Monday 20th June 2022 She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
Morning!
Lyrics: She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
Yesterday's were Kate Bush, Running Up That Hill. Currently number one in the UK, over 40 years after its release.
What: a run with M77
Why: Monday. Probably about 45 minutes.
Sunny and 20 degrees forecast.
Hope that you are not too badly affected, Els, and that OH is over the worse.
Any progress, Wabo?
Today's lyrics were chosen for no other reason than the song was playing when I met Salvador the other day!

Lyrics yes - saw live in around 2010 and remains my favourite ever gig
Slept for almost 11 hours last night. Legs fairly stiff today so I expect it'll just be a few easy miles later. Have a busy enough week coming up (mostly through leisure activities rather than work though) so I'll need to try and squeeze in a few runs here and there when I can
Kate Bush's song was used in Stranger Things, a Netflix series, so got to number one via streaming as far as I'm aware, and a recent change in the rules to how streams are counted towards the charts
Decent session on tired legs, Chick!
Yes, that's what I understand re Kate Bush, Chamolk!
What: just over 40 minutes
Why: chat and run with M77. Enough running for both of us following our respective parkruns on Saturday. Could have continued the chat though!
& +2 to what Chamolk & Ale said about Kate Bush
I know today's lyric too - bumped into the lead singer years ago at Glastonbury. Crushed velvet purple jacket if I recall correctly...(him , not me)
Ale - nice outing with the m77
Chick - quality session on tired legs
Hazel - who doesn't love a few hills?
Els / OH - how you feeling today?
chamolk - 11 hours sleep - I am envious!
what - 4k easy with 6-8 75m strides earlier
why - hamstring a bit niggly so wanted to see how it reacted to "speed" ahead of vets league tonight
last rest - 11/06
last hard - 12/06
So I think it's a reoccurrence of the issue I had earlier this year - I can run steady/slow miles without any issues, it just grumbles when I turn the pace up. First few weeks of mara training were like this so I'm not too flustered. Just puts paid to me racing 1500 tonight, but may jog round the steeplechase (and I mean jog) if we don't have a b string or v50. Will do a few easy laps and plenty of stretching otherwise.
Just pushes back the 5k/10k training. C'est la vie.
Nice re yesterday's lyrics, Ale!
Dustin, hope the injury is nothing!
Thanks for good wishes, Peter is feeling much better but test still pos so release from the house is still a while off. I'm better in terms of headache but very lethargic, shivery and coughing. Just want to sleep but then I couldn't when headache was bad!
Enjoy being out and about!
Had just started to increase running distance with a (slow) run over Wideford Hill (6.3 miles) - the first over 5k in more than 6 months - then Covid hit - 2d before my scheduled spinal injection.
Fortunately had a relatively mild course so far but just completed 5 days of Paxlovid (antiviral) so we'll see how the next few days go ...
Zilch exercise over last week but have been keeping busy doing a bit of programming (a utility program to help cope with multiple monitors). Pool closed this week for maintenance so would not have been any aqua running whatever.
Hopefully will get my "discharge papers" this week ...
(Know I've been AWOL a while but other than trying to get around parkrun, I was not really running.)
