Morning.
Lyrics - Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair
Glad your first day went ok RFJ. I assume you're working from home?
Pitch black here still but the Met says it's going to be another grey day - a bit of sunshine would go a long way to helping to lift the mood I think but not much I can do about that. GP has apparently referred me for an x-ray but as all I got was a text message with no details I'm going to have to spend some time working out how to arrange that later today - and decide whether I think it's worth the risk at the moment of course.
What: hopefully some easy miles
Why: I persist in trying to run
Last hard: getting through the pain of the first half mile or so
Last rest: 9/11
Yesterday's lyrics - New Beginning by Tracy Chapman.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

What 10k today, possible session in the middle
Why it's track day but I can't go there
Last hard last night, I forgot how I don't like not seeing pavements properly!
Last rest 31/12/16
Lmh we must be feeling the same
Hope you get some sun and easy miles
Lyrics: yes. I think I may have used these many moons ago...and if I didn't I should have!
One word, Wabo: cake!
LMH: having been into hospitals a few times recently I feel safer there than in the supermarket. And talking of which I have been struggling to buy butter, but yesterday evening did manage to get some plant based Stork butter, both salted and unsalted. Not tried yet. Have you?
What: half an hour or so this pm
Why: hoping for a better run than yesterday's
Work beckons.
What - in the absence of club night, I may well do something at lunchtime
Why - break the day up
last rest - 10/10
last hard - Sunday
Problem with commuting is that I'm tired before I even start. To think I used to do this 5 days a week, every week!
In glummer news, county XC league now cancelled for the winter: the January & February courses refused council permission, so that just leaves March which they rightly agreed was probably not worth it.
In brighter news, the Summer National League have announce dates for the 2021 season...
Alehouse - no, I don't need to bake dairy free it just happens that sometimes my recipes are.
A lunchtime run sounds like a good idea Dustin.
Thanks for the well wishes. First day was fine. Obviously IT problems which are still ongoing but I expected that!
Last night went to "club" ie. 2 of us from club met at the normal place and went for 5.6 km. Slow as she's a slower runner than me, but nice to get out and about.
Been doing yoga on the days I'm not running and I think it's starting to help my back, flexibility and I can feel it's been working my core!
What: today just walking to nursery once
Why: rest day and he finishes too early for me to pick him up in my first week!
Last hard: I'm enjoying things at the moment
Lyrics: don't think so
Lucas slept through last night!!!!
Wabo sorry you're still struggling with your theft. When my mum's engagement ring got stolen it took me a while to come to terms with it, hard to accept they're "only" things. Sending hugs
Well done rfj for motm and I loved that report. Made me want to do another marathon.
Chick any news on the op?
Ale any news on the hip?
Hazel maybe we need to do a joint virtual time trial, though that would still be tough! Need to do Speedwork on my own this week...
Have a lovely day all
Have a lovely day all.
Glad you got some sleep and your first day went well emzap. Hope both continue.
Wabo feel for you but at least the claim is done now.
Emz and RFJ hope new jobs going well. Good news on sleeping baby too!
Lmh..as Alet says procedures in X ray v safe..Lots of cleaning and no hanging around in waiting areas.much safer than Tesco s!
8 m on west coast roads with 2 running friends yesterday. Tough pace for me...unfortunately they continue to resist the lure of the trails. Fog never lifted all day and it's now well dark by 4 here.
Still got no idea how travel and accommodation logistics will go for my procedure at end of month.
Probably some soup making and then a solo run.
V foggy last 2 days, just been for a quiet 8.4m solo. And made some pumpkin and lentil soup and scones. Might be a knitting afternoon!
Good friend is doing 50k in laps of Wideford to celebrate her 50th at the weekend, socially distanced fellow runners welcome. Not sure how many laps I am capable of currently but would like to take part. Will also be very soggy underfoot!
Not easy to plan things at present, Els, especially from Orkney! I would have thought the hospital could make suggestions.
What: just over half an hour largely off road
Why: wanted a better run than yesterday, which I got...just. Something not quite right and legs really not keen on playing. Two weeks today since my procedure and only had one, or perhaps two, reasonable runs in that time. Perhaps it took more out of me than I thought. And another two weeks to wait for results.
Glad your new jobs started well, Emz and RFJ.
Take it easy Alehouse - it will come back.
LMH - did you get x Ray arranged.
I don't think there's any problem with the bed for procedure - unless things get worse but need overnight on way down and day after discharge - it will likely work out but can't really prearrange anything until we know where are allowed to stay. Would all be much easier without covid but hey what wouldn't!
Ale - Waiting for results is hard!
That is great after such a long lay off chicksta - it won't take you long to build from there.
Chick nice one with the 5k
Nice off road again alehouse
Els what a predicament. Hope somehow it can be sorted out for you. Enjoy the laps, what a lovely idea
Emzap glad all went well.
I got out in the afternoon, albeit with a really sore back - again!! Too much time at my desk unfortunately. Did mile warm up and 10 tough hills with Sacha. We both did really well. Then mile cool down, altogether 5.66 miles. Tomorrow will be a very short easy run
Micro "creepie" made before physiotherapy appt at 16:30.
Physio feels pain is musculoskeletal in origin (quadratus +- facet joint) and that she can help whilst saying I was a bit of a puzzle.
Back next week ...
