Lyrics (looks like we've still got the colour theme I see), and maybe an obvious choice of band today -
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
Hope everyone is keeping well. Still trying to get back in the habit of posting here more often.
Got a parkrun pb a few weeks ago - 19:53 which was nice given that I haven't been doing much 5k training. Ran up Slieve Donard yesterday, and have my first of 3 half marathons in 6 weeks this weekend - hopeful for some more PBs.
Yesterday's lyrics - yes

What 3ish easy miles
Went cemetery with daughter and we reflected on how kacie would have been 21. Got back home and I just didn't have the oomph to go track on my own but I did the session on the road which made it tougher as our roads are not flat!
Proud of myself for doing it tbh
Wabo thoughts are with you, well done for going, must have been tough
Did 5km on Monday and ran the whole way. I'm sooooo slow but at least I'm running.
I've got a trail half at the start of November so am starting to build up for that but very slowly as still coughing.
Today hoping for 6km after nursery drop off.
Hi Chamolk! What halfs are you doing?
Have a great day all
Good to see you Chamolk!
Yesterday's lyrics were Ebony and Ivory, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder
Yes to today's! Appropriate and not just from a colour point of view! We actually had different lyrics from the same song last week, but you are of course let off, Chamolk! And well done on the parkrun PB!
Don't rush back too quickly, Emz!
Hope Jodie is ok, Wabo! And yourself. And well toughed out yesterday in several respects.
What: short and easy run, longer stretch
Why: not rushing back too quickly
What - A few miles run/walk and some random press ups/sit ups / weights
Why - Plan
A bit less of everything as a few days cut back / recovery
Chamolk - well done on the PB!
Emzap - Steady does it
Busy morning....
Wabo - well done for getting it done yesterday on what was a tough day
Chamolk - good to see you back and nailing a decent 5k pb. Good luck with the trio of HMs
Emz - slow maybe but getting it done, so good work. Plenty of time for November's race
Joe - enjoy the cut back, important part of the plan!
Ale - Run done before the test starts?
Hazel - hope you get the 800s done and it goes well for the cat!
What - easy run at lunchtime
Why - recovery
last rest - 11 days
last hard - yesterday. 3m w/u then 5x1k with 200 easy, mile c/d
Wasn't sure 5 would be doable but after 4, it was only one more...Pace not quite 5k speed, but still around 4:15/ks so pretty happy with that post covid!
lyric - yes indeed
I've got the Larne half this Sunday, then Washingbay 2 weeks later (both local), then going over to Manchester for the half on 10th Oct.
Originally had the Dublin marathon in late October, but it was cancelled last month. Then found out a few days ago that my London marathon in April has been moved to October.
Well done Wabo, I'm sure it's not easy.
Hopefully so Hazel, got luck with the cat.
Dustin - hope you're recovering well - looks like you busy be doing OK if you're training like that
Emz - slow running is still running. Are you recovering from something too?
Hi Joe, nice to meet you
Which HMS are you doing?
Wabo...a hard day for you and your family.
Emz.. a trail HM sounds good and good that you're feeling a lot better.
Hazel..you put me to shame...am having a rest day...7.5 miles yesterday plus yoga were tough but enjoyed the company of friend.
Dustin..well done on the hard work.
Joe...what's a few miles to you then?
Lyrics nope and probably a rest/tapering day.
No worries about the lyrics, Chamolk!
Dustin...
What: short run, longer stretches
Why: get back in time for the cricket!
Generally anything under an hour, is a few miles :-)
Oh I probably know the lyrics
Wabo: 21! Time flies. It's a sad time for you. Extra kudos for getting that session in nonetheless!
Hazel: Hope your cat is ok.
Great 5k PB, chamolk and thanks for starting the thread.
That looks like you're on the mend, emzap. Fingers crossed.
Sensible plan for tonight's club, Dustin.
Enjoy your rest day, Els.
Ale: I meant to ask: did you manage to get rid of that shin pain?
What: 5 miles on the TM with 5 x 800 reps
Why: about time I threw in a leetle bit of speed
Last hard: That was, especially as my flat out effort used to be my MP!
Lyrics: yes
Chamolk I had some non covid cough, cold flu thing 2 days after Norovirus. I've been out of action for 5 weeks.
Nice to see a busy thread again
Well done on the TM speed session, Chick. And by and large the shins are ok whilst not quite right if you know what I mean!
And 6k is not a short run, Emz! That's pretty well my longest at the moment. And don't worry about the pace. It will all come back in due course!
And are you catching the test?
I won't comment on your mileage either now or at your peak, Joe! A long time ago I found that anything over about 65 used to break me, but looking back that was because everything was too fast and would usually include three speed sessions.
