    Yes, when dying on the Kyber close to puking make sure and tell me to suck it up! See what happens!

    hmm, I seem to remember someone standing on Military Road at the end of May laughing at the 5k runners...

    Worse. I'll bring my running gear with me and do my nice easy scheduled 30 minute run with strides while you're dying, and have a big smile on my face the entire time. :cool:

    Aren't you a sweetheart? :cool: Actually, put your evil to good use and focus it on Perky.

    4 miles yesterday evening in 35:13, pace of 8:48
    Did a loop around Firhouse which is windy & hilly. Tired after that.

    8 miles yesterday in 1:13, pace of 9:12
    This was supposed to be a slow run - well I thought it would be with the heat and distance. :rolleyes: I kinda started at this pace and seemed to be able to keep going without too much effort.

    Seriously though what is with bunches of young guys out walking the roads and parks shouting crap at female walkers/runners.
    Note to self, learn to karate chop & kick while running. :rolleyes::mad::cool:

    Finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel but just seriously bored of walking everywhere...why walk when you can get there so much quicker by running :).

    I'll be over at the park on Sat for the race so I might see you there.

    After Donore we went to Ryan's and I decided to walk in the direction of home, into the park at Parkgate st and across to Farmleigh, I was wrecked at the end of it. If I had run it wouldn't have knocked a spot off of me.

    I know, little buggers are everywhere. That's one of the few consolations at running at ridiculous o'clock in the morning, they're all still in bed... Except on Saturday and Sunday mornings when they're just coming back from the night before... I'll keep an eye out for you on Saturday; I just posted on Shaz's log that i might need a kick in the a$$ to get me up the Kyber (ooooh that just sounds so Carry On-ish!) so if you see me struggling, roar!

    You're running in Royshland, move out of your comfort zone! Show a bit of leg, it all helps!

    We'll try our best no doubt to roar at everyone, but as it's so crowded we might miss one or two of you.
    Wear something bright! :D:cool:

    Thursday/Friday Rest days

    Saturday, headed over to the park to cheer on fellow boardsies in the 5miler. I didn't enjoy this race last year and just not a big fan of 5k or 5 milers so I decided to sit this one out. Met Shaz on the kyber and we did our best to be super enthusiastic 'cheerleaders'. It didn't go to plan as we missed some people, scared other people and destroyed other people's 'stalking' activities (right digger?!). All in all we had a good laugh. It was nice also to get to see the inside of Ryans at last.
    To be honest, I know I said I didn't like the shorter races, but I'm not sure I want to be a spectator again. :rolleyes::)

    Saturday pm 5 uneventful miles between the showers.
