I suspect she may have somebody to do that alright. Hope they have a shiny (new) garmin so they can pace correctly
I'll get her to 20 miles, then she's going to carry me the rest of the wayOnly the best for me
Thank you for not seizing the opportunity to slag that I gifted you, you're a class act!0 -

Only got a 25 min window to run this morning so 3 miles at 8'52 pace.
Just as well really because I would have run a lot more and I really shouldn't as I'm tapering for Cork
What the flock?!!! :eek:
I've been offline for a week and the world goes mad!!!
The very best of luck K - you know you have it in the bag 0 -

From your log you'd never have guessed you'd had that kind of a test and you're back churning out the miles and a shot at the sub 3.45.
Very best of luck with it
Thanks a mill. Come what may, I'm really looking forward to trying again. 0 -

The world goes mad, thought it was just me! This running lark is crazy that's all I'll say. It's a weekend away if nothing else 0 -

Are you running the full? How exciting, very, very best of luck no matter what you are racing
Only noticed now that I didn't reply to you O. I'm doing the full alright. I'll give the sub 3'45 another go. I'm actually really relaxed about it, maybe too relaxed 0 -

Had to abandon my early morning run yesterday due to the rain, so set out this am instead. 4 miles 9'04 pace, should have been slower I know....
Legs feel fine but a few days ago I tweaked something in my upper back, neck and right shoulder. HAve been applying the deep heat so fingers crossed it will be ok by Monday.
No nerves this time around, so far, just looking forward to it really. Obviously the memories of the last 8 in Limerick have evaporated from my mind. 0 -

I'm actually far more comfortable as a back seat passenger come to think of it. Its to do with my travel sickness issues....oh didnt i mention those?:D 0 -
A sub 3'45 marathon, take 2. Another day when it was not to be, chip time 3'45'36. A PB by around a minute, so judging by that I should get the sub 3'45 next go!
Everything went to plan until my legs saw the 25 mile marker and then they turned to jelly. The garmin read 3'33 at that stage, I was so close.....and yet so far.
Huge thanks to C for pacing me even if I dropped you at mile 22, I was afraid to look back for you as I knew the pacers were right behind me. Never conceived that you could possibly be struggling. (It's all about me). I appreciated all the support on the day. It wouldn't have been half as enjoyable on my own.
Thanks to my backroom staff, my chauffeur Shaz, my sunscreen applier nules and physical therapist/nurse Ro. Had a great giggly girlie weekend.
I'm not sure where I go now. I'm considering not racing for a while and just training away for dcm. I think I need to take a step back from chasing times, keeping the log and putting pressure on myself.
I love running and if the last mile yesterday had gone like the previous 25 then maybe my sentiments might be totally different. Maybe it was the heat, running so soon after Limerick, needing additional sugar during the race, who knows. I'm very disappointed at missing out on my goal time but I know that I will get there.0 -
