
Lyrics no
And thanks for the foot schedule!
I bet the 10th July feels like a long way away at the minute chicksta but we'll soon be there.
got to go back to Doc tomorrow and get signed off work for a time, not going down redeploymemt route yet....
3.84m done....
Just stretches at present Ale...
Take care all
I hoped for 14 today but was rescued by my wife at 9.5 miles, no problem other than just running out of gas. That's still 58.5 in 4 days, more than ever ever ever! I never tried anything like this when ultra training so I am now thinking again about doing another one at some point, with more realistic expectations.
Lyrics are ringing a gentle bell but I can't get it.
