    Nice to see you back posting, I hope you are feeling much better :) It sounds like a painful injury to have.

    Nice afternoon for a trot. Brought the pooches for a bit of company. Need to get the mind around to stitching a couple of these laps together. It’s more mental than physical at this stage.

    A nice run after work. Feels good to be getting out a bit more consistently again. Hope to get out 4 times this week.

    2 x 3Km. I’m trying not to obsess about pace or distance. The focus is on getting out regularly and building up slowly. The thoughts of having 2 races coming up in March is niggling at me but I intend to treat them as faster training runs with company. :D

    2 x 3Km. Mentally just wasn’t at the races. A late night last night coupled with a long day yesterday at a squad session in Tullamore, all taking their toll.

    A 4-day week at last. :) The previous one was in December, with another one last October. Explains a lot about where I am right now. :rolleyes:

    While in theory this was just a walk, it wasn’t that much slower than my marathon pace so I’m claiming it for training purposes. :D I went out to double-check the measurement of the road race route for the 17th March.

    The tactic of focusing on covering the distance rather than pace is paying off. Have decided to knock running the 5 Mile Race next week on the head. I won’t do myself any justice and it will only add to the stress of the day. I’ll continue to gradually increase mileage over the next few weeks; hopefully getting 5 runs in this week. With 3 weeks to the Dunboyne 4 Mile that will be the next “training run with company”.

    I don’t expect to back to the stage I was at last September/October until May/June of this year. From there I can target some races and hopefully bring down my 5K and 10K times.

    Had to cut this run short due to an anaphylactic attack. Foolishly had a snack about an hour and a half before the run. Felt it coming on and bailed on the run to down some anti-histamines. Took about an hour for the symptoms to subside. Was supposed to be 8Km.

    Still, a 5-run week so can’t complain too much.

    It had been nearly a week since the last jaunt. Definitely didn’t feel the love of the last run. Was tied up with last-minute stuff for the road race and a weekend away in Manchester with No. 1 son so hadn’t been out since last Tuesday.

    Race Report

    6.51Km in 46:39 (7:10 min/Km) Dunboyne 4 Mile Road Race, Dunboyne, Co. Meath

    A glorious day for a race. I wasn’t terribly confident going into this. I hadn’t raced since DCM 2010 and with the lack of pace recently and the lack of training I was hoping to just finish sub-50 mins. This is a lovely course for anyone looking for a decent time over 4 miles.

    It’s amazing what a race will bring out of you. While this is the slowest Dunboyne race I have ever done, I am delighted with the pace I managed to find from somewhere.

    Easily impressed then :D:D:D

    The start of the Meath Race League sneaked up on me so had to jump into Dunboyne and Mullaghmeen off of b*gger all proper training. Have about 4 weeks till the next event.

    Edit: those of a nervous disposition need not look at the attached elevation profile from Mullaghmeen
