    Might do worse than link to this from the Meet and Run thread on the main forum, or else just mention the plan (it's not my plan, or I'd do it myself). Might try and make it in to the Park myself this weekend, just to put faces on "names", so I know who to look out for down in Galway :)

    Yeah, we will put it up on the Group training thread once we agree to a definate time and place.

    Sunday 3rd April - 10am Papal Cross car park - 10 miles - 9.30 / 10 pace. Sorry lads that's all I'll be able to manage pace wise if I want my legs to work in Connemara. So I may only get a hello in before you all sprint off in the wilderness :D

    There's nothing some of those lads like more than the wilderness in the Phoenix Park...It's where they get most of their action!

    Tuesday 29th March
    - 3.57miles - Av Pace 8.45
    Oops..this was supposed to be a 3 X 10 min/mile recovery... The legs felt good though so just went with it. I'll have to not do that on these shorter runs despite the temptation - I'll end up falling off the kerb and spread eagled on the N11 while an articulated lorry runs over me and then reverse for good measure just to make sure I'll be out of Conn!

    Digger loves running off into the wilderness in the phoenix park, especially with young french men ;)

    Pace is whatever suits the group. It can be anything from 8-10 min/mile depending on who shows up. We're an all inclusive bunch :cool:

    I'm doing 16 (10 @ 8:30) but don't know whether it'll be Sat or Sun yet.

    Act your age!


    Was out and about yesterday evening and didn’t get home til after 10. I wanted to go for a run but apparently that when all the psychos come out… I dunno though, from what I could see on the logs, everyone here had their run done for the day so I reckon I would have been pretty safe!

    This morning the alarm went off for a pre-work run but I was actually too terrified to go out in that weather in case I had some sort of freak accident like getting blown into a concrete wall or having a tree fall down on top me! Tonight…

    I’m getting very nervous… If the pack of butterflies that have shacked up in my stomach could make their departure anytime soon, that would be much appreciated!

    Pah ha ha ha ha!! I nearly put myself out of the game for Conn after falling on the floor at that... I wish! :rolleyes:

    Thursday 31st March
    - 7.14 miles - Av Pave 9.32
    This was only supposed to be 5miles but I ended up going a bit ar5e about face because I wanted to get Cornelscourt Hill in - which I did. And then down and back up Glenamuck Road. Hills are my friend..:D Little twinge in the knees on the uphill but nothing to worry about. Nice and easy tonight and I loved every step, twas wonderful - only 19 more to add on...:eek:

    I was in such a rush to get out and back before the psychos tonight that I forgot to take off my jewellery... A garmin and a watch on the same wrist is a surprisingly good look..:rolleyes:

    Well are we tapering and going mad yet? Have you the bountiful energy of wanting to run forever and having to stop yourself from doing so?

    Oh sure last night I thought I could have run the distance there and then. I considered going for it and staying out all night. Just another regular Thursday night so...

    Ah poor Digger, don't you realise we are all part of Claralara's secret life where she runs and enjoys the company of people who don't have butlers, she couldn't possibly acknowledge you for fear of being lambasted by her peers - 'Oh my God, do you loike know someone who drives their own car?', 'Of course not, he's probably the gardener or some other loike slave we own, I'll make sure Torquine has him whipped for his insolence' :D

    Jaysus, you can't do anything around here! You wouldn't want to be having any illicit secret affairs anyway!

    But yes that was me, I stupidly agreed to meet an old acquaintance who struggles with intelligent conversation to say the least! I couldn't even have a glass of wine to get me through it. The food was good though! :)
