Easy enough run. The absence of the Garmin has not proved to be the great handicap that I had feared. I’m letting perceived effort be my guide lately and I’m enjoying the runs as much as ever before.

Easy run. I’m hoping to reach 500 miles for 2011 in the next week or so. Next target after that is the Raheny 5 Mile on 29th January, 2012. I did this race in 2010 and really enjoyed the course and atmosphere. I only missed it this year because of a bulging disc in my neck and a bout of the flu. After that I’m not too sure. The Dunboyne 4 Mile is a definite and I’ll try and make as many of the Meath races as I can.

Glad to get the extra bit of distance. I deliberately held back at the start of this run and felt much more comfortable in the latter kms. I think I’ve been pushing the early kms recently, causing me to slow as time goes on. That’s the worst part of feeling fresh at the start.

Passed the 500 mile mark for the year today.

My pace has been up and down over the past while. Some of these runs have been done without breakfast, some after a day off, others after a streak of 3 or 4 days in a row. Can’t see any definite pattern to it.

After my comment about yesterday’s run and pace I crack this one off. I didn’t realise how hard I was pushing it because I was too busy being distracted by the cold and sleet and gales! Only copped it when I nearly puked at the top of the hill on the last loop.

A nice steady run. Physio tonight on my hip/thigh. Trying to stretch the “normal” runs out a bit week by week and add a tad onto the long run also for good measure. Need to be putting in at least 20 mile weeks if I want to see the type of performance improvements I was getting last year pre-marathon. At the moment they are around the 15 – 16 mile mark.

I was feeling a bit stiff and sore after the physio session last evening so took it real easy on this one. The pace was grand enough, it’s the mental barrier I’m battling at the moment. I had gotten used to churning out 5Km runs and pushing on beyond that ain’t easy, particularly as I'm doing 1Km laps of the field.

Every so often, when you are feeling down and are wondering why the h*ll you even bother, one of these runs comes along to remind you just why. Ignore the pace, I just felt like I was actually running again. A light step, easy breathing, focus, determination. Somedays it’s just good to run :D

Fifth day in a row. Longest running streak in ever so long… Rest day tomorrow. There is a Goal Mile in Athboy in the morning but I’m resisting it manfully.

This is probably the longest weekly mileage of the entire year. I’m getting regular physio for my hip/thigh and it has definitely improved. Happy Christmas everyone :)
