Friday on my Mind

Tamster · Feb 4, 2011

trivia - "Friday on my Mind" - who wrote it?
 
unscheduled rest day for me. Wasn't feeling great last night, did get some decent sleep and I feel better, although still not 100%. And I want to run 15 miles tomorrow, so will rest up so that it's an enjoyable 'feel good' 15 miles.
 
and it's the last weekend of football. <img alt="icon_pale.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_pale.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"> Probably not soon enough for some people, but we are a football family and love watching the games on the weekends. But my ever-so-loving-football-fanatic-son, dvr'd all 44 superbowl's last weekend. Fortunately, they are only 30 minute segments showing the highlights of each game. so he can get his football fix whenever he wants.
 
what's on your mind this Friday?

Bet you won't! I googled and thought "Huh?"
....and I won't spoil the fun for those who come later.
 
Hope you're feeling better, Tamster.
 
Unscheduled rest day for me, too. Was going to do an easy gym core/ab/hip workout some time today in prep for a massage after work, but it's been one thing and another all day, with a 2 hr meeting starting in 30 minutes, so it's not gonna happen.
 
DH just called me to say that his sciatic problem flared badly this morning and he couldn't drive to his RMT appointment. Guess I'll be paying for the last minute cancellation when I get there. Sigh. Just when it looked like he was making progress. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

Hello Crunchie Friday
 
Easy day for me today as I went swimming and just ran 4 miles.
 
I got some bad news and some good news in the last few days.
 
The bad news is work related and is another career blow but not career ending. The good news is far better.
 
I have been selected to run in the Celtic Plate 100km for Wales.(We compete again Scotland,England and Ireland) I am surprised and a little under prepared but this is my country calling. I guess if it goes well I will consider the worlds as well.
 
Happy days

....YAY gobi//.........Up The Welsh!!!!!!!!
 
ALBA GE BRAUGH/////

Life is a mixed blessing, right, Gobi? You will make Wales proud!
 
More snow is on my mind. Tammy, I'm usually good at trivia but I have no idea. Could you please strike my race off the calendar? I hadn't signed up yet, and it will be a mess at best.

Tamster · Feb 4, 2011

it's struck, Opie. sorry you have such a mess down there.
 
I would never know this music trivia either. I bet Ribs would know it though. He seems to have an endless capacity for trivia.

I know David Bowie did it, but I'm pretty sure it was a cover. I think it was originally done by one of the British Invasion pop groups of the mid-60's, but I couldn't tell you which one since they all sounded the same to me. Except for the Kinks, and I know it wasn't them.
 
I saw Econo yesterday. It was good to give her a real hug instead of a virtual one. We've made plans to run the Couples Classic 5K again as a team on Feb 19th. It will be good for both of us.
 
gobi, you're Welsh! I did not know that, but it does explain why you are so tough. Henry V could never have beaten the French at Agincourt without his soldiers from Wales. Still one of the greatest upsets in history.
 
I'm fairly sleep deprived from getting home late last night and getting up at my normal 0dark:00. I'll RAW, but not sure what.

I did an easy run on the treadmill but still beat the amount of miles I did my last easy run. I was right on the pace I was shooting for and glad I didn't have to run in the snowy weather. The sun was glaring off the mirrors like diamonds and my legs were so sproinky, I felt like a young guy today. 
 
7.4 miles 60:00 3% incline 1,165 elevation gain

Labduck · Feb 5, 2011

Sproinky is always good Rip, especially on TM. 
I ended up doing five miles, w/ four 1/2 mile Fartleks at 5K pace thrown in just to see what would happen. It did not kill me, so that's always good.

I ran a double today:
93 minutes AM
45 minutes PM
