Good morning and seasons greetings!!
Birk - hope you feel better soon & madame O - glad it went well. Sane is always a good selling point
Made it to the club last night where the Hampshire micro climate was doing its thing.
6 or so miles on solid compacted snow in the freezing fields. 6 miles away at home it was all clear.
In an x-files moment, the watch stopped at 45mins 45.45 secs....
Today - maybe 2 or 3 miles but legs jaded after trying to stay with my usual peer group!
Have a super Christmas and enjoy the holiday season!

Thanks for the save Dustin - I was all set with the Pogues this morning! Spooky timing last night.

Last rest: 22.12 (forced on me by the gym closing early)
Lyrics: No
Morning,
DD - yes, but the beauty of it is that he's a runner too
Good to see you back in action Birkmyre.
Hellboy is a comic about a paranormal investigator who just happens to be a big, red demon - was made into a film starring Ron Pearlman:
And this is my little figure. The picture isn't very good but the detail on it is incredible (he's only 2 inches high).
Off to London in a few hours to see my family... but first:
What: 7 miles slow
Why: I have a VLM place to train for!
Last hard: Resisting yet another dress in the sale yesterday. I failed.
Last rest: Wednesday
Lyrics: No
Birk: good to see you back running. Stomach bugs do have their advantages if you want to lose weight
Got my Yaktrax early from Santa . Tried them out today but they seem pretty useless in deep snow. We have about 12 inches now with 25 inch snow drifts in places. Had to ditch my offroad attempt because of that. So here goes
What: 12 boring miles round and round our estate
Why: too much snow everywhere
Last hard: that interrupted offroad attempt
Last rest: Weds
Lyrics: no
Well done on the VLM place MadameO
What 11.25m very icy run
Why - Building it all up
Last Hard - Hitting the ice at 5k today and sliding down a hill
Last Rest - at the bottom of the hill.....
Thigh and Quad sore and no doubt a big bruise wil appear...
Signed off from the Physio today, am allowed to load as much as I can on the achilles now.....
Take care and for those not posting tomorow, Happy Christmas
MadameO: Ok then he is not sane either! Good luck with the VLM place.
USB: Pretty snowy in Devon at the moment, I'm near Tiverton about 12" of snow on the ground. Roads are fine though
This mornings run was tough in loose snow, ice ruts, packed snow etc.
Just been to the pub for lunch, all is well
Hi all
Birkmyre - glad you have had a run!
Madame O - congrats on the VLM - 3:15 this time?
What - 60 min nice and easy
Why - trained twice resterday - so recovering today
Have a great evening everyone and Happy Christmas
Hellboy is kinda cute, in a demonic kind of way...
What - 6mile hike around the moors. Snow at least 2ft deep on top, but frozen solid. Made for an interesting walk...
Why - Spend some time with Mr.Berry now he's finished work for Chrimbo!
Last hard- my poor bum from Wednesday...
Last rest- earlier this month.
Bah humbug and whatever.
8 miles d& d on TM.
Will go for a few miles outside somewhere tomorrow in spikes. I have to get out, snow or not!!!!.
Hey LMH - you should have got him the update for xmas.
Mad O - did he get you a christmas present??? - nice one on VLM - get training!!
Good to see you out Birks.
If i dont get in later happy christmas to all.
Morning folks.
Very nice MO. I love all the comic book type stuff! For some reason though, Ron Perlman in Hellboy makeup reminds me of Ted Danson (Cheers) for some reason I can't quite put a finger on........
Simon - I've got a few cold related cracks on mine too - I'm not very good at remembering to wear gloves!
birkmyre - hope you've got that appetite back for tomorrow
Binned yesterday evening's planned 30-60mins of easy xtrainer as I was tired after running around shops sorting out last minute things (Tesco Direct messed up on something; but with a bit of good karma the store had a better deal! )).As I had done ~5:40 of cardio in the previous 3.5 days that was both perfectly alright and a pleasing start back to better training volumes.
What: rest day (same tomorrow).
Why: Jr #1's b'day (Christmas).
Sitting down shortly to a traditional(ish) Czech Christmas meal ahead of the main event tomorrow. Should provide a bit of winter insulation
Probably won't get on tomorrow, so Happy Christmas to all
Shopping d&d
I might bike
Why: indeed
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Monday
Lyrics: nope
Laters
evening
Lyrics no
Hellboy yes
bit of core this morn but cat stopped play - you try doing crunches with a cat pinned to you by its claws.
tomorrow is Christmas.
Birkmyre, glad you're back running again
DD - you seem to have adjusted remarkably well to the sudden change in climate
Madame O, Congrats on the VLM and the new dress
RFJ - have fun with all that achilles loading
USB - hope the monster in law gives you some space!
What? 8 miles steady
Why? because I can
Last hard? the last 6 days of no running
Last rest? as above
Lyrics? no
Have a lovely Christmas everyone
Evening,
Thanks for the VLM congrats... yep, time to get training! 41 - I would sell my soul for a sub-3:15. Unfortunately I remortgaged it last year for a pair of awesome boots
Paddy, it was the first time we'd met so not really at the present giving stage... hoping there will be a next time though (date I mean, not Christmas... well you never know, but waaay too soon to be thinking about that just yet!!).
At my dad's now, munching my way through the contents of his fridge which are way tastier than mine. No doubt I'll post tomorrow but for anyone who doesn't, have a wonderful Christmas!
Edited to add happy birthday to ZaTTu Jnr too
