Saturday 16th July
Jogged up to the Park with RQ (3.5 miles). Met Metamorphosis up at the start and did a 1.5 mile warm up
before getting in at the front of wave 2 with Raycun. The plan for the race was just a tempo run. I wanted to hold the planned pace for the 10mile race to see how it felt (33'55). I had expected to see chinguetti, gerard and a few others at the front of wave 2. As soon as the race was of I soon understood why they changed their minds
after half a mile we hit a group of about 16 women hand in hand across the entire road. I managed to spy a gap but a few minutes later hit a mas of humanity and spent the entire run dodging everyone and looking for gaps. Still the race went fine and I managed to hit 33.57 on the garmin. I left myself a bit too much to do on the Kyber (I had to hi about 6.57 to win my bet) and I had to stop breifly to let some of my breakfast up 
Drinking a bottle of wine the night before probably didn't help. Anyways 5 miles in 33'57 (6'46 pace).
I did a 1.7 mile cooldown after the race with Brian and Ral 3 so 11.7 miles total for the day
Sunday
The plan said 18, but I had as many pints as miles yesterday so it was always unlikely. despite the group run being postponed to 12, I was still in ribbons. Met up with JCSmum Aimman, Chinguetti and Brian. I was happy to call it a day when the others quit after doing a recce of the 10 mile course.
10.3 miles @ 9'17 pace
I'll try to get my 18 done tomorrow.

After yesterdays crap run I was a bit worried about todays session. The warm up seemed to confirm those fears. 5.1 miles @ 8'49. Hip and left knee felt sore. HR was also too high for this pace (143). I was basically making excuses not to do the PMP part....anyways had a sip of water, took a gel and changed in the Kinavaras (hoping to wear thes in Berlin) and hit off on my PMP miles.
The first two felt crappy but I dug in and after 4 or so I felt like I was cruising. Finished out the session with no real difficulty. 10 miles in 72 minutes (7'11 Pace). The Av HR (163) is still about 8pm higher than what i would want ti to be in Berlin, but it is 3 bpm lower overall than the 8 PMP I did two weeks ago and significantly the last two miles of today were in line with the total average (161 and 163) as opposed to the last day were the last two miles were a struggle and I was maxing out (both were 170 bpm I think). So over all a great session.
I stopped for a quick stretch then slowly jogged back to the car. 1.7 miles @ 8'37 pace. Much faster than it felt
Total for the day 16.8 miles. Nice to get the Bulk of this weeks training done so early in the week. The Joys of not having to work!!
