Usually am busy on a Tuesday night with another hobby not running related ... imagine that !! so heading home from this along the coast and seeing that gorgeous sunshine decided to head out as Ive a busy week ahead of me. Met up with a running buddy and up to the park and a few loops on the new path 6 miles easy avg pace 10.25 enjoyed this splits 10.52,10.23, 9.57, 10.14,10.22, 10.43

Rest day.
Thurs 2nd June
Black tie event with work Thursday night so decided to get up a stupid o'clock for this one, so up at 6 am and drove into work parked up and headed for Merrion Gates. Stomach had been acting up the night before and I probably shouldnt have run as 2 miles in and my stomach started to cramp up, the pace was shocking and I felt crap. Turned at Merrion Gates onto Sandymount coast what a beautiful morning, the intention was to get some strides in but thought that would just be silly based on how I was feeling. This was a very slow run and really only got the miles in. But a beautiful morning all the same loads of runners out. 4 miles easy avg pace 10.56 splits, 10.55,10.55, 10.58, 10.59 at least it was consistent.
Friday 3rd June
Getting too old for late nights any more and with the event the night before and getting to bed at 2am and up for work and still some packing to do this run was kicked to touch. I know Im a disgrace.
Saturday 4th June
50th park run milestone today so headed to St Annes for this where Mrs KennyG went all out with the milestone celebrations with feather bowas, 50 badges and Nifty at fifty sashes oh yeah and a 50 balloon. Was a lovely morning and I joined Toulouse, PJD and MuphD for a leisurely trot around the park. Kept Murph company on his loosen out the legs before the marathon run and we had a good owl natter around the course. What a lovely start to the holidays, finishing off with coffee, cake, more cake and wait for it this is where Mrs KennyG really pulled out the stops and Bucks Fizz was also opened to celebrate my milestone !! Ferris, Murph and KennyG are all in good spirits and have the look of pre marathoners looking trim and fit all ready for Monday. All the best lads hopes its a good one for you. So my mileage this week has been pretty poor only 13 miles done, I should be like himself who has just headed out for another run to get the miles in before we head off on our hols this evening. But I'm all packed and ready to go, taxi not coming for another hour and a half, so getting my boards update done. Packed the running gear and will hopefully get a few miles in on hols.0 -

After the 50th park run celebrations it was off to the airport for the fam holiday to Croatia. Packed the running gear and the plan was to try a hit the 20 mikes for the week but with shorter runs just to keep the legs moving fitness up and lbs off as wine has become part of my 5 a day this week ... Well it is a fruit no ???
Did two days with FBOT first day the full 4 miles as I was not born with an inner sat nav like M and would be sure to get lost. Nice easy pace bit of sightseeing and chat. 2nd day did the first 2 miles with FBOT and doubled back to get my 4 miles confident now I wouldn't get lost .... Well let's just say I eventually got back with just one maybe two slight diversions !!!
Day 3 off by myself confident now of my route which goes around the resort by the sea fab views and a nice path to aid those afraid of getting lost. One slightly iffy bit that I didn't like where the pace went to 9.30 so I could get through it quickly particularly when a local man decided to stop for a pee at the side of the path ! 4 miles completed !
Day 4 same route again which Strava now tells me I am doing progressively faster not really hard as sightseeing pace is nice n slow ! Decided I would greet everyone this morning and was suitably impressed when nearly all runners and walkers greeted me back. Felt I had spread some cheer on the overcast morning 4 miles done
Day 5 suitably impressed with the cleaners in the complex this morning sweeping the leaves off the path of a tree lined path didn't really make sense but admired their determination. Was very disappointed with my greeting task this morning with 7 failed attempts at getting hellos or international grunts resembling good morning back until two Irish ladies saved the day and greeted me with a cheery good morning !
Weekly mileage 20.4 miles pace easey peasey sightseeing holiday pace that got progressively faster over the 5 days so all good. I haven't forgotten how to run 0 -
