The plan today called for 4/7 easy miles am/pm. Was gonna be very busy today and working again later this evening so I decided to just do the 7 miles easy over a rolling route. Beautiful morning for a run, crisp and dry with no wind and a backdrop of the 12 Pins mountains capped with snow.
Puttered along nicely and ended up doing 11 miles at 8.05 pace.
The rectus thingy has subsided considerably but the right hip flexor is giving me a bit of jip, time to visit my sadistic masseuse

Plan today called for a 4 mile Nursing Home Special.
Got another pre work massage to try and iron out the remaining stubborn stiffness and got out after work to get the run done.
Nice stretch in the evening now and that's great for Boggers as I won't need the head torch as much. (Doesn't effect ye big schmoke merchants as much running under the city letric!)
First time in ages that I've done a recovery run and haven't felt like I was in the throes of rigor mortis
Got 5 miles done @ 9.27
Entered the Bohermeen half

Stop your muck stirrin! I'll take the bait ...
...At least all my linen is out for public view J, we'd need MI6 to find out what that lad has been up to
And although it doesn't look like it, I'm probably giving him 10 years!

Plan today called for 9 miles steady. As I'm heading to London today I had to get this one in early or I'd have had to try it on the treadmill later in the hotel. (I can barely manage shorty easy runs on the treadmill don't mind steady!)
Despite my legs feeling better than they have in weeks, surprisingly my head and heart weren't really up for this (still recovering from the trauma of CM's retort over on her place) and after a couple of slow miles I resigned myself to running outside of my steady pace range.
After 3 slower miles the pace improved and I held it fairly steady to the end and given the slow start was happy with the way it finished.
Did a half mile shuffle cool down for 9.5 miles total.
Splits:
7.39
7.36
7.38
7.21
7.21
7.22
7.17
7.23
7.05

Haha Madam Dora!
However at my age I should be more worried about incontinence spits than inconsistent splits

Flew into Dublin this evening and unusually the plane was a fair bit early.
Long day today and I didn't really have any motivation to run, got to the hotel around 7 and got a room upgrade, was gonna cosy up on the bed with the tray of complimentary chocolates but begrudgingly I put on the gear and grumbled my way out the door. Probably wouldn't have bothered but the magically mystery sessions continue tomorrow and I didn't want to be making excuses why I wimped out!
Staying in Stephens Green so I headed up by the canal and followed the Luas line till I hit 4 miles and turned. Got 8 miles in @ 8.19. Total for day 12.
Have to try and get all the runs in as I might be travelling a fair bit more with work over the next 3 weeks. Today I luckily narrowly avoided the short straw of a week in Chennai in India!

Today the magical mystery tour continued with a visit to Tymon Park.
I usually dread these sessions coz they tend to hurt!
When Salmon Eile appeared at his front door I briefly mistook him for Rudolph Nureyev coz he was wearing very tight tights
If an indigenous Bogger appeared outdoors like that the local Sheriff would have you done for public indecency
I was relieved to hear that the session didn't involve the splits or pirouettes but rather 2.7 miles @ MP, 1 km steady, 2 .7 miles @ MP.
After a 2 miles warm up we started the first MP segment, I couldn't believe how hard I was struggling at the beginning and thought I'd never finish the session. Gradually got into it and settled down. The second MP segment felt a lot more comfortable and I was told to reign it in a bit towards the end as the sessions objective was a MP effort.
Finished feeling pretty ok so very happy with that, feel like I'm in good shape with over 9 weeks to Boston. The pace for the steady km didn't drop down to dramatically either.
Kept an eye out for the Turd & Grasshopper on one of their ninja training sessions but again no confirmed sightings
Finished with 1.5 cool down, for 9.5 miles in total.
Splits:
Rep 1: 6.45, 6.38, 6.40 (pace for the .7)
Steady km: 7.10
Rep 2: 6.49, 6.40, 6.36

1 big lap around the park with the steady km on a smaller lap around the "lake"
How did your ninja session go?
TbL
No ninjas were involved!!
I do an MP 'temposih' session every tuesday which fits in well with the club tempo run. I don't get a personal guide though

Today the plan called for the 4 mile Nursing Home special.
Got 4 miles done before work nice and easy @ 9.48.
Got another massage at lunchtime and she was digging so much into my groin I thought she was trying to plant daffodils At one point she slipped of a spasming muscle and very nearly did damage! John Thomas got the fright of his life and sounded the full retreat bugle, the one piece of equipment I never thought I'd require for a massage was a cricket cup
Did 4 miles very easy to shake out the legs after work.
Total miles 8

Plan today called for 4/9 miles easy am/pm.
Today called for some logistics planning to get the runs in as Mrs TbL and eldest daughter were having a day and overnight girlie bonding session.
Got up early enough and switched the runs around getting 8 miles in @ 8.18 before breakfast coz I had the two younger lads and wasn't sure that I'd get a pm run in!
Brought them to the cinema and the choice was either 50 Shades of Grey or Shaun the Sheep. The middle lad said he'd seen 50 Shades on a pirate download so Shaun the Sheep it was
Had to do some serious juggling and conniving to get the pm run, got 4 miles in @ 7.58, but ended up with an 11 year old nephew for a sleepover for my trouble. I won't be running early tomorrow!
12 miles for the day happy with that given the circumstances

Today the plan called for a bit of a session, 5/4/3 miles at easy/steady/pmp.
I knew yesterday that I wouldn't have time to get this done this morning and I was travelling to Dublin in the afternoon, hate running any type of session in the dark as I'm so short sighted I find I expend to much effort watching my foot placement and can never seem to hit the planned pace.
Away again tomorrow so I couldn't really afford to miss this session and I didn't know of any decent well light route to do this on. Double D, Duannington very kindly agreed to be my escort on this and I waited like a hooker in a high viz vest outside Pearce Station for him.
Traffic was a bit mad and I was all over the place trying to avoid cars, bikes and pedestrians, DD told me to think of them as big sheep and cows and I was grand after that We headed out on the seafront to Clontarf for the easy miles and had a great chat and before I knew it we had done the 5 easy. I think we passed Yaboya but he seemed to be in the zone and glided by us in the opposite direction. Was enjoying the run at this stage and the pace was dipping below my steady pace. DD is in savage nick and he's gonna have some spectacular race results in the coming months. A train crossing meant we had to double back a bit and resulted in us doing an extra steady mile. We headed back onto the seafront pathway and what wind there was was slightly against us, we also had to contend with some lunatic who looked like he wanted to fight us and actually lashed out at DD! Truth be told the pace at this stage wasn't as easy as I thought it should be and I was starting to struggle. DD was continuing to chat away without any bother whereas I was conversing like a lad you'd see in the chipper on a Saturday night, after a dozen pints and with half a burger in his mouth and the other half on his shirt.
Told DD to push on for the last bit and he effortlessly flew ahead.
Finished with 2.5 miles warm down to bring the total to 15.5 miles.
Thanks for the hospitality DD you're a gent and I wouldn't have got the session done without you.
Splits for steady/PMP:
7.33
7.27
7.32
7.17
7.08
6.45
6.49
6.39
