    Yeah i got a lift on the motorbike - the agony on my face will appear on a photo somewhere i'm sure;)

    Great going and there's a bit more time there once you have Cork out of the way. You missed the cakes - well worth it and had to go back for seconds:p

    You'll be carrying those cakes around Donore!:D

    I asked for a full stop once, they said 'no' so I'm stuck with Mrs Low;)

    Met up with Meno, Shels, claralara and Raycun @ 9am sharp :rolleyes:, we returned to the car park to pick up Chinguetti and the Vaggababe, we ran pretty much every direction we could in the park even taking in Knockmaroon hill :). At about 17 miles which was to plan, Meno had succeeded in talking me into doing 20 'as I was at it'

    20 miles in 3:03:22 average pace 9:10 min miles :cool:

    So that's 3 x 20 milers with the time shortening naturally as I do each one. I won't push it to 22 next week as I have a pretty heavy plan midweek. After next Sunday I'm into taper and then the madness sets in.....:eek:

    When did you decide this?

    Are you still up for the 20 though? I'm sure I can talk you into the 22 :pac:

    Good running today. The pace really picked up for the last 5 miles which makes it absolutely brilliant training, teaching the body to speed up when it's tired :D

    Wow, so impressed, firstly with your 5k PB and then running 20 miles yesterday at such a quick pace.
    Way to go... :)

    Looks like I'm gonna have to..... :rolleyes:
    Can't wait now for taper week to be honest.

    What I meant there was 'look at you doing another 20 at the weekend', you'll be bulletproof after taper.

    Well done on taking that chunk off your time. Fair play to you.:D

    That's what I thought you meant. With 4 weeks to go, I really should pop another 20 miler in there.

    As for 'bulletproof', I feel that my calves are so tight and muscely (sp?, I'll let digger correct that one) that bullets would bounce off them. :)
    My new dilemma is 'sports massage or not'. :confused:

    Thanks Aimman, hopefully after Cork I'll be able to knock another chunk off of it!

    Might be worth getting a sports massage during your taper just to work out any niggles before Cork.

    Sports massage the first week in Taper, I'll give you a good contact if you need one, if your calves are tight buy a stick (the short one) it's an excellent piece of kit. See you Sunday for 20? Get in the babysitter.

    On a serious note, Digger doesn't have much access to boards at the moment but I know he'll be well up for being paced around the track tonight, decent of you to offer.
