People excel under our guidance I'll have you know, a corrupted mind is a happy one!

I hadn't really intended it but yep, I guess it was....Times were all over the place because of the elevation but the effort increased mile on mile until the warm down!

I meant what happened to the planned Tempo!;)

It was meant to be 5 at slow pace and 5 at half marathon pace...It turned into something else as usual but it was a fab run in the sunshine!...Have to head out and do 11 miles later..

digger2d2

The plan today was for 11 miles but my youngest Daughter announced that finally she wanted to go for a run with me..(I've been suggesting this for over a year)....So, out the window went 11 miles and off we went to Marlay....Mile 1 at 11.08 pace and my Daughter had to lie down....She was so wrecked even her teeth hurt

Whilst she was recovering I scooted off and did another 2 miles at 7:55 pace. Not sure what to do now...17 due on Sunday so no point in doing anything silly tomorrow I guess.

1 Mile warm-up and 2 miles at 7.55 pace

digger2d2

I awoke feeling very positive and decided to head out at 7.30 a.m. for my 17 mile LSR. I started at Knackeragua and off down through Harolds Cross...Turned right down the Canal, turned back toward town after Haddington Rd, took a right down Barrow st (must be an amazing place to wake up in the mornings and have a coffee overlooking Grand Mill Quay in this weather)...Anyway, Pearse St became Grafton St, into St Stephens Green, Leeson st and on out through Ranelagh and basically followed the Dodder all the way home....Absolutely lovely (apart from the bit at the end )!

17.5 miles @ 9:32 pace and a 2 mile warm-down walk

Legs tired, head great!

well done:)

Another gorgeous morning so I headed out before all my Dutch Gold swilling neighbours had even started to sober up....

Recovery Run - 3.08 miles @ 9:34 pace

Round up of the week - 5 runs and 36.68 miles

Hope all goes well for the Conn crowd.....Looking forward to the race reports later and seeing Meno's Ultra medal theory tested out!!

Mr Slow

Nice running horse!

jcsmum

Super running! well done.

digger2d2

Due to my current sleeping arrangements I got very little actual sleep last night (and not in a good way ) The result of which I was wide awake at 3 am considering an LSR or a work trip to Donegal :eek:.....Despite my momentary stupidity I got back off for an hour or two and headed out at 6:44 (A.M. not per mile:D)....

10 Miles - First 5 Miles at 9:21 pace and last 5 Miles at 8:49

Very happy with this as 1. It felt very easy and 2. The last 3 miles were up that freakin Firhouse wind tunnel and it was so bad I was nearly blown to a stop once or twice:D

Last night I headed into town for a couple of pints, I fell into bad company and got home at 3.30 am.....On top of the additional pint-age consumed, I had only eaten two sandwiches all day......Not so bright! As a result, today was tentative but rather than skip a run I headed out for a little loosener..

3.69 miles at 8:47 pace

When I saw the distance I was wondering whether or not you'd changed plans, now I see you're on the Claralara plan, (ie)fit your running in around your boozing

Anyways I've just got word the grandparents are up for a spot of babysitting for a few days, so Sunday might be a possibility after all.
