6 miles this morning. Can’t say I particularly enjoyed it - breathing laboured but I think because of hay fever. I hope I’m not additionally coming down with something, although RHR is okay, but I’ll keep an eye on that.

Big G - hope that just the hay fever was responsible especially as you had a bad night.
WP - well done, cheese on toast last night?
I'm hoping we'll get some rain soon our verges and parks are burnt yellow.
I forgot to say earlier, my rant about the Invincibles distracted me, seagull went for me when I was running past B & Q this morning. So looks like that vicious bird is back again. I ran past earlier just had a bit of clicking at me, no more.
Coming home there was more traffic and I had to stop to wait for a gap in the traffic. I hadn't noticed the gull at all as I was concentrating on the traffic. When the traffic cleared he swooped but I thwarted his attack by crossing the road, he swerved to come after me but a van came along and he had to give up.

WP - good to hear the cheese on toast is still working for you.
No, haven't bought any eyes 👀 yet. Will wait and see if I become a serious target 😱

I love my invincibles, I actually prefer them for long runs,once I get moving in them I find the foam really protects the legs. Usual 7 after work,looked good when I went out,2 miles in it was torrential,had to hide under a tree for a few minutes,then just light or no rain for the rest.

Shades well done on outsmarting the seagull.
WP I’m a big fan of a cheese toastie, although go through stages of having loads then forgetting we have a sandwich toaster.
Big G sounds like your old man is digging his heels in! Even if your dad isn’t doing the exercises the physio wouldn’t be surprised, I reckon 95% of their clients/ patients don’t.
Rcouture great mileage and hopefully you can shift the niggles. Sounds like you have a good employer and network around you. Great you’ve convinced the babysitter to become a nanny.
Weekend events have taken their toll, it of a sore throat for a few days. Felt a bit of a struggle today’s run. Curtailed at 4 miles.

Ian - have you tried the Novablasts? I think you'd like them too for training.
Still no rain down here 😞
Rob - I may have outsmarted that seagull yesterday but I suspect he'll have another go at me, I run that way once or twice a week.
Hope you're feeling better for this weekend's marathon.
5 miles today, nice morning, feeling fresher. Legs still a bit gym tired, I'll need to ease up on the leg sessions as I need to focus on my running for now, 5 weeks to IOM.
Even though I'd seen on the news that Cav had won yesterday's TdeF stage, I was still on my feet screaming at the telly when I watched the highlights programme.
