Saturday - 14 Mile LSR - 14 @ 8:50
Was meant to meet up with a group in the park for this but I went to bed with a runny nose on Friday night and woke up with a head cold.... No point in snezzing my germs over others! Although the legs, again, were dead in the last few miles I actually enjoyed this run more than I have most in the last couple of months.
I decided to head toward Dun Laoighaire and stalk the stalker so to speak Despite continuing through Glasthule, Sandycove, Cloiemore Road and eventually the Vico Road I didn't spot meno'stalk or his quarry marthastew!
Sunday - Recovery - 2.5 at 9:10
Not a huge amount to say about this, tried to run into town to pick up the car with CL but was told in her, now legendary, gentle manner, to cop the fcuk on!! So I headed out the lossen up the bandy ole legs. 0 -
Monday - 4 miles easy - 4 @ 8:14
Stepped this up a little pace-wise just to see how the lungs would feel. Glad I did but I've got some work to do to get back to where I was. The guns are looking a little neglected so I'll be giving them some work over the next few weeks. Waiting for TRR to send on some workouts but I'll be using both arms..... He has a serious bicep on that right arm but sorely lacking on the left, not quite sure how he's managed that 0 -

I actually strained a muscle in my right bicep two weeks back and it's been killing me. Don't know how I did it actually!!!!!0 -

Recent report....
In an effort to help the legs recover I did zero running Tuesday through Saturday. I did however play golf on Friday for the second time in 18 months and my legs were shattered afterwards. Got up on Saturday and had DOMS city!! Went along to the BHAA 10k and met up with a few of the regulars as well as Slogger Jogger who I don't think I'd seen since last year's DCM pacers dinner! CL again put in a great (and very comfortable) performance with 2nd place in a new PB of 39:30 ish..!!??
Sunday - Got up again feeling creaky/domsy/lacticky etc. etc. and went out with The Foot and The Nordie... My observations of this run were - Miles 1-4 legs creaky, hamstrings tight, heel ok..... Miles 5 - 7 legs a little better, hamstrings fine, heel a little sore, do I have my right shoe tied too tightly... Mile 8 - Ouch, my instep, shoe too tight, heel sore... Mile 9 - Better stop, kneel down and loosen the lace... Sh1t, not easy to get back up.... Miles 10 - 12... Legs dead, heel sore, instep sore. Finished this a very unhappy digdig...
Sunday night, beers with CL, Meno and Marthastew and then later got to watch Meno giving it loads as he scabbed smokes off a Cork girl.... He's quite the smoothie when he needs to be
Monday, a new week - I'll rest today and then it's time to do more miles at aerobic pace and see how I get on. I will get the foot thing looked at but with regards to the constant aching and lack of power in the legs I just think I'll wake up some morning soon and it will have gone away (a little like CL hopes with me) 0 -

The race time I mean, not you.
Well.... OBVIOUSLY on both counts
She actually did the first lap (5k) in 19:30 and she was yapping to the guy running beside her. There's a sub 37:xx there soon I think.....
Only a matter of time before I lose my last household PB0 -

I was 100% focused around 3.5km into the race when I heard some piercing voice shouting above all others. I thought nothing of it at first, but a few seconds later when I heard the words "Oh, come on Orna!" I realised Marthastew was shouting to my left and Claralara was running on my right (on her way back to the finish line) and I actually saw neither of them!
Thought I was hearing things then when I couldn't find her name in the results...but now I see she was running incognito!
I shouted for you first time down the North Side of the quays and you sort of turned your head in a very slow fashion (the way 100 mile runners do) but you were too late to see me, your loss big-time!! :D 0 -
