Morning Lyrics yes Take it easy alehouse Feel quite jaded myself and have to do 2 hours driving to see the tiptree grandchildren today so What not the planned 6, prob just 3 Why see above Last hard yesterday Last rest 28 12 22
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
Hiya Ale - take it easy , I know exactly how you feel! Chick - more epic mileage Wabo - enjoy the grandkids time
What - just 4 miles Why - flat , deflated , knackered last rest - 21/09 last hard - Yesterday's XC, but tbh today was no cake walk
Getting the Nationals out the way (Saturday) then time for a re think. I know its all relative, but feel so sluggish and devoid of speed at the moment. So perhaps cut back, more S&C, and more sleep for a few weeks. See if that makes a difference. Have to enjoy your running!
A break is probably not a bad thing, Dustin! Btw, congrats on your club's win 👏🏻
I pretty much stopped running in August for a few weeks when everything was such a chore. I'm still slow and used to be a lot bouncier but overall I'm happy out there and cranky when I don't run.
I cancelled the grandkids till wed over night and come home Thursday afternoon, less driving in one day and they're happy I'm having sleep over 😂 So all in all I had a much needed more restful day Pammie hope run/walk was ok Dustin spot on about enjoying running, congrats on club win Chick my last long run was a slog too I ended up doing 2.5 miles this morning then another 1.2 I think dropping something off to docs(BP reading for a week as it was so high when she did it, total fine when I do 🤔)

Evening.. cautiously sneaks back on to thread... sorry for the long abscence.
I hope everyone is ok, if it seems not all 100% ok.
Sounds like you have a good plan there Wabo. Good to see the streak is still going well.
Hope you are feeling better this evening Ale.
Well done on the 9 miles in those conditions Chicksta.
Could be time to break the streak then Dustin. Maybe you need some cake after yesterday's XC efforts.
Enjoy your as-you-feel- runs Pammie. Can definitely vote for those at the moment.
I'm now 4 and a bit weeks into my running comeback. I took three whole weeks off in the end (with moving house in the middle). A break was long overdue. I am doing as-you-feel runs and have no plans to change that, I've let myself be dictated to for too long by training plans and race dates. It doesn't mean I won't race at all but it will be short-term entries and low-key stuff if I do. No more expensive marathons with months of preparations and then the frustration of not getting round - again!
I'm also sprinkling in other things with work on the mat for core strength, cycling and walking. Hopefully I will keep it up.
What: about 35 mins on hometrainer and mat / 5k "recovery" (involves a hill in the first km) Why: start off the week Last hard: doing the core work with the cat insistent on sharing the mat or lying on my stomach Last rest: yesterday
