Morning.
Lyrics - One more day that I've survived
Another night alone
Song title (if not the lyrics) hopefully applicable to a few regular posters.
Glad you were able to run OH.
I think because it is no longer (usually) a large incision we don't realise quite what an assault on the body a surgery like that is chamolk. I hope you can relax and enjoy some down time. Hopefully you'll soon feel up to walks with the boys etc.
Nice midday miles Hazel.
Busy, busy, busy Dustin. You could try some of the anti-fog stuff that swimmers use on their goggles or failing that masks with a wire across the nose help. What are your initial impressions of the new Garmin? I can't remember which you went for?
It's a bit of a gloomy start to the day here but forecast to be dry. Doesn't feel as though it's summer :-(
What: easy miles
Why: health/habit/sanity
Last hard: adjusting
Last rest: 13/7
Yesterday's lyrics - Everyday Life - Coldplay.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics no but in intrigued so I may look them up
What a pain Dustin with the glasses and mask, maybe try what lmh said. Think I'll just continue with online.
Chamolk, sounds like you're doing the right thing
Lyla had a great day, she loved all her presents but particularly loved the pink watering can and immediately went to water my plants 🤣
What 7 miles this morning (4-5 with mate) so I'll do a couple before we meet
Why I want to
Last hard yesterday
Last rest 31/12/16
Have a good day all
Lyrics: no, but have me wondering as well!
What: a run of some description, plus stretches
Why: the plan is to run with M75 shortly. Will have to play it by ear, or rather hamstring and glutes
LMH: really not sure what to think about work in September. There will need to be a lot of "catch up" programmes needed for small groups, which will be safer. Haven't been offered anything yet and probably won't be until September so too early to make a decision anyway.
Grey and drizzly here which does not bode well for the cricket three or four miles away at Old Trafford: if it isn't raining it is likely to be bad light stopped play.
EDIT: rain has stopped play here in that M75 and I have delayed our run as it is pouring.
Ran just under 5km. Oh took Lucas for a walk and I ran backwards and forwards past them. It's Lucas' new favourite game (being chased) and he giggled every time he saw me coming!
Not very summer like here either ale, hoping the cricket goes ahead.
Sounds like Lyla had a lovely birthday wabo
Have a lovely day all, is it the weekend yet?
It's brightening up here Alehouse - hope you get the same.
Nice that you were able to do your run as part of some family time emzap.
Hazel - don't feel guilty, we all need a bit of time out now and again.
Mark and I walked about five miles this morning and I was surprised by how tired I felt. My right knee is a little tweaky though not enough to stop me running on it if I wanted to - I'm just not sure I do and it feels very strange to feel like that. I'm just TATT and it's getting very wearing. Hopefully the results of the investigations (whenever I get them) will identify something that can be addressed but it could all just be in my head of course (the tiredness that is - there was a clinical basis for the investigations).
Hazel: I thought about a turbo but my back hates the road bike and I think the recovery of my operated feet is enough to contend with no need to kill my back (again). Nice miles yesterday.
Resting is certainly a good thing after such an op, chamolk.
That sounds like a fun thing to do, em
Hope the rain subsides and you and M75 can run, ale.
More exercises here. I am reducing my walking though as I run around the office too much. I easily cover my 10000 steps and my foot feels a little tight if that's the right word. No real pain but not quite right either, even though I have a moving box under my desk to prop me feet up
Lyrics sound interesting but no.
Chamoik. ..good that you are recovering. ..make sure fully fit before going back to work though I now know it feels wierd having a holiday while signed off sick!
LMH lots of things could cause tiredness...hope not serious...meanwhile more rest days could be appropriate.
Making a rhubarb raspberry and orange cake with them dregs of our rhubarb before going for a walk. Last time I did it was v tasty.
Miss my yoga class on Fri nights was a great wind down after a busy day but a fan of yoga with adrienne too. And all their classes I was going to try when I retired.....will just have to wait.
Sadly not even time for lunch Hazel....shame
!
What: just under 40 minutes
Why: following M75. We found a dry window...which lasted less than 5 minutes. Soaked before one kilometre! Anyway we plodded on and the rain eased for the second half. To start with my quads seemed to be doing too much work and it wasn't until around half an hour that my glutes started to fire properly.
No play in the cricket, as yet, unsurprisingly.
Alehouse glad the glutes fired up.
Chick glad you're going easy
Lmh hope you do get some answers
Hazel enjoy the miles today
Emzap sounds great fun back and forth!
Mate blew me out but I'd already arrived at hers when I saw the message so I did 7 miles in the forest solo. Great run really enjoyed it.
Alehouse - have you tried doing some single leg bridges just before heading out for your run?
chicksta - have you had a bike fit on the road bike?
Well done on doing the miles regardless Wabo.
After a brief lay down I gave myself a talking to and headed out. First couple of miles were awful but my run gradually improved from there fortunately.
Afternoon,
Sorry been missing but yesterday was a rest day.
Dustin how was the 245 on it's maiden outing?
Wabo: Belated Birthday wishes for lyla and great miles you have picked up the pace:-)
How is Peter doing Els?
Hazel: Hungry head started early today hope you have had lunch:-)
What: 5 miles
Why: Just because
Last hard past 6-7 weeks with Achilles
Lyrics: Nope
Last rest 15/07
Achilles feels easier so winning the battle but not the war maybe a another few weeks.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
H still living in teenager timezone despite being 29..doesn't do mornings. I don't currently do late nights...ah well!
No jellyfish encountered today.
Making the best of being able to meet up with extended swim groups meantime (likely will need to self isolate before surgery)
Lyrics no
Chamolk - rest and recover, you'll soon be back in the game!
OH - sounds like a pleasant swim today!
LMH - well done for getting out, but hope you get some clarity and answers regarding the tiredness.
WP, LMH - went for the 245 and I have managed to work out how to start and stop the watch. There are probably hundreds of other bits and pieces for me to get to grips with like syncing to phone, uploading music and so on. Not that I run to music anyway. Trying to figure out HR recording next.
The vertical oscillation can wait
As for masks, we've ordered some with replaceable filters, I anticipate a few days into London town in the next few weeks for work.
What - 10k including 3 x 5 short hills on grass, 5x250m, 5x180m, 5x100m.
That's distance, not ascent!
Why - pretending to be an athlete
last rest - 20/06
last hard - that was
