Unfortunately it was Europe this week so no escaping the cold...and back in Dub now to this lovely weather. Sunshine is from Monday onwards...

Must have a chat to you about the eye zap - trying to pluck up the courage to get mine done but the thoughts of it :eek::eek:

Do it! It has been an amazing experience for me - no more contacts, no more glasses and better than 20/20 vision in both eyes... Although I was reaching for the glasses the first few mornings that I woke up after the surgery and wondering where I had left them :rolleyes:

It's totally brilliant. I cant even remember what life was before I had it done, all I know it that it was the best money I've spent in years!

+ 1 again. Nightime is a whole new experience and I can see clearer than ever before. A few side effects still but they'll be gone by next week

shazkea · 28-01-2012 8:46pm

Oh I know it would be great to get rid of the contacts. Both my Dad and bro had it done and took great delight in telling me how you can smell the burning :eek:...bottle of wine and valium would be required before I could go through with it!

sunflowerRo · 28-01-2012 9:53pm

Yeah I only found out about the Valium thing the day before and it was too late then to get my hands on one/ten then. I'd definitely take a Valium if I got it done again

Supposed to be flying out today but no sign of tickets so I took that as a sign to sign up for Raheny last night. Good day out in Raheny despite the rain.

Nice 5 mile PB in the bag and beat my target so happy with that. Time to dig into goody bag now

Edit: Time: 41:10

Edit 2: Chip says 41:18 but Garmin says 41:10...confused as I thought I had it started/stopped it exactly on mats. Ah well not going to quibble over 8 seconds!

Mr Slow · 29-01-2012 7:05pm

Great time, well done!

Nules10 · 29-01-2012 7:19pm

well done shaz, you were on fire today there was no stopping you brill run

sunflowerRo · 29-01-2012 7:32pm

Well done Shaz. I'm well impressed. Miserable day for it too! There's no stopping you now

jcsmum · 29-01-2012 7:45pm

Oh you dark horse, that's one way to avoid the pressure for sure. Well done on the PB.

jcsmum · 29-01-2012 7:50pm

Just saw your time on Rachel's log. SUPER!!

You'll always better you training performance in races. A month ago i ran 4 x 1 mile at my race pace from today and was puking at the end of the 4th one despite taking a 2 minute rest betwen miles. ( I had intended doing 5 x 1 miles but gave up after 4:o). Today in the race the pace seemed easy enough despite doing 5 consecutive miles with no breaks

DigiJem · 29-01-2012 10:54pm

Well done Shaz. Another one with a PB from Raheny, the rain made ye all run faster

Thanks DJ, although to be fair anything better than 50:58 would have been a PB today so I was sorted

Well done shaz. Great running. Is this your last race before heading over to triathlons? :rolleyes:

RubyK · 30-01-2012 10:09am

Ah brilliant, I just got my ticket now for the flight I was supposed to be on yesterday...that was helpful :mad::mad:

I'm as blind as a bat without contacts so I can't do triathlons till I get my eyes zapped. I can't get my eyes zapped until I take a serious dose of HTFU which is not going to happen soon

. So in short you're stuck with me in running for the near future!

shazkea · 30-01-2012 3:38pm

Time for an update of the 2012 hitlist...

Knocking off the 5 mile - target 42:40 and actual is 41:18.

Unoffically got the 5km one also yesterday (25:20) but will wait for a 5km race to hopefully recreate that!

5km| 25:45 |27:58 (Mar 2011)|26:58 (Sept 2011)
8km|42:26| none| none
5 Miles| 42:40| 50:58 (Jan 2010) | 41:18 (Jan 2012)
10km|51:00 |55:32 (June 2010) |53:04 (April 2011)
10 Miles|1:29:36|none |none
Half Marathon| 1:59:00 |2:07:59 (Jan 2011)|2:02:xx (May 2011)

Nice start to 2012
