Morning!
Lyrics: Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Change of sport today; yesterday's lyrics were Queen with Bicycle Race
What: good question
Why: seeing consultant at 10.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

What 5 mile race this evening
Have a good day all
What Hazel said, Wabo!
Sounds a tough run, Hazel!
Consultant: can start gentle run/walk. Scan showed a minor muscle tear but he thinks it will be largely healed by now. Bones were fine, which we had been concerned about. Both Achilles showed issues, but no surprise there! Physio booked.
Gym now!
Wabo: enjoy, if a race in the heat can be enjoyed. But like the others said, just take it easy.
Hazel: Oh, I remember that feeling. I'm better off with an empty stomach tbh. But 4 miles @ a tough pace is good going.
Strangely enough yesterday's lyrics came to me as I couldn't sleep last night
And of course I know today's.
A little shy of 6 miles done this morning. Bit of respite from the heat surely helped. My pace seems to improve a bit too. It's still rubbish but it was the best pace to HR ratio yet and the longest run since my op. Fingers crossed.
Good going, Chick.
What: fitness suite then 10 minutes gentle run plus two walk breaks
Why: I am allowed
Off to cricket for England v Pakistan shortly. Eldest should be going as I bought him a ticket for his birthday, plus I said I would buy the food and drink; unfortunately he is self isolating for ten days for the third time. As a teacher he is always at risk of being contacted by track and trace. A parent had sent a child into school knowing that they had Covid but didn't want them to miss the last day of term. Now over 30 children and staff miss the first ten days of their holiday. Should be prosecuted!
I. had been a teacher with a very lively mind but suffered from severe dementia for the last years of her life.
walks with Ellie today.
In Birsay (plan as there was no room on the ferry to Hoy.
pleasant enough day but no heat wave here
lyrics no
Lyrics yep.
Ale good news on running soon...enjoy.
Chick...good going!
Hazel..always doing loads of hard runs!
Wabo...lots of racing for you just now.
Low mileage week for me. Work and 5k loop yesterday. Today lots of walks with Ellie and co and trip to the brewery for lunch. Saw a lot of puffins in Birsay surprisingly...they will leave in next couple weeks.
Entered stromness 10k sat but will depend on what rest of family want to do if I actually take part. Lost confidence as no events done since Feb 2020!
Ale - sounds good with respect to the running. A good day to watch cricket but a tough one that your son couldn't join in.
From what I hear from club mates and friends, that sort of parental behavior is widespread...
Hazel - good session
Wabo - hope it went well
Chick - all progress and moving in the right direction
OH - sorry for your loss, even if it is a release its still a body blow when it happens
What - Club Marathon threshold set 2 x 16 minutes with 4 easy between each.
Pace not exotic (too hot) but still managed around 7:15s
Why - club set
last rest - last Wednesday
last hard - that was
lyric - yes
Back from a jaunt around the country, finishing with 3 days in Manchester with #2 offspring.
Managed 3 runs in territory that Ale would know (Fallowfield): Short 5k around Platt Fields, then an 8 mile out and back (Eastbound) and 5 mile out and back (Westbound) on the Fallowfield loop - a former railway line, now a cycle path.
And I thought it only rained in Manchester: was sweltering every day!
