BACK FOR GOOD

specialk1977

Ok so its time I start my own trainign log..I really enjoyed reading all your logs while I trained for the dcm ,they kept my motivation going..So bless me father its been 9 weeks since my last run..As i mentioned earlier I did my first ever marathon in Dub 2010 nad did the worst thing ever..I stopped runnin..not even a mile..I ate all round me and drank copious amounts of alcohol so now its time to start afresh..New Year New Me
My goal for 2011 is to do de limerick marathon but if Im not ready id like to try Cork and also the diamond adventure race is looking appealing..sure we see how it goes..

So 1st run of the new year 8k in 40 mins...really tough one ...it can only get easier:D

3 miles today..im a bit stiff from saturdays run but plenty of stretching shud solve it

specialk1977

4 miles done in 48 mins..again another tough one..im looking forward till this time next month when 4 miles will be a doddle

specialk1977

Good to see you're not just a one timer! The one thing I used to hate when I got injured playing rugby was the the road back to fitness! 8k on your first outing - good work. All the best with the training!

specialk1977

Thanks pokerface for your words of encouragement..have to agree the road back to fitness is a long one but Il get there eventually
4.5 miles today in 48.41..had to be very carefull today as the paths were icy this morning..good run though..had to stop 2 time for a walkin break ..beautifull morning for a run

You have had a great first week! Well done.
Is a lovely morning out, lots of runners out this morning as I was doing taxi for the kids. Hoping it is nice again tomorow!
Road back to fitness tough, but 2nd week not as hard as 1st one I say!

You are getting good consistent runs in, which will soon become easier, as you find your pre DCM fitness coming back. Best of luck with your 2011 goals.

Hi Rubyk, I just cant believe how de fitness goes so fast but Im getting there..Im hoping by the end of this month ill be gettin in some decent LSR
