    Have you entered Limerick? Looking at the thread in the events forum it seems to have a lot of negative feedback from other years.

    I grimace when i hear of anyone getting work done on the achilles its so painful. Think the half is restricted to 1000 entrants. Not sure what numbers they are at at the moment. Have a look at the course on their website might help you decide

    PT advised against running up hills but I'd imagine the half would be pretty flat. The legs are grand today, so fingers crossed.

    Well done on the 10 last weekend. Really good running. When you have good PB's already in the bag, no doubt it becomes difficult to start breaking them. What you need is a 54 min 10k PB like myself and just to take a minute off every year..! That is still a savage time and knowing you can break it again is even better! :)

    Hope the injury stays away!

    So the PT tells me to try and avoid hills, and what do I do first run back....pick the hilliest route possible! I ran around muckross park which is all scenic and gorgeous, but so many up and downs.

    Anyway got 10 miles done pace of 8'58. The legs felt good. Hope they stay that way as I've signed up for bohermeen and mallow.

    18 miles this am with the group in 2'45 exactly, pace 9'10.
    Not really Lsr pace but delighted to be able to do it. At one stage shels and I seemed to be doing sub 8'30 pace and for me that was on my last few miles. It was tough going for sure and I was thrilled to be near my car at that stage, while shels had to go on for another 3.
    Good run.

    7 miles this am. The garmin ran out of power with half a mile to go, but I was averaging 9 min miles.
    Legs were very tired before I started running, but once I got going they were grand.
    Glorious morning, could have kept on going really.....

    You might not be far away from that, You were running very strong after 18 miles. I died at the end of my run, paid the price for the increase in pace.

    I wouldn't say strong, more like tired.
    Tonight's run nearly killed me. Must check out your log to see how you're doing.

    5 miles tonight pace of 8'30. Like I said in the previous post, this run nearly killed me. I started off great, but in the last mile, uphill I might add, it reminded me how sometimes I absolutely and totally hate running. And now here I am in my armchair, box of chocolate fingers on my lap and all is right with the world again!!
