Friday 22nd January 2021 They were summoned from the hillside
Morning!
Lyrics: They were summoned from the hillside,
They were called in from the glen,
Good news on the central heating, Els/OH!
Yesterday's were Amazing Grace, which was sung at Joe Biden's inauguration. As it is from the 1770s there is no original recording!
What: see what I can do this pm
Why: icy, hoping that the water will recede a little more, watching cricket this morning.

Floods receding here alehouse - hope it's the same for you. Slippery in places but the sun is out.
You are putting in some good miles Hazel. I can go without the sling for periods in the house, not sure about ditching it permanently but have a phone call from the physio Wednesday morning.
Good heating news Els/OH.
Whilst the river level is dropping, LMH, the standing water between me and the river doesn't seem to have moved very much at all. Not really anywhere for it to go as the ground was already saturated.
Hazel: the river bank has two levels which are usually sufficient protection but not on this occasion. There is then quite a steep rise before my road, fortunately. One of my neighbours has been here over 70 years and she says it has never got more than half way up the rise.
Re the PM, last year he was heavily criticised for not visiting flood struck areas of Yorkshire for six days so presumably he was trying to score a few brownie points by doing the right thing. Presumably he can travel for work purposes, Els!
And you seem to be training well, Hazel!
Managed to find 50 minutes of largely off road running, although had to take a few diversions. Better than I thought!
And a decent stretch!
Ale - cracking photos, hopefully you are keeping safe
OH/Els - Heating!!! YAY!!!
Hazel - good MLR. I know what you mean, even the easy runs offroad are hard at the moment.
LMH - fingers crossed for physio on Weds
What - easy run
Why - back off Friday, absorbing the sensible advice of the Forum to take it easy!
(look at me being all grown up!)
Last rest - 10/10
Last hard - Yesterday
Long work day yesterday, didn't get a chance to get out and was stuck to the monitor for over 10 hours. Headed out (in darkness) at 5:45 and after a couple of easy miles, cruised along at MP (8s), finished with a mile or so easy. Glad to have got out.
Today was about 6.5 miles on a trail/road mix. Had to break the ice on several puddles in the woods and there was still spots of ice on the roads. Easy paced though, legs feeling a bit better.
Around 100k to go this month on the virtual Pennine Way (70 miles). After a long run on Sunday, next week may only need to be a 50 miler!
Adjusting to warmer house, though the temp has dropped again was v cosy last night.
Much drier brighter day here but cold wind, wimped out of going up the hill the soggy way and went on the main trail which was dryish.
Hope Didsbury and Derby drying out a bit.
Hazel, you seem to do a lot of hard runs, I've not done anything very hard this week apart from Monday which was wind hindered!
Well done Dustin. I wish I could see the physio but such is life.
Colder here today Els but no rain which is good.
