Took 3 days off because I needed them. Came back with this nice run. Was feeling it a bit in the last Km or so but persevered.

In other news, the pains I’ve been suffering in my right leg have been ascribed to arthritis in my right hip. I’ve been advised by the quack to take up cycling or swimming instead. My physio, who knows me a bit better, was wise enough not to even suggest such a thing.

Another easy paced run. I’m finding it a lot easier to just get out and run when I don’t have any more pressure than just trying to enjoy it hanging over me.

I’ve knocked the idea of Raheny on the head for this year. First race of the season will be the 5K ran alongside the Meath Spring Half Marathon on 4th March. I’m going to try to do as many of the Meath Race League events as I can, there are 15 in total.

I'm thinking the same- I really enjoyed the 5k in Skryne last August. I trained there every Tues and Thurs night when I was younger and hadn't been over there since. Was lovely going back to it!

Despite the “relative” increase in pace this was still an easy run. My goal is just to get out at least 4, if not 5, times a week; gradually increasing the long run up to a duration of 1:30 hrs. All easy paced runs. Not unduly concerned about distance covered. This is helping me stay motivated. With the complication of the arthritis I just want to be able to train, and race.

The long run for this week done and dusted. I had company for the last 3K and this helped in maintaining the pace right up to the end. By jove it was parky out there. Followed up with an hour of juvenile coaching so the hips were totally bust when I finally got to sit down.

Epic fail. I had foolishly considered last Sunday to be a rest day. However, 4 hours driving and 10.5 hours standing around whilst timing the Leinster Indoors takes a bit out of the legs. Who knew! :rolleyes: So, this was the 7th day in a row, and the legs felt every bit of it. My hip was threatening to lock up as I was finishing the 7th lap so I called a halt and limped back to the car. Physio tonight – she won’t be pleased.

Took 2 days off to give legs/hip time to recover. Felt some slight twinges during the 11th lap but nothing as bad as Wednesday’s debacle. I’m exploring/trampling my limits as far as time/distance are. I intend to stick at 1 hour for the shorter runs and at 1:30 for my long run. I’ll let any pace increase justify any increase in distance.

I’ve been a bit one-dimensional in my runs lately so went out a bit harder on this one just to see how long I could hold on for. As it happens, this is pretty much the pace that I ran the Bohermeen 5 mile last September in so good to see the progress since then.

A not too successful attempt at a LSR. I’m not sure whether it was the fact that it was mid-morning and I hadn’t had breakfast, the niggles from my hip, or just a lack of mental focus, but I finished up after 7 laps. Will try again tomorrow, having changed at least one of the variables.

I’m starting to feel much more comfortable at this pace. It also seems to affect the hip somewhat less. Day off tomorrow, then 4 in a row, rest on Friday, then 2 days on my feet in Nenagh at Leinster Juveniles. Rest again after that, then back into hitting 5 runs a week.
