I love those mind games - its amazing how running can be as much of a mental game as a physical one.
Thank you for commenting on my training which is, of course, why I've half resurrected the log (and not to discuss our Digger's procrastination on all things life important!)
The mind games can be right feckers with any number of possible outcomes depending on the mood / tiredness / hunger / work and life stresses on a given day. Great when you can overcome them but not always possible. Had a bad 12 miler a few Sundays back and had to take a moment to compose myself after nearly bursting into tears after 5 miles!!
Just in from an easy 10 miler with the adopted Stew - very enjoyable as he was in quite good form and not at all grumpy and angry... Either that, or I worked him too hard!

I'm Glad you found it easy. That's the fastest I've ran in a month!!
Ref the lack of grumpiness: for once I wasn't hungover and we were in the more familiar and comfortable surroundings of Tallaght 0 -

Re AMK and your point about mind games - I can relate. The "Dusch" as you call him had me running an 8 and 5 today. I could barely stomach the 8, was so horrible- the 5 was like a completely different day... Sometimes it's just about perseverance, which you have in spades!0 -

Hi all!
CL here...Kindly posting under the guise of Mr Digger. I probably should have posted a closing comment but 20/20 hindsight vision etc etc. The reasons for my departure from Boards are pretty simple and straightfoward and (fortunately / unfortunately?!) none other than it's not really part of my life anymore.
I haven't shut up shop in a moment of anger or passion over anything in particular. The trash banter on my log was around for a long time; it's just that previously there were regular training and racing updates interspersed therewith! It will take a lot more than closing my Boards Account to be free from everything that goes on the logs - far too many of you have my contact details and know where I live to make getting away in any way easy
When I first started posting, my log was a motivator to keep me on the straight and narrow. I no longer need the pressure of having to log a run to make sure I get out and training. Running is now 100% a part of my daily life - right up there with eating and sleeping.
I spend all day in work sitting down the computer all day with no access to Boards (and no time to faff even if I did) and I rarely sit down with the internet in the evenings. I struggle these days to even keep the coach updated on my daily training! So when I wasn't logging, whether for my own or readers' interest, I didn't see the point in keeping it alive. My log was never of the calibre of some others where readers would actually gain something from a training point of view so I don't think it'll be overly missed in that regard...
I also don't contribute to the main forum in any meaningful way so I'm happy to revert to being a lurker and continue to keep tabs on everyone else whilst skulking away into the background.
The A/R forum has been and is a super resource and I've built some super friendships from my time as an active poster but for the time being, I'm calling it a day. I may be back in a couple of months when I'm twiddling my thumbs looking for distractions and missing the trash talk but right now there aren't enough hours in the week to continue my double life
I'll take the opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the last few years. I'm sure I'll still see you guys the whole time at races and beery social mile events so you're not really rid of me! Best of luck to everyone in their endeavours and may you all continue to train well and race hard.
Yours in running,
claralara

Digger has never gotten so many 'thanks' in his life. He normally just posts a load of sh1t :pac:
We are back to the kind of conversation that made CL close her account in the first place
Anyway, wtf were you doing up at the time you posted this.... You've been running 10 minute miles recently and you're pacing a 1:40 half at the weekend... You need your sleep!!:D 0
