It was nice to see you again Liam, but you were really unfortunate with that injury. I have total respect for the way you kept going for hours despite your troubles. You must have been in a very dark place at times, I could see how much you were suffering.

You will emerge stronger from this.

Time for Liamo to start logging again...

Monday 6th through Sunday 12th.. 32.67 miles

My hip was in bits for about 10 days after Bangor . Took time off work and basically hobbled around the place. Got a fair bit of treatment and was told to take a month off so thats what I did. Was delighted to get back on the roads but unfortunately im still not right. Hip is still giving me a little grief but not enough to stop me running if that makes sense.



Monday 13th...... 7.38 miles....56.34... avg pace 7.40

Tuesday 14th....10 miles...1.18.18...avg pace 7.50

Wednesday 15th...7.76 miles...58.50... avg pace 7.35

Thursday 16th....Rest Day

Friday 17th.....9.94 miles...1.16.22...avg pace 7.41

Saturday 18th... Rest Day

Baby steps at the moment. Ive lost so much fitness with my months inactivity its all about building up slowly especially when im not running pain free.

Was lovely to meet you Liam and was such a pleasure seeing you attain such a huge tally given all the negative elements thrown in your face.
I suspect you have unfinished business here and will visit this mad ultra business again .I look forward to running a few miles with you in the future, if I can keep up.

Speedy recovery to you .

Good to see you back Liam. I was getting a little worried there with Beebeep a little injured and no word from you. I was hoping not to have to pace the 1:40 crew on my own in the Dublin Half

Time to get this log up and running once again ....

Basically I had a little setback mid August but thankfully Ive been tipping away nicely for the last 3 weeks averaging 40ish miles per week. Hip is almost perfect again but my fitness levels are cat :eek:.

Paced 1.40 at Saturdays DCM Half with BeepBeep67 and Meno. Really enjoyable run . We had a good crew with us the whole way around and compared to 2011 we had no real problems with the slower runners in wave 1. The backpack also worked a treat. For the 1st 7 or so miles I ran up front with BeepBeep and Meno took the rear. I the swapped with Meno . Was talking to a couple of work colleagues at the start including my boss but hadnt seen them in the pack so wanted to make sure they were still in tow. Thankfully they were still with us . We banked a little time before hitting the S-Bends where things got a little difficult for some for our entourage. For the next 3 mile miles it was all about encouraging those who were struggling. To b fair most of them dug deep and got home just under 1.40 which was great including my boss who made it in 1.39.50 so delighted for him.


Another 10 slow miles followed on Sunday.



Milage For Year : 1702.66


Hope to add a bit of structure to my training in the next couple of weeks and looking forward to my pacing duties at DCM.
