Gobi - you're supposed to be taking it easy! :0)

Veliproactive person - so sorry to hear about your pussy cat. I've been such a miserable cow I've only now skim read back. Hope you are ok. We have a great big fat ginger thing that meows all the time cause he is a greedy hog and likes his belly to drag on the floor. He thinks he is Garfield. So we try to resist feeding him too much, so he then goes next door as they lost their cat and never got shot of the cat flap. I hear him in there meowing away and then a little chat about a nice bit of ham and all is quiet once more. He is such a so and so!

Mary once had a little lamb... but we won't go there if anyone knows the more - err - interesting ryhmes? :0)

Trinni - Life of Brian - biggus dickus and ''are there any women at this stoning? Love it and remember ''always look on teh bright side of life! :0)

so

Right must go off to gymbo as feeling mischievious so must sign off and behave!

What: 15 miles
Why: Scheduled
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Rest: Monday

Went out this morning for my usual run and it didn't go that well to be honest. Found it fairtly hard compared to normal to breath properly and had to stop and walk a few times during the run. Made it home eventually some 10-11 minutes slower than normal, so around 2h5 instead of 1h54.

no idea why this happened. Didn't feel any worse than usual, pace wasn't overly bad - perhaps a bit warmed though it didn't see like it, or I'm coming down with something.

Then to cap it all, got within 1/2 mile of my house (well 50m but I do a circuit of my area that is 1/2 a mile) and managed to hit a steel gatepost with my arm and it bloody hurts (still). Even forced me to stop running at the time and walk for a bit, but not being one to let pain get in the way, ran the rest of the route.

Night Nurse - looking good!

MoL - congrats on the marathon PB - good luck for London.

Sounds like you've got a busy weekend lined up RFJ.

What: Was going to do 3 x 800 but once I got going turned it into 1 mile TT - 6.53 on my downhill/uphill road mile.
Husband's 60th birthday - very nice day.

Good luck with all the racing this weekend. We're pretty busy too, with son's friend and family arriving to have a tour of Auckland and surrounds. Hope my cooking skills are up to scratch tonight and I don't burn the place down - Scooby! Shame it's Good Friday and nothing is open!!

Scott S: I bet that sleep willfix the lethrgy. It happens. Well done on grinding out the miles. Thise are the runs that make the real difference to the training.

BR: Worried about maintaining perfect pace, or worried about going anaerobic?

MOL: Too darned right I will make a point of seeing you on Friday at Expo. I'll be arriving about lunchtime though. Congrats on the PB. You've been quiet for a while.

Daily laugh? My vote goes to Stellina for the stage whisper on the lyrics. Or maybe Trini who still didn't get them after being told!

Me: I had a great sleep last night, and instead of driving 1.5 hours to work I got a job that was 1.5 miles from home. Considering the mayhem out there tonight, I'm lucky. Run tonight. Busy tomorrow, very busy.

Next race: Saturday, afternoon 10k.

Happy Birthday to hubby NZC. :0)

Blisters - best of luck for Saturday.

Scott - well done on continuing, the next one will be better. Hope your arm is ok? Ouch!

RFJ - good to see you back running really well too. :0)

NN - glad tapering is going well and you're feeling all springy!

What: one hour elliptical trainer - 11.65k tonight, hill level 10, then weights abductor and adductor and arms and stomach curl ups then lots of stretching, followed by 500m swim.

evening

back again after another hiatus - but the hiatus was due to a good reason (on holiday en famille in Edinburgh Sunday - Wednesday), and so is the "back again"

what: 4.0 miles in 29:10
why: first completely pain-free road mileage since the plantaris rupture 24 days ago

Not quite my first run of any kind - did 10 minutes on the hotel gym treadmill Monday night (which at the time I thought had put me back to square one again), and 15 minutes more easily on Tuesday.

Now, how much mileage can I get in between now and the next Borders League race a week Sunday....?
All seems rosy for now, but...

....with an eye to the long term though, I do need to find a proper physio. Mad Alex has got just a bit too barking, while the apparently reputable one I contacted today to ask for advice/guidance/treatment with regard to my recurring lower-leg injuries on the same side (RHS) just didn't want to know.
If I can't get to the bottom of this, it might simply be the case that I'm starting another interlude of a few days/weeks before the next injury....we shall see.

Is that really Pug posting on the "daily" thread? You going to be a regular here then mate?

Will have a skim thru previous days to see what I've missed now...

Scooby

I did take it easy and only ran hard on the last set.

Gobi

What: 9 miles steady pm
Why: Allowed legs a little easier session
Last hard: Saturday, but the days since then have been made up of consistent running
Last rest: 18 days

MOL, I'll be at the FLM expo on Friday. How do we recognize you ? and well done on the PB
and Blisters, hope to see you, too, on the Friday. Thats about the time I'll be there

Podro, definately a good scheme. In my first incarnation as a marathon runner we used to run our long runs 10ml out and back on the Leeds-Liverpool canal from Leeds. Sometime in the summer, perhaps

MtB Sounds as though you may be training properly now ?

Vrap, glad the kids coped with Fluffy White cat's demise, even if Fluffy Black Cat hasn't; hope you are feling OK about him/her too. Have a great time in Scotland.

Imski, I well remember one Christmas when I was driving down to London from the North York Moors, with a friend, but going to separate Christmases. I hit a pheasant, and stopped rather in shock; my mate then decided it would make a perfect Christmas dinner and her mother, who would have had experience of these things from the wartime, would do whatever one needs to do to dead pheasant. I turned into a gibbering wreck and flatly refused to have it in my car. I don't think she has ever forgiven me :-)

and a tale for Scooby. Tigger's predecessor, Frisby did much the same as your ginger cat. He could get into my neighbours garden, and then, from time to time into her house. I could hear that he regularly barked in one particular place in her back room, which I eventually found out was where she kept the biscuit tin.

NN, I'm now really looking forward to that springy feeling once I started tapering next week

What: 9ml inc 3x1ml @ marathon pace
Why: 4 more days till tapering time
But maybe I'm beginning to feel I can cope with the miles, though doesn't look like I'll quite hit 100 this week
