Easy 3 miles
Easy run on the plan today so off I took after work. A fab eve for a run once I had layered up obviously! Some nice sparkly and slippery footpaths to contend with but it just made it more fun. You can probably tell that I really enjoyed this
. I'm liking this pain free running, fingers crossed it may continue... 0 -

Easy Run - 4 miles
Supposed to do this run on Sunday but knew I wouldn't get a chance so I headed out this eve. The rain had just stopped as I headed out so I opted for the out and back route along the coast. The first 2 miles were lovely, hardly anybody out and about so pretty much the footpath to myself. The stars were twinkling on the sea as the waves rolled in, really calming. Rounded the bollards as the watch beeped 2 and then I figured out why the first 2 miles were lovely! A "nice" head wind on the way back. I felt like I was going backward at times. I threw in a couple of strides in the last 1/2 mile just to stetch the legs.

Easy run - 3 miles, Parkrun
Headed off to Avoca Parkrun this morning to get these 3 miles done. All my running is supposed to be easy miles at the moment to build back up the fitness/miles so the idea was to do this as a training run. Met up with jcsmum who was under orders for a top 3 female finish or she was getting no scone
. She duly obliged by being the 2nd woman home so a scone was allowed. Well done K.
My own run was grand, everytime I felt the pace picking up I reigned it in which is very hard to do in a race. Much more enjoyable than the last time I did this. Despite the fact this was an easy run, my time today was only 7 seconds off the time 2 weeks ago when I nearly killed myself trying to race it. Good to see some small bit of fitness returning.
Best part again was yummy scone and coffee afterwards with the running buddies.0 -

Cross-training = shopping and the only thing that got a good workout were my friendly plastic cards and my stress levels!

Easy Run - 4 miles
Woke up Sunday with that familiar shin niggle - oh how I missed you...not! Possibly caused by the fact I had 2 back to back runs last week. Lesson learnt and I'm going to cut the number of runs to 3 a week for a while and see how it goes.
So first mile this evening was the usual uncomfortable feeling but then it settled down and behaved (a classic sign of shin splints, I know :rolleyes:). The remainder of the run was one of the most enjoyable I've had. I love running in these foggy cold conditions and was nodding and smiling like an idiot to everyone I passed. I got some funny looks. Who cares tho! 0 -

Anne we are just very friendly people...when in a good mood. When is the bike getting its debut spin?Oh I don't know, call it my 'whacky' sense of humour!
Whacky is one word for it alright. I shall not be encouraging you to come northside any more so...I might move one place up the female table if you don't come 0 -
Well this was a short log :rolleyes:. So I've decided to take the plunge and move over to the dark side...the Tri/Duathlon/AR forum. Someone needs to bring down the standard over there as they are all way too good
. So I've decided to take up that challenge.
I know most you won't venture there often but do pop in to say hi and give me some encouragement on my quest! I'll still be annoying ye all here anyway so you won't get rid of me that easy 0 -
