Morning

Todays lyrics:With a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene

What:5M Steady in pouring rain and it was cold.

Why: I enjoy it.

I see Seb Coe is bringing out another Autobiography in early November.

Need to catch up again.

Morning.

Great to see you Stickless - I've been thinking of you quite a lot and hoping that it wasn't the PD stopping you running that was keeping you away.

What:              long drive, long day
Why:               at a conference in Birmingham
Last hard:        reining myself in yesterday
Last rest:         12/10

Lyrics - no.

morning all,
Stickless, lovely to hear from you again, and its good to have a plan!
what - club night, not sure what the schedule says, but some form of speedwork
why - its Tuesday
last rest - friday
last hard - saturday
no from me on the words...

Morning

Currently nursing an almighty cold/chest infection/bout of man flu!

Naturally being a man i genuinely feel like i'm on my death bed.

Managed to do half hour on the bike yesterday follwed by some leg resistance work so throw in the fact i'm walking like John Wayne today and i'm quite a picture!

What: Rest
Why: ILLNESS (can you tell i'm angry?)
Last hard: Last Thursdays spin/swim
Last rest: Sunday

Lyrics: Yes

What: Nothing.
Why: Didn't make it to the gym this morning, for no good reason.
Last hard: Yesterday's run from the Asics store was about 5km. I went with intermediate but they set off so fast I ended up straggling behind, but quite a way ahead of 'beginners'. There's not much lighting around Hyde Park so it was slightly miraculous we all managed to meet up at the end.
Last rest: Thursday/today.

Hi Stickless. Oh dear onepaceracer, lemsip, orange juice etc etc. Lyrics no.

Morning!

Good to hear from you Stickless: keep posting!

What: nowt! Trying not to think about when I might be able to do something! Op tomorrow! Not a moment too soon!

Lyrics: nope

Morning!

First time on these threads. Forgive me if I don't "get it".

What? Club night.

Why? First marathon around the corner.

Last hard:  Saturday's 17 miler

Last rest: Sunday.

Lyrics: Say it loud, Say it clear. You can listen as well as you hear.

stickless: how great to hear from you! Like LMH I was quite worried about you.

LMH: another confidence-building run - just when you need it. Nice!

OPR: get well soon - 'tis the season for colds.

alehouse: fingers crossed for your op tomorrow

Hiya Run Wales. The thing with the lyrics is you either say yes or no but you don't reveal them if you know them and you are not supposed to post another song's lyrics either . Which marathon are you doing and what's your target? We are all very very nosey and love stats

what: 6.5 miles easy
why: settling back into a running routine
last hard: 7/10
last rest: yesterday
lyrics: yes

Welcome RW, which mara u up for?

stickless lovely to see you posting, the camino sounds pretty amazing.

opr, wish you better, man flu is tough so I am told....

lyrics no...

What: club sociable run later to give out club cards at the local tube station

why: recruitment, duty  anda run all in one!

last hard: saturday's 5 mile xctry

last easy: yesterdays duvet day

What: Maybe run this afternoon
why: half day and nothing else planned or pressing
last hard: kayaking on Sunday.
Last rest: yesterday
lyrics: no, as usual.

RW Croeso!
Where's your marathon?

alehouse: but all goes well tomorrow

OPR   annoying when Illness gets in the way isn't it

Chickadee Good that you are getting back into it

thanks for the welcome.  So for lyrics, I should have said "nope" as i've no idea where the lyrics in the OP came from.

Doing Preston Guild Marathon on 28th. My first. Never raced more than 10 miles before. Target is a moving feast. Keeps fluctuating between an over-ambitious sub-4....  to a more realistic four-and-a-half.   Have struggled to do long runs at 4hr 30min pace...  but did an 18 miler on Saturday at 9:22/min (and that included 4 stationary minutes eating a Snickers and drinking water - subtract that and I can argue for a 3:59 race)... so now I'm getting over-optimistic again!

Good luck for your 1st RW

A sunny afternoon so no excuse not to get out - 10 miles done which I enjoyed - 1st medium run since marathon

Alehouse That should have read "hope all goes well tomorrow"
(still playing with Dragon Naturally Speaking at work )

Alehouse - what time do you have to go in?

OPR - just rest up if you feel that bad - it will pass more quickly.

Welcome RW - it's your first marathon, it will be a PB! The first 13 miles should feel too easy, the next 7 as though you're working a little and then you throw everything you have left at it. Much better to finish feeling strong and keen to beat your time in your next marathon than to haul yourself over the line hating it.

OH - that's a good run. Sounds as though the mojo has returned.

chickadeee - what's next for you?

A day shut inside meant I really fancied a run after driving home but I resisted, don't want to leave my race on the trails this week.

Good to hear from you Stickless and welcome to Run Wales

Was not around yesterday but thanks for all the comments regarding my PB, Sorry TR that I did not recognise you, I was in a world of my own on Sunday morning.

Rest day here

Take care

one of my fav songs, second tune on my running playlist

just got back from a steady 4 miler

maybe should also say my first time on the lyrics thread, often look/lurk, but todays the first time i've known the answer!!

I seldom know the answer Adam - don't let it stop you from joining in!

Evening!

Welcome to the newcomers! Adam:  what LMH says. Run Wales:  if I am right you have done a bit of running in a previous life!

Tom:  where are you? Hopefully we have upset you and you are in a mood: I trust it is nothing worse!

LMH:  a neighbour is giving me a life to Chester at 7.20 and then I will do a bit of shopping before catching a train and bus to arrive for 11.30. Trying to make it into a little adventure!

Croeso RunWales and Adam get a proper name Richardson the sixth. (wink)

Nope to the lyrics.

Frustrated with my work schedule, but even more frustrated with what is promising to be a pulled mini-muscle or stringy bit (ligament?) at the top end of me bum. Clearly I've done a bit too much too quickly. Annoyed. But I've not been getting out regularly enough and swimming clearly doesn't count.
