I'll forgive you so for Not showing up on Saturday.
You're allowed to be sick I guess.....?????:D hmmmmm
Eh thanks for the benefit of the doubt there K, but sat morn was def a self inflicted illness...:(.
Anyway sure it's not as if I would have seen the pair of you anyway judging by the last attempt so I opted to watch 30 men running around a field instead

You are such a man!
...never mind him Shaz. Take it easy and listen to your body! Take time off if you need it. listen to mammy now! :rolleyes:
Lol, unfortunately I usually do the opposite of what my mammy tells me...I did take a week off last week, does that count
How do you know? :P
I didn't say not to rest, just to do whatever's necessary to blitz the infection. Eye of newt and all that Mammy!
Have stocked up on your previous recommendation so I'll report back to you in a few weeks. No pressure but it better do the trick

While since I logged but nothing much to report. I have been doing a few runs (~3 milers) and gym sessions but kind of lacking focus and motivation. Plan (yes another one :rolleyes:) is in the works so hopefully that will kick-start me again.
Generally decided against any more goal races this year i.e. Waterford HM and will focus on building up for next year. I have a few ones in mind that I would like to attempt but I like HMs so I think a few of those will be targeted. Gutted I'll miss those rocky roads and cookies in Waterford though
- may have to be factored in as a training run!!
Any race/strategy suggestions appreciated!0 -

I'd have a few shorter races in the interim to keep you focused, next year is a big abyss to be staring into and it would be very easy to lose motivation.Maybe look at some 10K race this side of Christmas to keep your mind on something for the moment.
I agree races are a great motivating factor but this is usually where wheels fall off for me. I sign up for something, run it and usually pick up some injury. So my thinking was if I took some time out from this I would take the pressure off myself and just run! You're right in saying thats prob not a good strategy though because I will loose motivation.
I'd love to aim for a good 5 mile time but nothing that distance around till Raheny I think. Aware 10km is really only other option if it doesn't get cancelled!HI shaz, glad you're planning and re focusing again. I might save you a water ford cookie. might being the operative word there...I won't hold my breath so

So I should join a club then Ray, anyone in particular
I thought about it but wouldn't want to abandon my fellow boardsies...that and the fact there's none nearby for slow coaches like me. Raheny would prob be the closest on the good ould north side I think0 -

You could set up your own club. Myself and Nules might join and you'd probably recruit a few more with your kern crawling ;-€0 -

Knocklyon might be a bit of a trek
I'm sure Raheny has a good mix of standards - they seem to be a pretty big club, from the crowds at the Raheny 5. You could still hang out with internet weirdos on the weekends, but a club session would help you drag yourself out of the house midweek. (Plus you'd get to meet the famous christeb ) 0 -

I used to run past their sessions a lot. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm I think down beside the causeway over to Bull Island on the grass. There were loads of groups of different standards and well over 100 at the session. This was the middle of January now (before the Raheny 5) but there was always a good crowd there. If i were to move back to Dublin at any stage they would be the first club i'd go to for sure.0 -

Ah no shaz
what a bummer and a horrible dose too. My kids and husband had it a while back. Husband was waaayyy sicker than the kids. One week pretty much in bed and another week where he was back at work but probably shouldnt' have been... so do take it easy, not something you can rush. No point trying to figure out where you got it... it's highly contagious, 5 minutes in the general vicinity of a child that doesn't even have symptoms yet would probably do it! 0 -
