Morning all
Thought I'd give LMH a break and start my first one of these - such pressure choosing lyrics. I hope they haven't been used recently. I'm doing night shifts this week - not an early riser
Lyrics - Sunrise doesn't last all morning, a cloudburst doesn't last all day
Managed 5k run on Saturday , and another yesterday evening before work - both pretty hot and not especially fast, but good to be getting back in to it
Hope the morning brings some ease from the various ailments

Yesterday's lyrics - Slow Motion by David Gray.
Cheers chamolk - you're a star :-) Great that you are back running. Difficult sleeping around night shifts when the weather is like this.
Els - I've had far too much rest this year as it is but unfortunately bits of my body could still do with more in order to heal and other bits won't no matter how much rest I give them. Hence difficult to know what to do for the best. Hope you enjoy the run with your friend.
It's a grey start to the day here but its forecast to be a hot one. I'm rather nervous about my run, setting out knowing that it's almost certainly going to result in not being able to run again tomorrow feels a bit strange but needs must. I just hope everything holds up for the run itself.
Some good news. Lola had a medication and limp free day yesterday so she's hopefully on the mend.
What: LSR
Why: boom
Last hard: healing
Last rest: 10/8
Lyrics - no.
lyrics no
Chamolk glad you are getting back into it and no it isn't easy
LMH good news about lola, long may it continue. Enjoy your lsr. Your lyrics were very fitting for my movements yesterday and will be today as well
what: hoped for a 5k, doubtful
why: back
last hard: yesterday evening
last rest:31/12/16
have a good day all, I will try and get something done at about 8 I think
Lyrics: no
Glad you are making progress, Chamolk!
Hope the LSR goes to plan, LMH!
And hope the back eases, Wabo! Strangely my back at the lower end where I fractured the sacrum was playing up yesterday. Wonder if it is after doing a tiny bit of quicker stuff.
What: a run of some description later, plus stretches
Why: raining at present! I think it will evaporate rather quickly when it stops! Strengthening glutes and hamstrings particularly.
My bad leg from car accident and ankle from ligament tears last year are really aching today. No idea why. Wonder if it's the fundraising equivalent of maranoia...
What: short walk
Last hard: running a. 39°C, 20 min out then get back to base in 20 min. Out was uphill and really tough. Didn't stay for extra efforts as was enough and was soaked by then!
Lyrics: nope. If I'd have had to start this morning it would have been nursery rhymes !!
Lmh good news about Lola. Hope the run is good even though you know it means no run tomorrow.
Chamolk, remind me were you injured or ill? Good to see you again.
Going to our first baby class in 20 weeks (last time was when I was on my last week of leave, my oh missed out for the whole time he was off).
Have a lovely day all
LMH - hope the LSR goes OK, and goodnews about Lola
Wabo - ouchie with the back, take it easy
Chamolk - glad you're getting back, but really, didn't we have these lyrics last week
Emz - sounds a good session, the 20/20
OH - looks bracing, OK when you're in I guess!
Els - pleased you have a date, lets hope it doesn't change
What - club night, 400/300/200/100 efforts , same distance steady, x3
Why - I am athlete
last rest - 20/06
last hard - will be today
lyric - not sure I do...
Stiff left knee (old partial meniscectomy and running to not exacerbate stone). Stone also grumbling.
Made a cake.
Will swim after lunch.
36 years ago today we tied the knot.
Last rest was a while ago.
Last hard: losing sight of 100 miles this month (currently on 49)
Lyrics no
Love the idea of nursery rhyme lyrics - might actually get some of those LOL
I wouldn't recommend it as a marathon training schedule Dustin. One of the hardest LSRs I think I've ever done. I'm sure I've felt better after racing marathons! Enjoy your club session.
Hope your aches ease emzap. It probably is taper madness.
LMH haven't done a long run in so long but happy just to be out there at present. Well done with yours.
Dustin it's Peter who has a date just hoping it's not same week as I get mine though they will have to give enough warning for covid tests etc.
Emzap that sounds mega tough!
Wabo hope back ok!
Eek hadn't done anything at all about wedding anniversary and embarrassed to bee presented with a beautiful cake stand. Feel spoilt!
Lyrics nope...Maybe worth giving the nursery rhymes a whirl!
lots of aches today
Hope you are not too bad after the lsr LMH - think that is what has tipped me over the edge this week, close on 3 hours on my feet was just too much
emzap, hope it is only 'taper' madness
dustin indeed you are athlete, enjoy the club run
alehouse, hope you had a good run
My daughter has shown me a good stretch that I will try in a bit, something like pidgeon pose
Definitely going with only a mile, I need this back to ease. Cancelled all weeks plans for club run and mates walk etc (sensible)
This heat is unbearable!!
Will be interesting to see how the knees are tomorrow, LMH! Well done on banking it! Probably not the easiest day to do it heat-wise!
Sounds like a decent run, Els. Glad that one of you has a date! Hope you get yours soon and it doesn't clash.
What: just 25 minutes.
Why: didn't get out until this afternoon and it was 28 degrees. Kept it gentle but heart rate was fairly high for the effort. Quite a few niggles today as well so took an easy day, which is fine just as long as I don't take too many.
Sorry to hear that your back is still bad Wabo.
It wasn't the easiest day to have done it Alehouse. Didn't realise quite how hot it was (you know I like it hot) until I got on the scales pre-shower. Despite 400mls of water on the run and 200ml drink when I got home I was still 1.4kg lighter than first thing this morning. I don't usually sweat much! Well done on being sensible. Knees feel ok so far - ankle seems to be the weakest link though it will be tomorrow I'll know about the knees really.
1.4 kg in weight loss is loads. Make sure you re-hydrate properly during the day.
Happy anniversary OH and Els.
Take it easy, wabo. And ale. Hope your respective backs ease up.
Looks like you're getting back into the swing of things, chamolk.
Hope it's only fundrasing maranoia, em. And I do hope your oh's scan comes out ok.
Enjoy the speed work, Dustin. I know you like it
More s&c today and very little sleep again. It was so hot last night that we stayed in the garden until midnight and watched the stars. Quite lovely but the mossies won and made us retreat in the end.
Emzap - appendicitis/appendicectomy, 5 weeks ago now. Hope you get reassuring news soon about the scan
Dustin - I'm going to have to look through the threads now to see if they were used last week, I missed a few days. I like your reason why for your run.
Happy anniversaries OH and Els
Just back from another 5k - thought it would have cooled down a bit more by this time, but it's still pretty hot (and I'm still deconditioned). Back in to work shortly , hope I stop sweating before then
Still very warm here which we are not used to either in the north-west. Was 29 or thereabouts when I ran. Well done on the 5k Chamolk, and I recall summers of working nights and failing to sleep during the day.
I don't recall the lyrics being used recently, either!
