Splits:
w/u - 9:12

7:01, 7:39, 7:37, 7:41*
7:32, 7:28, 8:01

I was supposed to be running these at 6:55 pace Several times I thought about stopping but I kept going. Starting the last 3 was a killer. I looked at my watch and I was struggling to keep 8 min pace and I seriously considered just stopping and walking home. But I made a deal with myself just to try and do MP miles and once I got over that mental barrier the pace picked up the again 0 -

Those are still good splits CM and look at it this way, you didn't give up when the going got tough! Fair play to you I say 0 -

Thanks BYou didnt stop and give in which shows serious determination, great session, well done. I am really pleased about that. I think maybe 6:55 10mile pace is a bit much at the minute. I kinda thought it might be which was why I was so anxious about this session (my resting heart rate was way up this morn) but I said I'd give it a go anyway 0 -

Ya you're right. I just wanted to see how close I was to 70 min for DungarvanIt looks like your first rep took a lot out of you because by the second mile in the second rep your times have slipped quite a bit. It may have been just a bad morning, or you may need to consider a time closer to 7.10. If you were closer to 7.10 that first mile would have been far more comfortable and it may have changed your session completely. I only say this because Waterford isn't that long ago, and in that you were running avg 7.30. 1/2 & 10 mile race doesn't seem that far apart distance wise, and yet you're trying to jump 35secs a mile.
It was about 9 o clock when I left. The roads were quite slippy in places but that wasn't the reason for the slower splitsHow early where you out for the session CM?

Hang on a second here.... I haven't dropped into this log for a while and all of a sudden you are training @ 6.55 mpm?!
I'm not saying anything but that's a lance Armstrong type improvement
Can't wait for CM's interview with Oprah in a few years time, bound to be much more entertaining than Lance's, bet he never has been kicked by a horse or has any chickens 0 -

Legs seemed to have recovered well after yesterday
Hey there I'm just catching up with your log, looks like your still storming it, your defo going to rock it out in 2013.
I can see where rasher_m is coming from, I'm seeing you as our little group's Rurhann Sheahan, read a piece where it said she kept breaking rules about how things were that she didn't know existed, just because she could.
Anyhow I'm loving talk about early morning runs as that is my time to be out there. And sorry about the chickens (RIP) but thought I'd share a small story/pics that joins these themes up.
On a run 20th Oct the week b4 DCM I met your mate Mr Fox while on a 10 mile "go whereever" run (I just leave the house and do a Forest Gump) that started at 06:43, It was pretty dark (pic1) I was crossing the East Link bridge and there he was scavenging between the road and the water's edge. I got quite close (pic2) with phone and I gotta admit that at the time i thought he was pretty cute as critters go! and then he sauntered away(pic3).
FYI here is the run link on runkeeper - still no watch!

Thanks for your concern re chickens. The last remaining hen was psychologically disturbed for a number of days. She has taken to sleeping in the dog's house nowAnyhow I'm loving talk about early morning runs as that is my time to be out there. And sorry about the chickens (RIP) but thought I'd share a small story/pics that joins these themes up. Nice pictures.....your fox looks well fed!! 0 -

You poor thing, make sure you take a few days off, rest up and look after yourself. You don't want to rush back and maybe leave yourself sick for the race this weekend. It might be a blessing in disguise if you have really fresh legs going into the race.career_move wrote: »No running for me this weekend ..... sick on Thursday evening, sick yest, no better today :mad: Stupid immune system :mad:0 -

On the plus side (as one kind soul pointed out to me) it could never be as bad as manflu so its nothing to worry about :rolleyes:
Obviously what you have isn't as bad as man flu, us delicate women could never cope with anything as painful as that :rolleyes:0 -

You back in the saddle yet, things have been awfully boring past few days without your posts!!!RunningKing wrote: »CM - just post about your day, just general stuff - make stuff up if you have too :-):D:D Tomorrow boys, tomorrow I am hopeful of making a Lazarus like recovery in time for Dungarvan :D:D
For everyone who has missed my animal stories......here is........ The Donkey Story - the castration that never was....
The Cast:
Me - the vet
Amy - the nurse
The Donkey - untrained and uncooperative (also unwillingly to part wth the family jewels)
The Owner - elderly man with a strong body odour
The Help - also elderly and frail
Picture the scene:
I'm reluctantly dispatched to castrate a donkey on a cold October's day. Enthusiasm is at an all time low. I don't like donkeys and I don't like donkey owners. I've never castrated a donkey but I know two things. 1) Donkeys bleed 2) Donkeys kick and invariably are on target The only thing that makes the job a little bit bearable is that I get to bring Amy with me.
So we arrive at the farm. I say farm in a loose sense of the word. More cottage at the side of the road really and are greeted by the owner and the help. I take one look at them and at the donkey I can see grazing at the bottom of the field and I know my fate.....I'm going to be here for hours
So Amy and I are setting the stuff up and the two men head off to catch the donkey. Unfortunately the donkey has decided he is not for catching today and takes off in the opposite direction with the two lads hot on his heels. Round and round the field they go. Its only a tiny field but there's no way they're going to catch the donkey and I'm getting pretty annoyed. Like how difficult would it have been to have the bugger caught before I arrive? This goes on for 5 maybe 10 minutes. Amy and I are just standing watching. Its like something from a stupid comedy show. Next minute the owner comes past us. Red as a beetroot and hardly able to breathe. 'I really shouldn't be doing this' he says ' I only had a triple heart bypass last week'. I'm just looking at Amy thinking is he for real and next thing he collapses about 10 feet from us. So we run over. He's blue in the face and not moving. I check his pulse. There's no pulse. Amy rings 999. The lady on the phone is giving her instructions. I start doing chest compressions. I say to Amy tell her there's no pulse. Don't worry about that the lady says. Just keep doing chest compressions. The owner starts regurgitating stomach contents. Amy is telling me the 999 lady says he needs mouth to mouth. I'm looking at bilious semi digested food. Then I remember the help and he is summoned over and instructed to perform mouth to mouth (which to his credit he does) while I continue the chest compressions. I know the poor man is dead though but we keep doing it, in spite of the regurgitated food which erupt everytime I compress the chest, until the ambulance arrives and pronouces him dead. 'Is there any next of kin' the ambulance man asks, and Amy and I are sent off to knock on the door of the house. a little old lady answers it. She doesn't seem quite the full shilling but we discover the owner was her brother and we break it to her as gently as possible that unfortunately he is now dead. She immediately grabs a hold of my hand and with a look of deep disappointment on her face says to me
"Ah NO.....What is going to happen to the donkey"
THE END
P.S Several months later there were unconfirmed reports the donkey had been rescued by the Donkey Sanctuary0 -

That is so funny, all i can think of is the Benny Hill theme tune with the boys running after the donkey!
:eek::eek::eek: Are we reading the same story! That tale gave me nightmares! Especially this bit
It takes a lot to put me off my food, but this has suceeded in deterring me from the caramel slice I brought in to workcareer_move wrote: »The owner starts regurgitating stomach contents.

Well put me off my food for about 5 mins... takes more than that to make me waste a caramel slice 0 -
