Lyrics - If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine, and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Yesterday's lyrics were Landslide, by Fleetwood Mac
Well, in the end, I did no exercise at all yesterday. No harm in resting obviously, I was quite tired after work so probably needed it.
Glad your run went well LMH, hope it hasn't caused any ill effects today.
Good luck with the weight loss Emz, sounds a reasonable approach. I've stopped all sweet stuff for November, partly for weight loss and partly so I can enjoy them in December, a bit more guilt free.
Hows the recovery going chick?
Hope the tummy is better today poppy
Nice hill session Dustin. I was looking at the hill I have nearby where I'd do shorter repeats (up to about 30s) and marvelling at how small it looks as you approach it in the car, yet it looks so much steeper when you're standing at the bottom about to charge up it
Hoping to get back to that hill/trail I went to the other day - I'll try and get a photo on later, assuming it's not as foggy today

If rest felt right then it was chamolk. Unfortunately my knee disturbed my sleep last night. I don't think the two days in a row with just the one day off after was a good idea. Lesson learnt. Hope the weather is good and you enjoy your run today.
emzap - the perpetual greyness doesn't help anything. I'm not a winter person in usual circumstances as you know.
I've managed not to put on any real weight even with the lack of miles but I am sitting at my winter weight - no harm in that as long as it doesn't go much higher! I'm not confident I'm going to be in a position to run it off at any point in the near future (if ever). If we were in normal times I'd probably have tried to find something at the gym that didn't upset it even if it was just swimming but I can't see that happening for another few months either so I'll just have to try not to eat too much of my baking - lemon polenta cake planned this morning after Lola's walk and before going for my x-ray.
Lyrics - unusually for chamolk's, no.
Quick post before work.
Lyrics: no
What: a run
Why: running every day
Suspect I will get wet.
We were forecast rain from 1400hrs Alehouse but it looks as though it's started early so I'm afraid your prediction is probably correct.
Quiet!
What: short and easy run
Why: it was pouring. Was always going to be an easier day anyway. Waterproof socks were a blessing!
Hope all went to plan, LMH!
Emz - "cutting out sweet things" ? Sorry, cannot compute....
LMH - wow that's good service
What - hour easy on the trails, still a bit swampy out there
Why - recovery
last rest - 10/10/20
last hard - yesterday
Rain just about limited to drizzle for the run: hammered down working this afternoon
lyric - not sure I do...
I spotted straight away that the date is wrong, my son's birthday is 19/11 - tomorrow. Confused me!
Dustin nice running!
LMH very good going with the health centre!
Alehouse glad you have waterproof socks lol, it was dry here today
hazel hope you had a good run
chamolk hope you got a run in
What: 9k with 3 x 2min 3 x 4min and 3 x 2min effort, all alone
why: billy no mates today!
Last hard that was because it all involved hills!
last rest: 31/12/16
Back just slightly easing up today, hope it does so even more in the next few days
Glad the xray was quick LMH
Waterproof socks Ale? Didn't know there was such a thing. Are they better than waterproof shoes?
I'm not much good at the downhills Hazel, tend to do a bit better uphill
Nice to get on the trails Dustin
I managed 11.2 miles, got back to that local trail up some hills. 1600 ft of climbing. Main problem today was the wind - the easy decent that lasts a few miles had a stinker of a head wind that meant I finished the decent exhausted, and struggled a bit on the second lap. I'll post a few photos - the weather lifted a bit, though the ground was pretty sodden
Looks pretty remote, Chamolk! Sounds and looks like a tough run today!
Waterproof socks: I was a bit uncertain as to the benefit but wouldn't do without them. Feet don't stay dry, just damp; but there is none of the heavy squishy feel, and, your feet stay clean. I think LMH also wears them at times. Certainly one for the Christmas list!
That was a big session, Wabo! Especially alone and especially including hills!
Wow Chamolk, beautiful. My first marathon was Belfast, and fastest too!
What: yoga
Why: was going to be a run day but legs were really heavy so postponed run until tomorrow
Last hard: I'm cream crackered, though Lucas has slept through 2 nights in a row!
Lyrics: nope
Hazel I'm better at down than up, always overtake people on down and get overtaken on up!
LMH efficient! When do you get the results? Lemon polenta cake sounds lovely
Ale at least your feet remained unsquelchy!
Wabo that sounds tough.
Day 3 of healthy eating has been much easier than Days 1 and 2. Will definitely be taking a break at the weekends though or I'll never be able to do my long runs!
Have a great evening all
