Sunday - 5.3 miles at 8:53
Took a day off yesterday following my semi "Mo" on Friday evening..... Legs were a little achy which is not surprising as I finished the week with 39 miles which is pretty impressive considering where I've been over the last few months. The plan for tomorrow is to do an easy 10 and unless the coach tells me otherwise AND I actually listen to him
I'll get up into the 40's for this coming week. 0 -

Sounds like a it was a toughie. Just removed my interest in getting a long run done sometime soon...
Look, let's call it as it is... I've had to up the mileage pretty quickly, I did a quick enough 8 the day before and I had 2 sandwiches throughout the whole day before I decided to do this so totes my own fault good news is that I'm actually enjoying the prospect of running at the moment, can't wait for the clocks to go forward now

Monday - Happy St. Patrick's Day
10 Miles at 8:46 pace - Headed off to do this with The Foot, had the usual first couple of groggy miles but at around the 3 mile point I was absolutely wrecked and we were doing 9 min/miles!! Managed to battle my way through that and the uphill at the 4.5 mile mark and felt reasonably okay at the turnaround point. I was aware that I upped the pace in the last few miles and decided I really wanted a good strong finish which I managed..... Splits as follows... 9:06, 8:51, 8:55, 9:03, 9:04, 9:02, 8:51, 8:44, 8:33, 7:42.
Just talking with CL there about the body feeling a bit weary and we calculated that I've averaged almost 8 miles a day in the last 9 days which is pretty decent, even for someone with 3 x Donadea 50k tops 0 -

She said she waved... I like the way you are open to stalking both of us... Have you become Tri and Bi? 0 -

Wednesday - 8 Miles at 8:37 pace
Went to bed last night with a scratchy throat and woke up at 3 am soaked in perspiration (and it wasn't due to a dream about measuring my runs in KM's) Drove to and back from Cork today so was a bit achy as I got out of the car and was ready for my run a few minutes later. The 8 went fine but I was absolutely dripping in sweat by the time I finished, even my legs looked like the were coated in varnish. On the Nurofen Cold and Flu now :eek: 0 -

So, a little tricky in the middle of the week as I was away with work and it's difficult to find time to run accordingly. No runs on Wednesday and Thursday had me behind the 8 ball, got the 5 done on Friday and then as follows...
Saturday - 16 @ 8:58 - I did this whilst CL, Menostew and his Ma did their run from DunLaoghaire to Raheny (including the Park Run)..... I didn't want to join them as I'm not especially confident in my pace at the moment and didn't want to hold them back. The run turned out to be ok but the last couple of miles the legs felt heavy. Stuck the calf & Quad guards on for the evening.
Sunday - 10 @ about 9 ish - Did this one with CL who was a little surprised when I suggested 10.... All went well, hmmmm, starting to feel like I can run a sub 17 minute 5k in the Summer...
Away again with work for 4 days next week so it will be tricky to get consistent runs in but I'm expecting a gentle taper plan to arrive this evening from Newbygirl 0 -

Wednesday - 3 mile recovery and chased by a Rottweiler
Yesterday evening as I approached the same father and son with two Rottweilers, I noted he took hold of one of them as I ran by them last night, so, cue this evening and I came upon the same set up in the woods only this time I was coming from the rear (said the actress to the bishop) and despite my intentionally amplified footfall they didn't cop it.... But, Rocky did and he went for me! Muscle memory is a strange thing and I side stepped him with a speed witnessed by many a Blackrock back in the early 80's and I bought myself enough time for the owner to get Rocky to heel.... I really like dogs and I sort of prescribe to the "not bad dogs, bad owners" logic but this fcuker reminded me of The Omen 0 -
