Mmmm Butlers! That sounds like a plan!If you manage the 1000 miles considering the list of niggles you gave in your previous post, then never mind roses, you deserve a giant box of butlers chocolates!!
Your body is definitely trying to tell you something, my advice would be to listen to it.... If you are planning on running to the 1000 mile mark then make sure they are all easy runs on as flat a route as you can find. Then give your injuries TIME to heal!
To be fair, none of my aches are anything serious, they’re more niggly and annoying than anything else. They were particularly irking me on Saturday but that was a crap run in everyway anyway, I wouldn’t run through serious pain at all. But I do intend to book in for a good painful session with the physio in the first week of Jan.3 very windy miles done tonight, ran out Clontarf Rd towards Howth and back. Running towards Howth was a killer, wind coming off the sea felt like i was running on the spot at times. Got called a weirdo by few homeless dudes sleeping rough in Clontarf baths to, they may have been right!!

Agree killian, up, out the door and back by 7.30am this morning...hardly noticed the rain. Early morning running rocks

Nothing too serious at the moment!
A good Physio will tell you to get niggles sorted before they escalate into something more serious.
Jaysus, I sound like my father

Finally getting back to a running routine, 3 bouts of sickness since DCM have played havoc with my running. 2 short easy runs so far this week, feels good to be back out. I still have it in my head to do Limerick marathon so need to get my ass in gear. Plan of doing loads of running over Christmas and get back into full swing. Just ordered new running gear on wiggle 0

The plan this morning was to run this on the Dungarvan10 route but after the torrential rain last night miles 3 to 4 were badly flooded & as it is also quite awinding & busy road it was viable to run this stretch this morning.
Started off doing the 1st mile nice & slowly & took fea road parrallel to the flooded stretch of the Dungarvan10 route but being able to join the route at about the 5mile mark.
My target pace should be around 7:48 min per mile,for the 1st half mile of the speed session the garmin was really getting on my nerves telling me to speed up (even though I felt I was pushing it as much as possible),garmin range was set for a range between 7:50 & 7:20(very ambitious:D).Unlike my original planned route this route has a slight pull for a lot of the start then disaster,this road was flooded as well,no option really but to plough on through it(0.2miles long)water flying everywhere(legs are gonna chaff here & also just realised I hadn't covered ny nipples either,this was gonna be a session from hell:eek:))
The 3 mile section of this session just after I got back onto the Dungarvan route(average pace 7:43),ah a breather for 10 mins(so I thought)until the garmin started beeping at 5 mins,so off again.
A nice downhill for half a mile(down hill running not my forté) but the garmin is still telling me I'm going too slow:mad:, took about a half mile to get up tp pace to keep the mr. garmin happy but at this stage the brain wanted to push on but my soaked legs & feet were just not co-operating,finished this section just before I got back onto the n25 at the 8 mile mark(average 7:52 for ths section).
5 mins of a breather & off again,pushing on as hard as I could passed the turn off for the finish but still had under a mile to go,continued along the n25,0.3 miles to go & then a nice little hill,decided to push on & try not let the pace drop,the brain & legs joined forces to push me to the top when the watch eventually beeped:)(average pace 7:51),found a gate to lean against as at that stage my stomach was unsure what it really wanted to do,once stomach settled again continued to finsh off meno's planned session with a nice sloe cool down + had to another mile to get back to the car so total distance for the day 11.2 miles, meno's session 10.32miles in 1:26:00.
While the session was tough it really was enjoyable in a torturous kinda way;)
On The continuing theme of distances ran for the year,14 more to go to make 2,000 for the year
2000 MILES??!
Is that a typo? If not, you need to get out more

Hi All
Well done on all the super racing and training over the past few weeks. Brilliant going! Everyone def deserves a few box of chocolates over the hols
I've only been lurking the past couple of weeks cos I've been out of action myself. Been doing regular Physio sessions and have been doing all the stretches she's given me. The past 2 weeks I've been allowed run twice a week no further than 3miles at time. Thought at start how will I only stick going 3 but believe you me still having knee pain coming and going I was just about managing the 3. It's sickening seeing your fitness drop, been doing some stationary bike work but it just doesn't give ya the endorphins of being outside running. Plus cardio wise it's just not the same. I'm hoping to keep up the daily stretching and foam rolling over next few weeks and praying this might get me back doing some half decent mileage in the new year. 0 -
Seems the overwhelming consensus is for a new sheet for the new year. Next weeks sheet therefore will have 8 days in it to finish off the year.
New sheet will start off with a 6 day week and then into the standard 7 days afterwards. I will put in a column at the end for this years final totals so that they can be tracked and bettered at some point late next year. 0 -

Thanks PM, any update on the shin??
No real news other than I will have a fair few lbs to shift in the new year as well as I've been eating like I was still marathon training whilst not running
Had to cancel the doc at short notice last week and it's been crazy work wise so haven't rescheduled yet.
That said things are feeling better - leg has stopped throbbing and I'm only aware of it when I think about it so my thoughts at this stage are stay off it until the new year - that will have given it 8 weeks since DCM which is what a stress fracture would have required rest wise (and to be fair to physio the minimum time frame she told me I would be out for) Plan then is to ease back into it in early January. It's the perfect time of year to be out injured to be fair - missing the cold, icy dark and windy runs isn't the worst thing in the world. I had been toying with the idea of doing Cork this year but I think it might be too much too soon. Dublin is the priority for me. Either way - just looking forward to getting out there 0 -
