    Out again this morning, same loop as yesterday. Very sticky weather out today - not particularly warm but humid as fcuk! 4.5km/2.8 miles at 9.35/mile average pace. HR still high (175 average/191 max). Felt pretty good, I can't overstate how nice it is to be getting back out after basically having to take 3 weeks off.

    Just hope there's not going to be any more time off the road like this for a very long time...

    Good that your back again, but take it easy for a short while - you dont want to rush into longer and faster stuff and get hit with an over use injury :)

    Random : Could your garmin HR be inflated with that stupid problem where its very high at the star of a run, until it gets wet?

    Judging by how consistently high it stays later on in the run, I don't think so.

    You can see the early spike quite clearly there, but it slowly climbs and stays high.

    Delighted to see you back out. You must have been so frustrated.

    On the plan for this evening - 30 minutes easy, which is exactly what got done in absolutely lashing rain. :eek: Summer my arse!

    Managed to control the pace a bit more this evening, 4.77km/2.96 miles at 10.08/mile average pace. If it wasn't for the rotten weather there would have been laps of the shopping centre car park to bring it up to 5km :pac:

    HR still high (166bpm average/185bpm max), but felt pretty good throughout the run so meh.

    I wasn't the only one out on the way to Pram Springs - was passed by one woman who was running in a rain poncho and a guy who was wearing heavy cotton :eek:

    Was supposed to run last night, but swapped that run to tonight after a crap night's sleep on Monday night meant that I had no energy at all after work yesterday evening. Got out this evening anyway (with the added bonus of slightly better weather), 40 minutes easy was on the schedule. Ran 6.67km / 4.11 miles in just over 40 minutes, 9.47/mile average pace. Felt a bit tougher than it should have, tbh. This recovery isn't going to be quick...

    Whether 27 or 28 candles it's irrelevant. Your in you're late twenties in 3 days time, enjoy the last few days of your mid 20's :p

    Glad to see you're out and about running again. Pity you won't be able to do Dunshaughlin.
    Is your birthday on Saturday? (oh, to be that young again!)

    It's actually Friday, but Saturday is the more suitable beering night. D'mammy wants to do the usual "have a meal as a family" thing tomorrow. Since T-bone steaks (rare of course) are promised, this is a good thing :D

    Oh Garmin, you so crazy :pac:

    That's a bit more like it. Plan for today was 40 minutes easy, did 6.28km / 3.9 miles @ 9.41/mile average pace this evening - ran from the office because I was meeting up with friends for dinner and booze. Clearly my Garmin does not like the city centre, pace fluctuations were pretty crazy, and it thinks I can at some point hit sub-4 minute mile pace :eek:

    HR finally dropped slightly compared to the last few runs - 162 average/176 max, I'm interpreting that as a good sign. :)
