Morning.

Lyrics - Save some face, you know you've only got one.

I think I may have used the lyrics before - but not this year

Back to work except I guess for our friends north of the border who have another bank holiday - make the most of it guys.

birks - have you shaken that cold yet?

What:                  swim session
Why:                   trying to do at least one a week
Last hard:           last year
Last rest:            last year

Edit (I forgot) yesterday's lyrics were Happy New Year by Abba - not one of their classics!

morning!
lyric - yep
what - steady hour (I hope) at lunchtime along the river if time permits, otherwise it will be around the houses tonight
why - need to build up the mileage
last rest - dec14th
last hard - Sunday

have a good day everyone

Morning all!

Lyrics - yes

What - 4 mile runn after work tonight

Why - Week 2 of training plan for Brighton Marathon

Have a good day everyone

Morning!

Lyrics: no

What: this will be decided later this morning!
Why: seeing physio. No reaction from yesterday's midweek medium long run (1k!)

So, 365 days to get fit for the next age group!

Hope it goes well at the physio Alehouse.

Davey - we seem to share an eclectic taste in music.

What: sorting out appraisal paperwork
Why: Health Centre still closed, on call for maternity and p$$ing down outside
Last Hard: a while ago
Last rest: Monday
Lyrics: no

Sounding optimistic Alehouse

Alehouse good luck and if I read that correctly, Happy Birthday.

OH, yes I'm going through the grind that is the annual appraisal as well. Ours is electronic and it's taking bleeding hours. I'm not even sure if I'm doing it correctly. What is billed as an hour's investment in management time is going to wipe out the entire day. It's also one of those lovely grey days with no significant weather. You never hear that on the forecast.

Afternoon all!

Lyrics - yup!

Signed up for Edinburgh Marathon in May this morning - its about time I had a target!

Managed 10 yesterday in 79:46 but just 3.1 today, with my dog, in 26:45, over hill, muck and dale!

Afternoon!

You did, indeed, read correctly, Blisters. Trying to keep it quiet! Decent present from physio: I can run. Well, not run as we might know it, but another step in the right direction.

Good to see you Donaldo! Any more books?!

Aye, alehouse, I put a sequel out in October but it hasn't sold very well, so I'm accepting that my literary career may be a short and sweet one!

Happy New Year all

Sorry, been a bit AWOL over the past few days. How brilliant to see some familar names back on here, namely M. & donaldo

Happy Birthday, ale and happy running

what: 12 miles d&d before work
why: 'twas raining cats 'n dogs yesterday and I wimped out
last rest: yesterday
last hard: staying sober on New Year's eve (I was driving)
lyrics: no

Many happy returns Ale.
Well managed to get out at lunchtime for a speedy 10k along to Vauxhall and back (42.55) followed by 1.7 miles easier (14.10) recovery. On the upside the (slightly) drizzly weather meant the Embankment wasn't overrun by tourists, on the downside, all the safety barriers from NewYearsEve were still out , but I suspect not where they were originally set up. Needless to say rather than play dodge the tourist, it was more like chicane hell with steel bars...

Afternoon all.

What: day of work in the office for the UK company I work for
Why: rare opportunity!
Lyrics: nope

Managed a 5 miler yesterday morning, despite a 3 am bed time.  Felt quite good apart from a slightly stiff calf.  Rest tomorrow due to work/sleeping on people's floors makes it harder to get out for a run.  May manage one tomorrow though, I'll have to wait and see.

Happy birthday Ale
Some good parkruns over the past few days.
M are you somewhere hot with all this beach running?

Have a good evening.

Happy birthday Alehouse. Must be the day for it Donaldo, ive just signed up for the Chester marathon today.

After an extended absence for no reason I can put my finger on, I've finally got the bug back.           

Lyrics:               No                                                                                     What:                  Out and back, not sure how far but nice and easy Why:                   easing myself back in                                                        Last hard:           too long ago
Last rest:            about the last six months

Happy Birthday Alehouse and what a great present.

Evening

Happy Birthday Alehouse

What 8@8 commute
Why faffed about too much to run further
Lyrics no

Had a suppurb oppertunity to bag 15 into work with a reduced pack weight but ended up missing the start time due to inefficient sandwich construction, should have made them the night before. Hasd another stab at reducing pace a la Gobi style but the 8's were more like 7:45's but still in the right direction.

Will try 7 with hills tomorrow as I have the day off reffereeing the kids.

Blisters We get a lot of  No Significant Weather on here

Alehouse HAPPY BIRTHDAY
(did you say you were keeping it quiet? )
No stopping you now with green light from physio

Happy New Year All

AH: Happy Birthday

What: 2K swim set at lunch, 14 x 400 off 60 second recoveries tonight, all run between 78 - 84 seconds, I was happy with that.
why: Back into it
Last Hard: The last couple of 400's were almost vomit inducing
Last Rest: yesterday

Lyrics: Nah 

Alehouse - happy birthday and a nice present too

AW welcome back

Rest day here

Take care
