Thursday 6th April 2023 - I'm really close tonight

Morning

I'm really close tonight 
And I feel like I'm moving inside her

Still a body part

Els: I will be in Berne this afternoon (to get running shoes hopefully) - if you read this in time, it fits in and want to then we could meet up for a coffee.  Would be nice but no obligations!  However I hope you get there reading about the strike.  Sounds like you had a nice day in Paris yesterday.

Sorry to hear about your job situtation Wabo.  I hope you find something that suits.

Well done on the 600s Dustin.

Enjoy the calmer weather Chicksta.

Dustin and I are doing a marathon on the same day (but not the same race) and are basically following the same plan Chamolk - hence the coordinated training.  Those mid-week MLRs are worth it.

Good news you are not getting ill Pammie

What: short recovery
Why: no need for more
Last hard: 600s yesterday
Last rest: 31.10.22

    Great!  I would suggest that I look for you on the platform - I will (temporarily!) put on a fluorescent yellow running hat..  I will be arriving at 12:39 at the station and will keep an eye on your train.  I've also PMed you my mobile number.

    Would be great to see you!

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    Yesterday's were When I'm Sixty Four, The Beatles

    Hope you meet up Hazel, Els, OH!

    Sorry to hear your work news, Wabo. Didn't realise that it was so soon. Hope you are soon sorted.

    What: some sort of run

    Why: not sure when. Had hoped to go to the first day of the cricket season but can't see that there will be much play. Looks like rain and it rained all day yesterday: inevitably got soaked on my run.
    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    wow how cool that hazel, els and oh will meet! Only one I have met here is OH.
    RE work news, I do think they will give me two days work a week, I am more confident now I can manage and to be fair it will give me more time with family so I feel better. What I cant do is give up totally because I have a mortgage
    What: 2-3 later
    why: I want to
    last hard: lastnight off road but very enjoyable
    last rest: 28/12
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can

    That's a relief Wabo!
    Very pleasant couple of hours having a walk round Berne and coffee with Hazel! Selfie will follow but on Hazel's phone as I locked mine in locker and Peters lens broke! International forum relations. We have met Ale and Lmh also but later not for years! Lots of run chat if not running!

    Great to see a meeting happening, hope you all enjoyed the coffee and chat.

    Glad to hear you have something planned Wabo

    Ale - surprised to hear about the rain, we've got a lovely day here, except for the 2 minute heavy shower within the first mile of my run.

    Dustin and Hazel- enjoy the tapers

    Planned 4 easy miles today, running up to meet the boys finishing school, but a road was closed meaning I had to do a longer route, and did just under 5 miles at tempo pace to get there on time

    Afternoon!

    Yes, been at the cricket...and no rain! The only cricket ground in the country that has had a full day's play. Cold  enough for one of the umpires to wear a snood!

    Glad that the Swiss meeting happened! I must visit sometime, or Germany or Northern Ireland! Or about time I headed south to meet Wabo! (Two days is good, by the way: I rarely do more than that.)

    Over the years I have met Clink, Tigger's Mate Roo, LMH, Donaldo, Hilly, Barnsley Runner...none of them still posting!  Have also run with EmzOHEls, met Pammie (briefly!), and Dustin recently. Also Stevie G, Simon C, PRF, PeteMTorque Steer and Cal from other threads.  No doubt I have forgotten someone: no offence intended!

    Run was just 20 minutes, and again a struggle: don't seem to have recovered from Monday's slow 6k!

    Have an appointment to see a consultant (friend) about my lower back and possibly shoulder next Thursday. Plus blood tests at the GP on Weds. All fun!

    Another fine mess, OH! Somebody would probably pay a small fortune for that piece of art!

    Ale definitely the king of meet ups!
    Think we could sell it as art?
