Lyrics - She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
Yesterday's were The Night, by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
That's pushing the limits of medium in the MLR Hazel, well done.
Sorry to hear about the knee LMH - any better this morning?
Sounds miserable Emz - unfortunately it looks like we're in for a whole winter of swabs for every temperature or cough
Hope you get better soon Poppy, and sorry to hear the problems with the stent OH
Ale - how are the hamstrings this morning?
Chick - 3 hours or gardening would leave me feeling worse than a 3 hour run I think
Dustin - good plan, I'd be doing my best to stay off the tube too
Did a 2 mile walk before work last night. Slept OK, but woken up by a few work phone calls. Things are getting pretty busy, so I might have to go straight from this shift in to my other job in the morning, so I'm on the come zero currently. Dunno if I'll have the energy for a run later or not

I hope you managed some sleep chamolk - don't go burning yourself out. One of the strange things about my knee is that it generally feels absolutely find wandering around the house. It's not until I've walked a few hundred metres that it starts to hurt. I will head out and try a run but have no idea how it will be.
Hope you get the results back in time to go out for today's 5k emzap - do you have a plan of how you can do it whilst self isolating?
What: hoping for a run but who knowa
Why: I want to run
Last hard: Not being able to run
Last rest: 7/9
Lyrics - no.
Emzap hope Lucas is ok
Lmh hope the knee is ok
Lovely time in Cornwall, every run went down hill steep, flat for a bit then back up to where my brother lives! Legs seemed to get used to it which is good
What 4.5 miles at some point today
Why why not
Last hard yesterday am
Last rest 31 12 16
Have a good day all - I'm taking the granddaughters to school this morning, Lyla goes all day now, she's only 4 bless her
That was a short break, Wabo! Hope mum was ok!
Do hope that you got some sleep, Chamolk! Hamstrings seem fine...so far!
Take care, LMH!
What: something easy running-wise plus long stretch
Why: yesterday was harder/neglecting stretches a bit lately which I can't afford to do!
Run won't happen until later: pouring again! And still dark.
Lyrics: no

Might be useful in getting other events up and running again too
I think that lots of people who have been using the parks over the past few months are going to be unhappy faced with large crowds of sweaty runners taking over the paths as though they are the only ones with a right to use them on a Saturday morning and not maintaining social distancing before, during or after their run. I guess they'll have to get permission from each local authority? Research funded by the organisation with a vested interest - if it were tobacco or plastic manufacturers there would be a lot of cynicism about it.
Stretch Alehouse! I have been very good doing my rehab and core exercises.
Doesn't look as though you've managed any sleep chamolk?
Well, this morning was a good knee morning. I set off for my little pre-run walk bit and could feel the knee which made me think it wasn't going to happen again today but I started running and whilst it got a little worse it didn't go beyond the uncomfortable stage. Not quite as pain free as Sunday's run but a mood enhancing, life affirming eight miles run and I felt as though I could have carried on (if I'd had breakfast!). Hoping that as usual this means that walking will also be ok today.
Sounds good, LMH...as long as there are no repercussions!
Enjoy the group run, Hazel! And I presumed that you had translated from kms.
What: the rain stopped so I went out. Had only got to the river bank (300 metres) before the heavy drizzle started. Legs tired but nothing specific. Quads worse than the hamstrings or glutes. Just over 30 minutes banked. Stretches will be later.
Why: easy day plus need to get back into the stretching routine. Website says the uni fitness suite re-opened yesterday, so that will help if that is correct.
Off to dry out in the bath. Again.
Ale - good work on the sprints, age is but a number...
Hazel - meant to say 15 for a MLR seems quite a lot, enjoy the group run
OH - sorry to hear about the post op struggles, hope you're feeling rosier today
Chick - quite right, south bank used to be a slalom, now it's human free!
LMH - sounds like a decent run today. As for work, I think it will be a slow return.
It is actually quite nice to be with others: there were 5 out of about 50 in.
We can probably do much of our work from home, but some things you cannot. I'd hate to be a new member of staff told to log in and just crack on. And surely if we can work from home, it can be done more cheaply if labour is outsourced overseas...
Emz - fingers crossed and hope you , and chamolk, get better sleep tonight
What - club night 5 mins , 5x1 min, 5mins, 5x1 min, 5mins
Why - apparently being hung, drawn and quartered is abolished so we're going for the next worse thing
last rest - 31/08
last hard - today
Looking forward to it, will still keep a lid on any over exertion to keep hammy safe, but also pleased that we have around 45 registered for training tonight. It's like covid never happened!
Not sure this is a good idea, as much as I love parkrun. Pretty sure ours won't get permission to go ahead for some time. The area is super busy as is.
Ouch, Dustin. Enjoy tonight's training.
Em: Hope Lucas is improving and that your tests come back clean.
chamolk: What LMH said. Careful.
Glad it was a good knee day, LMH. Hope there are more of those in the days to come.
I plucked up some courage and and went to the gym today for a nice workout of 45mins on the elliptical and 30 mins of kettlebells. There were no more than 4 people in the vast cardio area and the free weights weren't very busy either. So I felt quite safe and decided I shall go more often.
Dustin - or they can pay you the same but not pay for the expensive office space.. Keep being sensible with that hamstring.
I doubt very much if I'll be having a good leg day tomorrow but I made the most of this one - Mark and I walked twelve miles (round trip total) to have an ice cream! Mark told me it was four miles each way initially which sounded manageable then it changed to five and the extra was caused by someone taking the opportunity to use Covid as an excuse to stop people walking the cliff path across their land leading to an inland then back to the coast diversion.
Today has been a lot better. Just paracetamol and have been for a couple of short walks.
Yet to run or swim.post op ...
Owww oh, sounds like it's getting better though?
3 hours of sleep last night. No test results back so a 5km round the garden. A whole loop of front and back is 100m. If these results don't come soon I'm going to need willpower of steel to keep this up. It was excruciating. Also took 55min and I was running quite hard. Think the GPS was way out!
Hoping to have less screaming and more sleeping tonight and wake up to some test results. Lucas is meant to be going to nursery tomorrow for a settling in day. I foresee a nightmare winter of covid testing and quarantine for anyone with toddlers...
Emzap blimey that's tough going!!!
Lmh glad you got a run in
Oh hope things are easier tonight
Nice gym visit chicksta
Nice training Dustin
I'm wondering if park run will happen end of October with news tonight of no more than 6 to meet
Hazel hope group run was good
I did 3.75 tonight on the end as I had to spend time with son and family today
Alehouse hope you did your stretches
Night night
