Thanks AMK, I could improve if I knuckle down, next big target is to get the HM under 1:40 in March!

37 miles last week.
Monday
6 miles easy, legs were nt bad once I got going but I got drowned in a shower of hail. This week is going to be very hectic so what ever I get done is a bonus. After this week I will be back to adding in the HMP miles( God help ye, prepare for moaning) and hope to use the park run to improve my speed a bit!

Oh you were thinking of doing kinvara were you?? And you'll probably
bring your running buddy with you

A fair enough course, and would expect you to do well there...

With the way Bulmers and SfM are going, you'll be a busy man baking that weekend.

Great course for a PB too from what I hear.

That older boy you refer to has mentioned elsewhere he's doing Bohermeen that weekend! The reality is though he could be in Timbuktu tomorrow and doesn't have a clue where he'll be come March

Tuesday
10 mile soggy miles! I headed for the woods for a bit of shelter and at mile 8 came across about 12 cattle hiding in the trees, very strange! I think it's a sign of snow or a broken fence.

Mayo cattle must be taking performance drugs, Galway cattle can't climb to hide in trees, they usually hide around or under them

It's the bad land in Mayo, they have to learn to climb to get to the leaves! Those Galway cattle have it easy!

Thursday
5 miles with strides, avg pace 8 min/mile.
It was a bonus to get out this evening as time is at a premium this week! And Thank The Lord the wind had died down!

DarByrne1980 · 11-12-2014 9:46pm

I was firmly put in my box when talking about the terrible weather yesterday. I said to my father who is near 80 that it was too bad to run. He replied "it was breezy alright but I got my walk in". He walks 6 miles everyday! I will have to get to the woods at the weekend to investigate the cattle situation!

SamforMayo · 12-12-2014 6:02pm

Friday
4 miles steady, another bonus run as I did nt think I'd get out at all. Got caught in a shower of hailstones, ouch! HAve nt thawed yet!
