Donnie Berlin is wonderful, you booked?
I was out in my shorts this morning, there is a strange thing in the sky, last seen in Vietnam. Run, followed by a nine mile walk and PT session.

JackFW... Looks like a great running location!! Just about to pass 500'! Great!
TT... Well done on passing 200' plus the walking!!!
My 'split runs' are usually done for a reason; testing different shoes, time constraints, bulking the weekly distance, picking the best of the weather, and so on. They don't take the place of a single, long run, but can help with building towards longer runs. The only negatives that I can think of are; the shower-time/ stretch-time are doubled, and possibly the laundry!
Should have rested today, after two consec. days, but I was feeling good, and the weather was fine, so went out for another 7 miles! Shouldn't have trusted the 'feelings'; seemed like I was running on empty after a couple of miles!
YTD: 0592' .
MrM2, maybe a day off will refresh the batteries. Impressive miles from you as per usual.
A 23.5km run today Trento to Rovereto, running along the river through the valley and mostly in the rain. Caught the train back and gave everyone as much of a wide berth as possible given the state of my running jacket and top. My last Italian run.
YTD - 513 miles.
DR I find it interesting that you run much further outside!
MrMr2 I think I am going to see about the split runs. Thinking of doing one in the morning, then one before or after a gym session. Let's see how it goes.
The sun is out, we are just rejoicing in that news!!!!!!!!!

Great running from everyone good to see.
A bit of a down week for me with just two 6 mile runs although the one this morning had 20 mins of top end speed intervals.
Cal the lactate test involved a prick of the ear every 3 mins.
The purpose of the test I suppose was to find out my training paces with the intention of improving my lactate tolerance so holding faster paces without going beyond the lactate turnpoint.
Interestingly turned out I haven’t been running tempo/threshold runs as hard as I should be able to 😐
YTD 496 miles.
TT: amazing amount of walking. We were talking about the Yorkshire three peaks at work yesterday. Have you done that one?
Mr MM and DR: great miles. Keep going.
Harmander: last seen somewhere near the Cutty Sark? Seriously, hope everything is ok.
4 runs this week - 4,2 (TM), 7.2 (in an hour), 4.1 (TM) and 7.1 (in a bit more than an hour)

DR, congrats on the 500 milestone. MrC is not far away, I see.
MrC... almost over the 500mile line.
Dubai... Nicely over the 500 miles!
Have had a few knee-twinges this week, when walking upstairs, but it doesn't happen while I'm running. Not sure what has brought it on but I have a bit of history with that knee. I can remember running the Rotterdam marathon wearing a knee support, more than 20 years ago. Not sure which year it was but I ran the 2001 (in 3h55m) and the 2003 (in 3h58m).
Had a couple of rest days before running 8 miles yesterday. That took my week to 30 miles, and my year total to 600. It has been an extra busy week; family joining us from Liverpool, Bristol, Surrey and Zurich, to mark my 80th. Also looking at WAVs (wheelchair accessible vehicles) to benefit MrsM who is really struggling these days.
Enjoy the holiday week-end.
YTD:... 0600' .
Jack, not any more - all our stats got deleted (including most events).
Lovely scenery.
Had a rubbish 3 miler midweek and then went to the new Wakehurst parkrun (a botanical gardens in Sussex) on Saturday. Beautiful parkrun with lots of flowering trees, but some steep inclines so found it a bit tough. Hip wasn't great.
YTD: 220
Alehouse, how’s the recovery?
I, also, have run along the prom in Nice. 1975 when I was camping nearby. Two of us ran at midday in August when it was roasting degrees. The other two were supposed to pick us up during the run but couldn't see us...so got some bottles of beer and went on the beach! We were not happy when we eventually found them...
DR and Alehouse, I had a couple of beers at one of the beachside bars last night. It was very civilised and enjoyable, and I followed it up with another run today - a touch over 11km but headed in the opposite direction which took me up a big hill towards Villafranche Sur Mer. It was tough going - climbing is not my forte - but there was a rewarding view of the next cape. I had a dip in the water afterwards which was a bit chilly but refreshing nonetheless. Next stop is the in-laws holiday house in Provence. Perhaps some running along vineyards?
YTD - 526 miles.
DR our TM was the best £1.5 we spent in lockdown! With the weather as it is up here it means we always know we can do something. well done on the 500.
Jack love Nice, spent a lot of my very mis-spent youth in the South of France!
MrMr2 Happy Birthday!!!!!! Well done on the 600 miles as well, hopefully the car searching goes well.
Cal there are tests a decent physio would know and can do, then, yes, unfortunately it is an MRI to confirm.
Alehouse wonderful to hear from you, sounds as if progress is being made.
Run this morning, sandwiched between a 21 mile walk yesterday, and a 15 mile walk this afternoon. Finding some amazing places to walk, and the bus service round here is much better than I ever thought.
YTDR: 227.66
YTDW: 922.44
No more running from me and I've cancelled tomorrow's race. Too muddy to risk slipping with this hip.
Dubai... Thanks. We had a very good time with family. Very sober but not subdued!
JackFW... Thanks. You've certainly found some great running locations!
TT... Thanks. I hope to be testing out a vehicle next week.
Cal... Thanks. Wakehurst sounds like a great running location! Yes...I hope I've got some more running ahead of me; I've just ordered two pairs of trainers. (Nothing experimental; just a couple of repeats of Cumulus and Wave Riders.)
Another couple of rest days before today's 8 mile run. But seem to have got into a bit of a rut with fading cadence and pace in second half of run. Perhaps the new shoes will come to my rescue? or perhaps I just need to start back at square one and re-build, slowly?
YTD: 0608' .
In other news, going to the docs tomorrow. Hoping they can refer me for a scan.
Hope you can get some sort of answer to whatever it is that has bugged you for so long.
You seem to be clocking up some good miles on the bike. Do you enjoy that? or is it 'just' energy burning?
Another slow run today, in superb weather! Just 7 miles. I had hoped to do 8 miles but had been flogging a dead horse for at least two miles, so cut my losses.
(That sort of experience has only been with me over the last three years. Put it down to age? Or is there a Covid link? Or the fact that we moved house three years ago and my caring-workload has built up steadily over that period? And I haven't mentioned Sciatica, etc.... )
YTD: 0615' .
Cal hopefully the appointment will lead to a step forward.
Quick run this morning, Beverley 10km on Sunday, hoping for under an hour!
YTD: 233.70
Jack: happy holidays. Sounds fab. You asked if I'd recovered fitness after the Jan & Feb lay off. I'd say yes, but would like a race, ideally a HM to test myself. My longest run of the calender year is 7.2 so need to up those.
TT: enjoy Beverley. I'm thinking about walkington 10k but the Friday night puts me off.
5.0 on the road, 3.2 x 2 on the treadmill.
Ytd: 275.5

Cal how was the GP?
Harmander anywhere???
Out for a short run this morning, sun is still shining, shorts still out.
