Morning.
Lyrics - You can't write a novel from a briefcase
You can write a poem from a trench
Hope it helps emzap. Did you have an idea of what you'd like the money to be used for? You could always aim to raise enough for that and provide a specific piece of equipment or whatever whether medical or not. Keep us informed please?
Another nice running morning here <<sigh>> Hopefully a day closer to resuming but not today.
What: more walking and rehab exercises
Why: I'd like to be able to run again
Last hard: not being able to run when the weather has been good and motivation high
Last rest: 2/8
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Lyrics: no
What: whatever the legs decided; could be a gentle MLR/stretches
Why: running to feel/needs must
Bright sunshine through black clouds here. Forecast is to remain dry though.
LMH - re track races. Few and far between. Think I said my club are holding some 100s in a couple of weeks, hoping to stage more (and longer) races in September.
TBH I've written off "racing" until XC at the earliest and anything I do before then will be for fun/training.
What - early half hour already done
Why -recovery and fitting it in: giving blood this morning and have village group training this evening
last rest - 20/06
last hard - Saturday/Sunday
Crisp but bright and mild, just did an easy 5k over the fields. Great to see some deer and no people, just the chatter of the birds!
Got a supply of antibiotics so tooth has eased a tiny bit. I will ring dentist though.
Lmh hope it won't be too long till you resume. Weather looks good all week
Alehouse have a good run
Dustin nice one on early run and giving blood
What 2.65 walk with mates next up 6 mile off road with Sacha
Why arranged
Last hard yesterday
Last rest 31/12/16
Bit hungry now and have to meet friend Sacha a at 9.30, oops!
Was that for the streak or your head Hazel? Wait and see really, physio said I need to be able to walk pain free before I run and for the swelling to go down in the ankle and knee as they are unstable. Both of these are happening just not as quickly as I'd like of course.
A double and a blood donation Dustin? I think plenty of cake will be required.
Hope it stays dry for your run Alehouse.
Can't be too bad if you got out there yesterday, Hazel! I probably would have done the same!
Sorry that things are improving far too slowly, LMH!
Enjoy your outing in company, Wabo!
What: stretches and then just over an hour, mainly off road, so MLR d&d
Why: well the forecast said it would not precipitate for 60 minutes...and it didn't. About 63 in fact and the heavens opened, by which time I had just walked through the door. Does put rather a dampener on some gardening that I wanted to finish at my daughter's before she arrives home later.
Hazel good that you're able to get out but don't do too much!
Wabo glad tooth a bit better...I'm in need of a filling but dentist just starting up again so could be a while.
Accommodation booked for tentative and v small daughters wedding take 3 in October. Hospital procedures and second wave possibilities permitting.
Feels wierd having no family staying.
Can you do the next six hours later in the week once you have recovered Els? I didn't realise it would be the third try for the wedding - I really hope it can go ahead.
Wabo: Glad your tooth is better.
LMH: Sorry to hear the recovery is still taking time. How is Lola today? And you are right about the crosstrainer being the obvious choice of exercise equipment. The only downside being that I need to go to the gym for that. I'm still not 100% comfortable and my social angst is making a return with numbers on the rise. I notice that I'm in people avoidance mode again thinking about reducing my office hours and doing more stuff from home.
Another brisk walk done today. 7k in 59:40 - it's a PB
Talking of cake: I made a non-crumbly apple cake today. Hubby bought some apples which didn't taste very nice as such but they made a decent cake. I tried a new recipe which said to pour some rum into the dough. Didn't have any but had some Sherry and it worked quite well. The dough came out very fluffy but probably not necessarily due to the Sherry but rather because I separated the eggs and worked the beaten egg whites into the dough before pouring the mixture into the tin.
LMH just needed to get myself out the door on a drizzly morning...an hour run and then an hour walk/jog on the trails this afternoon in improving weather and surprisingly dry underfoot.
Apple cake looks yum....recipe please!
els I do hope the wedding can go ahead, its all so uncertain!
I am sure I know todays lyrics, or should
Nice run alehouse, my July was 135 in the end. Highest August on record is 124...
Cakes all look yummy! I treated myself to a bit of Cleos saturday victoria sponge birthday cake. Very yum if I do say so myself!!
Swim around wreck this after noon (just a straightforward swim today - no diving off the wreck).
Hoping to get "Scapa Loop 5k" group restarted at 1730 (if anyone turns up)
Last rest this morning
Last hard staying awake yesterday evening.
Lyrics no
But I bet it tastes lovely Els. You are doing so well with your return to running.
I hope it helped Hazel and you're feeling better.
Wabo - glad you had a good time.
Sorry to hear that your stone is being troublesome OH. I hope you can have the operation soon.
Progress for me I think too. Had an email consult with physio this morning and current plan is fro another day of short walks tomorrow (though I ended up walking five miles without a break this afternoon as I took Lola and then went straight out for my afternoon walk) and if no adverse reaction I can try a short run on Wednesday. Unfortunately I can't use run/walk to increase the distance as she says the amount of repetitions on the joint is a factor as is the length of exposure to the load. My hip is a little achy after this afternoon's 'efforts' but ankle and knees feel fine so far. Fingers crossed.
Still a bit to go before I get back to my usual pace (and even that is slow!)
