My shins were pretty achey but not painful so that's something. I hope they hold up for 16 miles tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to it. And apart from the shins, everything else is feeling great. Fingers crossed. I'm off to pray to every God I can think of!
You'll be fine. Chin up

You wouldn't believe just how much I wish I could say the same thing. Injury has definitely improved though, no pain from 3 hours of walking around the Dundrum centre surely has to count for something... :pac:0 -

No physical pain anyway...:rolleyes:
I was there for 3 hours last saturday - 2 and a half were spent eating and drinking coffee despite my best intentions to shop and stop showing up to work dressed like a tinker

Sunday 6th Februaury
- 16.4 miles – approx 2hrs35
Left my garmin in the office this weekend so I had to rely on my coaches to go the distance for me. Cheers lads!:)
Lesson: an 8 week old baby is not conducive to marathon training. I fed her and dumped her on my mum saying that I was ‘just nipping over to the park for a run – won’t be long’... mwah ha ha!! Don’t panic people – she’s not mine, I’m a mere aunty. I just forgot when I offered to babysit last night that that would write off Sunday morning as well as Saturday night. Thank god for grannies!
Met MrSlow bright and early in perfect running conditions (:rolleyes:) that had had me struggling to keep the car on four wheels on the M50. To say I was not looking forward to getting out of the car is an understatement. It was very windy out there! Found the first 3 pretty tough but settled down after. Picked up Chinguetti and the Wexican after 6.5miles/1hour ish. The lads acted as a three-strong wind breaker for me a few times for which I was very grateful. I think we hit the S-bends into the wind at mile 13/14 which I found tough as hell! Chinguetti asked me how I was feeling at that point – there were few words that could describe it...and I don’t know him well enough to let that side of me rip to him just yet! The wind was behind us for the last mile thank god. My shins behaved (yaay) but my poor legs were all tuckered out by then – there was certainly no sprint finish in them. Took a gel at 10 miles – I didn’t feel like I needed it at the time but I’d say I would have suffered later had I not.
Longest run ever for claralara. I’m delirah to have 16 miles under my belt – I was like a giddy schoolgirl when I got home! It now feels like my legs have disassociated themselves from my body but hopefully they’ll be grand again after a rest tomorrow. Whether I can blame this feeling on the 16miles or the champers I’ve been drinking all evening is another question... My other brother got engaged – everyone is wondering when I’m going to do something worthwhile...if only they knew of these Connemara plans of mine!:eek: 0 -

Any sign of the poor dude yet?! I saw something flying by my window this morning - could have been a yellow balloon, could have been a high viz wexican...:rolleyes:Well done missus. Sorry I couldn't make it, I got the opportunity of a rare lie-in and I took it.
It would have been rude not to! 0 -

It was only after leaving ye that I thought what the hell am I doing facing into this wind again, there has to be better ways to spend a Sunday:(0 -
A busy day topped off with a bird crapping on my face as I walked into a meeting...if one more person tells me it's good luck, there will be a 4 inch heel swiftly booted where the sun don't shine! That is all.Cool, are you up for a group run on saturday then? RK I assume you will be up for your 22 miler then too? I have managed to nab next Saturday off work so I am defiantely up for a long run on either saturday/sunday.
Also we are doing some speed stuff on tuesday in UCD gain if you're interested...
Defo up for Saturday alright. I could even try stretch it to 17.5 if I was challenged...
Heading to the cinema after work tomorrow so I have the alarm set for 6am for a pre-work run. I'll pencil in the track for next week though if you're doing it.The Wexican wrote: »It was only after leaving ye that I thought what the hell am I doing facing into this wind again, there has to be better ways to spend a Sunday:(
Surely not! I'm gonna mix it up a bit and spend next sunday in a pub pretending to be interested in some sore of team sport - I doubt it'll come close to the joy of that gale force beating! :rolleyes: I didn't envy you heading off though I must admit. Nice to meet you and cheers for getting me around - I hope my slowness provided a nice easy warm up! 0 -

Did anyone get a picture? I'd pay to see that!An extra 40 minutes in bed wouldn’t have made me feel as good as getting out for a run did. (
There are endorphins to be had there too you know 0 -

Yeah it’s only the left one that has pain. It’s like an inflammation as opposed to an ache. It’s weird though – last Wednesday it got sore while I was running in the morning and it was sore even when resting so I didn’t run until Saturday night when I did a slow 4 miles and both shins were a bit achey then. But then on Sunday I did just over 16 mile and they were grand, not a bother. They were fine again on Tuesday when running and just randomly got that pain in my left one again yesterday doing absolutely nothing. I had a physio appointment booked for Monday morning anyway but they’ve put me on the cancellation list for today so hopefully I’ll get a call.
I didn’t run last night and instead went for dinner and to the cinema (again!) and ate my way through enough popcorn and maltesers to feed a large nation.
I think I’m going to be a very sensible girl and take a week off running. If I do an hour on the X trainer or a spinning class everyday for the week and then run next Thursday and hopefully be back on form for a good long run next weekend. Is this a wise idea? God I wish I knew more. I must get a few books to read.
In any event I know I need a new pair of runners so that is high priority on the to-do list this weekend.chinguetti wrote: »Personally if i had a sore shin, i'ld rest it tonight and see how it is tomorrow and try 4 miles then. So sit on couch, leg up and ice on the shin for 20 mins. Do some stretching for 10 mins and repeat this twice. Also double bill of CSI NY on tonight:D
Cheers, good advice.
BTW, CSI is so 2010. Criminal minds all the way!:cool:0 -
Wait and see what the physio says before you opt out for a full week, your runners could be the issue (wear and tear might be making your foot fall incorrectly straining the shin), go and get reassessed for new runners rather than buying a newer generation of your current ones.
All of that extra weight you'll be carrying after last night won't help 0 -

Agree with Mr Slow for a change :eek:
Deffo go to a running shop before getting new runners and make sure you are still in the right ones. gaits can change with time and you might need more/less support in your shoes.
Also you have to differentiate between niggles and injuries. Niggles you can run through and if we all stopped running when we had niggles in marathon training there would be very little training done :pac:
After a while you'll be able to tell yourself when something is serious and when it's not. Wait to see what the physio says before writing the week off completely, if you don't get an appointment today you could try just a very easy few miles to test the waters with the shins.0 -
