Lads it's just a matter of which of you will be dropped first by the pacers

Grand, you set off from the start @ 7:45 and I'll follow the pacers, you'll get to the park and Walkinstown first!

I'll have a word with the locals, make sure I leave Walkinstown first at any rate...

8.75km in 47.47 (5.28 pace)

Easy run home from work, had to keep slowing down again today to stop from creeping up to PMP. Did a few strides on the way for the crack. Today's niggle: sore left knee

DCM 2010 - Ray leaves pace group on the downhill at Phoenix Park
DCM 2011 - Mr Slow decides he will leave pace group on the downhill at Phoenix park

Jan 2011 - Ray says his DCM target is 3.30
some months later - Mr Slow decides his DCM target will be 3.30

Jan 2011 - Ray sets 5k target of sub-20, and gets it in Rathfarnham
some months later - Mr Slow sets 5k target of sub-20. He'll get it eventually

I'm just glad I don't have a pet rabbit :eek:

You announced this after I did!

Jan 2011 - Ray says his DCM target is 3.30

My target is not 3:30 or 3:29:59

Jan 2011 - Ray sets 5k target of sub-20, and gets it in Rathfarnham
some months later - Mr Slow sets 5k target of sub-20. He'll get it eventually

Aren't you a nice guy?

Here is the opening post on my log, dated 24 - 11 - 2010

DCM 2011, Plan?....Start Slow, then Taper Off
I only started running in April 2010, so this year has been about growing the distance, getting a lot of miles into the legs and completing DCM without dying. Now I'm ready to move up a level or two, so from Monday next I'll be following Hal Higdon's 5k advanced schedule, then his 10k followed closely by the half marathon and finally the advanced marathon training plan.

Current times:
1. Dunshaughlin 10k - 54:07
2. Adidas Half Marathon - 153:19
3. Adidas Marathon - 4:15

Goals for 2011:
1. Sub 20 min 5k
2. Sub 45 min 10k
3. Sub 1:40 Half
4. Sub 3:50 Marathon

Let the games begin.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Anyone else see Meno and Chinguetti?

Well i'm on the right, the brother needs the stick to beat home the sub 4 hr people:D

On a serious note, Ray don't leave the sub 3 30 lads until mile 18 at least, run within yourself as long as you can and use all those people as a windbreaker. And that goes for Mr Slow.

I went with them last year on a nice day (cracked rib too) but its around Clonskeagh the race really begins. Don't be foolish and go too early, its a long way out on a wet and possibly windy day.

Maybe not, but sure i tried to help with some advice.

I'm not great at the 'told you so' thing. Then again i ran a marathon with a cracked rib from running into a car so really, i can't claim to be the wisest guy in the world.

Your advice is generally spot on Mr, but Pistol's right!

This is spot on advice, I have told the same thing to Mr Slow, but it looks like he is not going to listen :rolleyes:.

I am going to warn you Mr Slow, If you blow up after going away from the pacing group early, I WILL take, great pleasure in saying 'I told you so' (not like the brother)

One day you and I will run a marathon without being injured/sick/cycling into the back of buses/running into vans with a few weeks/days to go. One day Chinguetti. One day...

Mr Slow is the favourite no doubt based on the 3 mins between them in the half. I'd go 1/4 MrS, 4/1 Ray. I'm stopping short on making odds on the time they run though.

4.32km in 23.18 (5.24 pace)

Last little run, up to the park where I did most of my early morning runs last year. Pace was creeping up all the way around. No niggles today, but I do have a cold - knew I should have locked the wife and kids in the attic for the week :rolleyes:
Nothing serious though, mainly just a runny nose. It doesn't affect my breathing and should be cleared up by Monday anyway.
