18 over the weekend, then Sunday off, went to watch Mrs Lemmy do final South Essex XC of the season... They gave the runners a 25 years anniversary medal... Nice...

6 run home last night, the 12 run home tonight (MP. 8 LOL, most probably 8:30!) then speedwork Thursday, 6 run home Friday, run Director at Valentines parkrun Saturday and Tunbridge Wells Half Sunday...

Have a good week all...

Great Bentley half at a trot last Sunday.... FLAT AS A...

Pancake day Tuesday, tried American style ones (added tsp baking powder & some sugar), will stick to English Pancakes in future, Delia's recipe...

6 Tuesday, 10 last night (plus tripped & bruised my ego!) and a nice romantic speed session with Mrs lemmy tonight...

18 and 6 over the weekend... Keep safe & keep up your exercises T Rex...

Let us know how you get on JD...

K - Join them... It'll improve your running and the cammeraderraderraderraderie  will be great... Know a few to grunt at during races... Essex 20 is £12... Plus nice tech t-shirt... AND CAKE!!!

Laudy... Don't want to argue, but most parkruns are friendly AFTER the run... everyone has race-face on beforehand!!! (though it's not a race, it's a run... ) Never get down to S.Wales, closest is in-laws in Gloucester...

8 miles tonight, start ramping up my mid-week tempo runs to marathon pace for VLM... aiming for 8min miles at the moment, see how training goes then may up it to 7:30/7:15... 7 is just too fast at the moment...

Jenf, Laudy - What parkrun's you do... My "home" is Valentines, Ilford. I'm a RD (run director - it's not a race, apparently!) but only RD'd once...

Kandinsky - Halstead is FAB - PB'd last May... Mrs Lemmy is doing it this year... Have fun in Brentwood... If you can stand it Orion 15 in Epping forest the day before is great training and Brentwood will be a doddle (LOL!!) Don't forget Essex 20 in a month, exactly like Halstead lots of flats with occasional hills... Are you in a local club?

Had a great running weekend, 16 around the parks of Ilford & Barking, including Valentine's parkrun... Raced the last half (1.5 miles) so on the run home I was properly pooped and slowed right down... It is Long SLOW Run for me at least... Mrs Lemmy went of to Hainault Forest for her 16...

Sunday did a local 5 recovery run then took Mrs Lemmy to South Essex XC in South Weald park Brentwood (banned from remaining XC this year due to me wankles... weak ankles)... Found a great place to watch the runners powering up a hill... Mrs Lemmy loves the mucky stuff... There was an Artisan bakery stand in the park & my two dogs both dived over and had a lick of the front row of the cakes & bread... I had no money... Ooops...

Club reps last night, 4x10mins with 2min rests... rep pace: 07:02, 07:13, 07:24, 07:35... They said do 10k pace and I did: started off too fast and slowed down...

Jason d, you've got nothing to worry about here...

Monthly mileage of 87 miles, which is the longest since September when I was training for SNOD12... A third of Brer's and a fifth of Jason's... I'm please with this due to 2 sprained ankles in December and no mid week running in October & November due to ITB issues (I'd pulled an adductor...)... So now back on track, just seem to have a dodgy ankle and pf... heels sting a bit before I stretch out or walk a bit...

16 tomorrow, to, from and including Valentines parkrun, then 6 on Sunday before going to XC to support Mrs Lemmy...

Have a good weekend everyone...
