zero tabs anyone
I've done Rice Krispie buns with the kids?
Seriously Nules zero tabs is the best you can do...if Mr Slow can arrive with Rice Krispie cakes, you need to raise your game
Now I'm a "don't bake, won't bake" kinda gal so when it's my turn, expect High 5 gels (or shop bought goodies)

Ladies and gents this morning is a significant moment. As it's my last day in work for the year (love saying that). I've decided it's also my last morning I'll have a Starbucks Grande Coffee and dirty big scone.
I've decided to forego my run this evening as system still very dodgy so can have coffee, scone and chocolate today but then that's it...
It'll be chocolate and coffee cold turkey and all for the sake of running :rolleyes:
Starbucks it's time bid adieu; you and I had a great run together (excusing the pun) but time to part...sob, sob. I'm off to drain my coffee cup now!
I've recently started drinking coffee again just to help with the fatigue but I hadn't had any in over a year and had twice the get up and go in the morning that I had when depending on it!

Just you wait, it'll be non alcoholic mojitos next!
Now that's just daft, there's a limit to what I will give up for running and alcoholic mojitos are def not on that list not a chance. Hell will freeze over quicker
You know me too well :rolleyes:Hello?! the coffee monster is drinking green tea!!! She already pm'd me to say she's given up her subscription to the Chippendales fan club!
I replaced the Chippendales subscription with the Prof Male Swimming Appreciation Society...much better and it is Olympic year after all 0 -

Long Run
Met up with the gang in the park this morn. First few miles I felt great and was really enjoying it and then at about mile 5 going back up chesterfield, it was like a switch flicked and I was really struggling. Legs felt tired probably after yesterdays session and just couldn't get into a rhythm. Everyone seemed to be struggling at this point but we continued on to finish out the planned mileage. Of course we had to watch jcsmum doing her laps of the car park - fair play to you on that mileage
Toughest run I've had in a while I will admit but good to get used to running on tired legs.
Plan: 8.5
Actual: 8.53
Time: 1:25:39
Avg Pace: 10:020 -

I hate that part of the park. Have a look at the profile though and you might be surprised how uphill it is compared to how it looks.
Any races planned yet?0 -

Hey Shaz, great running today. Was only thinking that the last time I ran with you was way back in around July. Too long! You were flying along from the word go. Bring on next wkd 0 -

:eek: I went and had a look there P, you're right and I didn't realise it dragged like that. No excuse though really for the bad form there :rolleyes:Great training recently Shaz, delighted to see it going well for you again. Any race plans? Running or cycling?
Cheers
Not sure on the cycling yet, will look out for a few of the smaller distance sportifs to dip my toe into the cycling events or maybe a duathlon.
As for running, Raheny prob the next one up but haven't done a race in ages so that'll be more about getting back into that frame of mind. Then a half in May which is tbd but probably Limerick as I heard the pacers are goodsunflowerRo wrote: »Hey Shaz, great running today.

Aye I know it's been an age since I was out running with you, hopefully plenty to come in 2012. Good to see you on the logs.0 -

Swim
Yes I am about to log my first swim and nope I have no plans for a tri and you'll why in 2 seconds :rolleyes:
New Years resolution is to get at least 1 swim in per week so thought it was about time I started this week. No word of a lie but it's been about 8 years since I've been in a pool for a swim session. Sunshine dips surrounded by drinks don't count!!
Holy crap but this was woeful and far from the graceful return to the pool I had hoped for. I suppose I have to start somewhere.
Swim: 750m
Time: 30 mins
...and this is why I am not doing a tri0 -

Fair play, I went for a swim recently and was made aware very quickly that I wasn't as fit as I thought!
I know it was a shock to the system alright. Especially since I had some old timers flying past me...not good for the ego. Although you'd think I'd be used to that from runningEEk! My best time for 750m is 38 mins:o:o:o My aim is to be able to do it in 30 mins!!!
Cmon here don't let that time fool you. I was the colour of those purple icons when I finished and was able for nothing else. I will have to slow it right down to pick up some form again and work on my front crawl. I looked like an idiot thrashing around...also didnt help I kept my contacts in so I could see where I was going but couldn't put the head in the water of course :rolleyes:
I found a beginners tri swimming plan online to am going to follow that to build up again. It's tough work!
You're doing great with you swimming though and definitely going about your plan in the right way. Sub 30 here you come 0 -
thats a pretty good session for your first time in the pool since you were 20Mon Jan 9th
