14-12-2011 4:44pm#1I wasn’t going to start this till Jan but as some of you pointed out…no time like the present….and as I nearly got frostbite on my face:eek: yesterday out running i decided I’m now a real runner so time to start logging……so here it goes.
I’m 39 yr old female …. ok nearly 40 (jan1st):eek:, full time working mother of 3 who started running 2.5 yrs ago….hadn’t the patience to keep up walking as I was going nowhere…slowly:rolleyes:……so started jogging to get around my lunchtime 3m walk a bit faster. I had run as nipper in a club from u8 – u14 and then gave it up.
I have done a few races over the past 2 yrs and hope to keep plugging away at the times and see if I can improve them.
I hope the fact that I have this log will keep me motivated and that all you guys that have experience will point out my bad habits (and good if there’s any)
I find that if i'm following a plan its easier for me to get out running..
At the moment the current PB's are
times so far are
Distance| 5k | 4m |10KM |10m |13.1m | 26.2 |
Time| 25.38| 33.40 | 54.00 |92.12| 1.57| 4.27|
Date| Dec 2011| Sept 2010 |May 2010| Aug 2011| Sept 2011|Oct 2011
Aims| 25.00|32.00|52.00|90.00|1.50| 3.59.59|
Sort term goals...to get out running over the Christmas and New Year:D
Rough race plan....
Races: St Stephens Day - Paddy Hyland Memorial 10k Navan
29th Jan - Raheny 5m (this will be my first 5m race....)
3rd March - Meath Spring half marathon
16th May - Simon Cumber & Paddy Hyland 6k Road Race Navan
9th June - Patrick Bell Memorial 5k Road Race & Fun Race Bohermeen
4th July - South O'Hanlon 5k Road Race South O'Hanlon Senchelestown GAA Centre
So that will keep me going trying to follw this little plan and then we'll take it from there......probably throw in DCM 2012 as well...but will wait and see nearer the time!!!
Any tips/advice always welcome
But at the moment i am enjoying the running and i think thats the whole point of it...health & fitness is just a bonus!!!:D18

7.38@9.57/164bpm
I enjoyed this. I love the fact that i'm getting a bit of variety into the training and its not all just slow joging for x number of miles!!!:D
Wednesday 21 December
Plan was 5m easy without looking at garmin and just go with the flow
But this ended up to be a very difficult run for a number of reasons
1. not properly hydrated (especially as i had a drink or 2
last night while wrapping presents) so was sweating plenty too
2. didn't eat properly this morning
3. went a different route and it was quite challenging going up sneaky inclines in the very strong wind
4. had to keep talking to myself to stop myself from walking - as i had no-one to blame except myself i just had to put the head down and work at it.....
5 having gone a route i hadn't used before the run ended up longer that the plan....
Having said all that , i started to enjoy the run from about 3.5 m mark
and the stats don't reflect the difficulty i was feeling
Overall it was - 5.8m in 58.00 avg pace 9.58/167
Breakdown
m1=10.04/151
m2=9.54/160
m3=10.17/169
m4=10.11/162
m5=9.50/157
m6(.82)=9.26/169
Lessons learned....must drink water and plan route:D0 -

Didn't get out again today but have to say i'm feeling a bit under the weather with pains in my back and tightening in my chest so afraid a chest infection might be starting so will probably take the next few days off and see how i'm feeling Sunday...might manage the easy 3m on the plan!!!!
BTW how do i post a Garmin link????
Happy New Year to everyone!!! May all your Dreams for 2012 come true...both running & personal!!!0 -
F40 how does it feel.
Hope you had a great birthday yesterday Anne. Sorry we never made it out, still fairly sick here. Hope ya didn't get that chest infection in the end, it's no fun. Hopefully we'll all hook up for a drink when everything gets back to normal.
PS highlight the words garmin link, then click on the globe icon in the message window. A URL box pops up, just paste the garmin link in there and hit ok. Bobs your uncle.0 -

Hi Neil, i hope you are feeling better soon and can get back on the road....
i managed to stay away for a day or two but only because i started feeling so much worst and had to go see GP
I have ear, throat & chest infections ( and i suspect a kidney one now also) so won't be doing any running for at least another week. Doc said it was fine to run but i really wouldn't have the energy as the body is using all the energy to fight the infections...only the last two days have i lost the interest in trying to get out for a run so think the body was telling me HTFU:eek:
Mileage for this year...I would love to get to 1000m and don't see why not if i keep training like December...i had 4 good weeks continous mileage similar to pre DCM so just need to pick it up a bit when i get settled again in a week or so!!!0 -
