Sunday 22nd January 2012

Morning

Sorry been Awol a few days, work been busy but continued daily running a few cycle rides with extended commutes, though then not that far really got my entry for Serpies next Friday My first race since Feb 16th last year if you could call that a race before that it was Oct 3rd 2010 so it will be fun

What: 2 mile cycle d&d unextended commute, run later
Why: i am what i am and a runner i am (not a clue to lyrics)
Last Hard: Probably last Sunday
Lyrics: Yes

Good luck to all racers, LMH hope you have a good one as all of you

Thanks Pammie - it's going to be a windy one!

What:                      Brass Monkey Half Marathon
Why:                        annual attempt at a PB
Last hard:              being unable to predict my niggles or the weather!
Last rest:                21/1

Lyrics - yes.

Evening

LMH Well done that  is impressive new pb but quite a chunk take care of that QL (i'm sure you will)

Stickless Hello

Planned around 4 miles as last few nights catching up on sleep woke at 1pm but prob pay for that tonight and won't get to sleep till prob about 2am. But had good sleep and decided on something longer 7.42 miles a few hills first 4 10:15-10:32 pace which is getting to be my normal pace

Last 3.42 quicker how i don't know  doubting Garmin but i've been told to believe i got a 8:55 pace, 9:41, 10:06 last bit 8:46 though some were downhill  

Thank you.

Good running Pammie. QL isn't a problem normally thankfully but the left hamstring might be - next sports massage booked for the 6th Feb (soonest I could get in) so will have to look after it myself until then. Out for a celebratory Indian this evening - trying to decide what I can wear that I can have my compression tights on under!

Paddy - I'd like to think so as conditions were far from ideal but I truly believe that you never know what you're going to get until the day.

Stickless - I've just been finishing off some work too - part time and self employed aren't really good with my work ethic, hate having things outstanding and hanging over me - especially week to week.

Evening!

Well done LMH and Gobi: makes my little effort insignificant in comparison!

What: 3 miles brisk walk
Why: allowed

Lyrics: nope

Pammie: I have done Last Friday of Month twice, and really enjoyed it (afterwards, anyway!).

Lyrics - think so

Gobi - well done hope you learn and take the positive of the bits that were not good.

Me - in the wars.... No fitness to report of anykind here, quite the opposite, had the Op on Thurs, discharged on Fri, 4 hours in A&E on Sat then re-admitted and released again late today... not a happy teddy.... had my own mara of docs trying to insert cathahers (6 attempts and very sore) TMI I know...., any chance of getting into the gym next wek has gone as now sporting additional pipework for 2 weeks at least.... so a good long rest..... only means I can come back stronger all being well.....

Evening

RFJ - Oh dear take care now

alehouse i've just looked i've done 34 interesting set of stats

Met Gobi 4 times today. Yadder yadder yadder. You could hear him from a mile away, upwind. Well done on the Comrades time, did you get the lawnmower? When I last saw you he'd taken the place back but had a serious face on. I thought you'd get the place back.

I was on my bike today: not doing any running now. 20 something miles cycled. Nice buzz in the legs.

Saw Plodding Hippo too. She's got her 200th marathon this year. That's silly.

Blisters Surely not He's such a quiet lad

Alehouse Yup First one in March 2004 Started doing them regular from December 2006 Working nights made it easier to do them regularly. My last one was in Sept 2010

Hope to be there for Feb as well be good to say Hi if your thee  we tend to have lunch in the cafe afterwards as well
