Re: Name that tune
Well, based on Paul's clues I figured it out, but I don't think I should get the win. I looked up the Wikipedia article about music in 1961 and scrolled through the "Top Hits on Record" looking for a band I had not heard of with a song title that sounded like it might contain the lyrics. T...

Another month in the hole. What's up next? A 10k for the IRL and a 5,142 for the CTC?
Should be a good month for me!
I hope.

I took the draconian step of stopping drinking any alcohol on Saturday February 18th and so far it seems to be working :shock: Alan, did you make that decision on Feb 18th or was the decision to not drink alcohol (only) on that particular day? :D If it's the latter one I'm very impressed by the res...

I am impressed with how close your reps were considering the rest periods were so short and this was an 'all out' attempt!

Thanks Alan and Peter! Yes, Alan, I love the L4s too; they are almost meditative. My elbow seems completely healed, but I'm still cautious about pushing too hard. Today was an upper body weights session. Tomorrow will be lower body weights in the morning and then an L2 (4 x 2k) in the evening. (If I...

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan
Thanks Alan! My first L4 since early last year. Don't really know where I stand. My recent 2k was 2:03, but I think it should be closer to 2:00. So that's what I used as a reference pace. Even so, it felt too easy, so I concentrated on hard, even pulls at the assigned stroke rate and let the pace fa...
