Wednesday 22nd July 2020 Memories light the corners of my mind
Morning!
Lyrics: Memories light the corners of my mind,
Misty water-coloured memories
What: half an hour or so plus stretches
Why: easier day as a bit achy after gardening. Off to the tip shortly.
Has your youngest heard anything re uni, Dustin? What are your club doing re training sessions? I imagine it will be a long time, if ever, before be get back to the way we were pre virus.
Very grey here and will be lucky to escape some rain; tomorrow's forecast isn't good.

Yesterday's lyrics - Distance by Christina Perri.
I hope you had a better night emzap.
Annoying Hazel - I hope they quieten down soon. Legs aren't too bad this morning.
How did you find it at the gym chicksta?
I'm not surprised you ache after yesterday's exertions Alehouse. Gooseberry fan here too.
Hope the stone continues to allow you to swim and run as you please OH.
When I went to bed my left knee was quite achy, this morning it's the right. Hoping they will allow a short run though I'm expecting it to be slow.
What: short and easy
Why: all I feel up to
Last hard: knowing whether the knees will tolerate it
Last rest: 13/7
Lyrics - no.
LYRICS, OOPS shouty, yes indeed alehouse....
Dustin the cocktail party was mad and great!
lmh, hope knees allow the miles
hazel exactly how can the forest be boring!! But we do have a 5k on the rides and a forest five that we seem to keep doing so the mixing up makes itmore fun!! Enjoy your longer recovery
alehouse, enjoy the run and stretch
what: 3 mile walk with friend a.m. then talking of run clubs, I am off to my second claim for a forest run in a group of 6 later
why: they have just started this up, massively excited!
last hard: yesterday am
last rest: 31/12/16
my mate sacha is booked on to a different group later, both of us got on an 11-12 mm group, others were all full. But I think This will be ok to start with and if I manage really easy I will try to get on 10-11 mm for next week.
Well, I was talking to the window cleaner this morning and he said that it had not rained on just 3 of the last 35 days, and that he was doing a big day today as there was only 1% chance of rain. Well...
What: stopped the watch on 6.65k, but inevitably it ticked over to 666...
Why: went to the tip to get rid of a car load of greenery whilst it was still dry. Whilst it was there it started to drizzle. Thought little of it and ran nearby...and got soaked! Again! Got back and the window cleaner was sitting in his car: rain stopped play.
Wabo: enjoy the group run. A novelty! And the Leicester game was a strange one. Leicester had something like 24 shots yet never looked like scoring! Wasn't happy with the Gooners last night. Looks like they may have helped Watford go down...and with them will go my Premiership hospitality chances I suspect. Might get something like Watford v Wycombe instead!
Lucas happier today though refused to nap so hubby's done a lot of walking today
What: 5km
Why: easy run day
Last hard: meeting hubby on one of his walks to hand over a key and forgetting to take one for myself so being locked out for 25 min!
Lyrics: nope
Managed a better night as well. Got a run of 6 hours in. Better than the 2 hours I've been getting lately.
Run wasn't that easy but I've got a lot going on so being kind to myself
Hope knees are ok lmh
Be careful chick!
Ale, another soaking?!
Hazel hope you got some quiet time
Wabo enjoy your club run. Ours started up in June and it has been so nice
Dustin do you still have to go into the office or are you completely wfh at the moment?
Have a lovely evening all
Chick - impressive hours at the 'coalface'
Emz - glad you had a better night. Still wfh, not sure when we go back, might start with a rota (week in, 2 weeks wfh). Nothing definite yet.
Ale - Youngest going to Manchester and good timing too, today she got her (1st choice) halls confirmed and a moving in date! There is a zoom call about tutors/lectures/lesson structure in the next week or so.
And another timely question. The track and some junior groups started in up to 6 athletes about 3 weeks ago. We've had a couple of tentative sessions for seniors and this evening I and two other coaches did a recce of the country park for a few sessions.
We estimate we could get 20-30 doing hills at one end away from the main footpaths (3 coaches , 8-10 athletes)
Plan to do that next week. Main issue is parking & warm up/cool down. So we're suggesting the country park as there are 3 parking places at 3 different entrances or it's an easy mile from some of the town car parks.
The village club we're aiming for a double set on Monday , 10-15 at each (two coaches) with a 15 minute clear off / arrive in the middle. Will be shorter, 40 minutes, but again hoping people run there & back as warm up/cool down instead.
What - A few easy hills reps with some pals followed by an easy 5k around the park
Why - recce, recovery
last rest - 20/06
last hard - today wasn't a walk in the park (well some of it was!)
My first run NOT from my back door since the end of March
