Still Running Scared

29-01-2010 12:47am#1Decided to start logging again after a fairly long break. Might help with the motivation.
Starting out s-l-o-w-l-y (in every sense of the word!).....2 miles last night in 21 min 32 s and 1.57 miles tonight in 16 min 20 s. Trying to minimise stiffness by taking it slowly and keeping the milage low initially....
Have a couple of plans to work towards for the next few months but hopefully can keep the motivation up to get that far.
Looking forward to getting back to reading all the logs on here again

Hi rainbow and littlebug
Good to hear from ye, thanks for the posts, every little helps
I'm feeling guilty tonight because I had planned a 3 miler but I'm on a couple of different antibiotics for ear and nose infections and am just going to head to bed early instead. Jigging around hurts my ear. I plan to go out again in tomorrow morning/evening and run 3 miles on Fri instead.
I just got an email about an 8k in Oranmore on Sunday-am a little tempted but its the road I tore my arch on last year...so maybe not.
Was thinking of the Ballybunion half in a couple of months. I think there is a 10k somewhere local the weekend after next if I am around. Will just keep chipping away in the mean time, I expect the times to get back to about 9.45 min miles or better hopefully within the next few weeks.
Find its great to burn off the stress after a frustrating day at work but not tonight. It's good to be back though Must head off now to catch up on yer logs

First long run for me tonight-7 miles, taken slowly.
mile 1 10.24
mile 2 10.30
mile 3 10.45
mile 4 11.12
mile 5 10.43
mile 6 10.50
mile 7 10.59
One short walking break-guess which mile
By the way littlebug, yes it was Achill I did last year, would be nice to improve on my time for the haf marathon this year...by about 25 minutes maybe something flatter will suit! 0 -

hmmm....I googled that and it does look like a nice one, it's a long way to travel for it but then if I want flat....and now we have motorway from Galway to Dublin.....
Was out for a couple of miles of hiking today to keep the stiffness away. Was a beautiful day and took my 5 year old nephew with me so we even had a few little races between us....I must be slow, he is 5 and it was a struggle to keep up 0 -
Night off tonight, kicking back watching the tele.....but curiously have the urge to go out and run. Think I've managed to surpress it with a bag of crisps and some jaffa cakes though
Guess I'm not the only one stuffing my face-judging by the ART Lenten thread :pac: :pac:0 -
Decided to give up Coke as part of the Lent thing more in solidarity with the group than for any religious reasons I think I'll find it ok to give up as long as I don't forget that I'm not supposed to drink it (Two Coke ads have come on tele as I type this 2x2L bottles for 2 euro-how is this possible?)
Went for a run after dinner tonight, 3.01 mile in 30min 11s, was really pushing it to get under 30 min tonight as I was a few seconds under 10 min for the first mile but didn't manage it anyway
Had a few lovely pancakes afterwards with lovely lemon and sugar and some with maple syrup....good fuel for after a run?.....probably not :P
mile 1: 9 min 43 sec
mile 2: 10 min 23 sec
mile 3: 10 min 04 sec0 -
4.04 miles tonight on a nice frosty evening. Roll on the full moon, the roads I'm running on are very badly potholed so need the light of the moon to see where I'm going
I have a head light but have misplaced over the last couple of days.
Very slow tonight, have a bit of tightness in my right leg below the calf, remember the physio dispersing that for me last year....hopefully it'll go away itself cos I definately don't want to suffer that again....it feels so good but so sore at the same time-weird!!
mile 1 10.35 165 bpm
mile 2 10.55 174 bpm
mile 3 10.59 177 bpm
mile 4 11.07 176 bpm
Really didn't feel like I was going that slow! :eek:0 -

Didn't make my three miler on Sat anyway....bad time management I suppose.
Went to the 10 k today, was a walk on beforehand in which about 200 people took part. There were about 25-30 runners only, so lets just say I was bringing up the rear from the get-go.
Was quite a hilly run and ended up walking a few of the hills (no stamina for these). Anyway, it turns out my forerunner mapped the run as 5.77 miles not 6.2 unfortunately. Took me 58 min 54 s so was nowhere near getting under 1 hour for 10k anyway.
Mile 1 9.40
Mile 2 11.02
Mile 3 10.23
Mile 4 10.24
Mile 5 10.20
Mile 6 (0.77 miles-7 min 1s)
0.4 miles is a good chunk to miss, its a shame really but I suppose when it starts and ends directly outside the hall where registration and refreshments are on there isn't mch you can do :pac:
To me mile 1 and 2 are probably correct but I think they may have gotten a bit shorter after that....0 -
