It's only Sergeants who are boycotting PULSE, get your facts straight at least. I for one don't agree with the strike, we get paid well enough in my opinion but could badly do with updated resources like decent cars and proper training in First Aid and the like. But hey it's literally a job with to many Chiefs, what would a man like me that has to actually work with these outdated resources everyday know!!
Jaysis I feel strange talking sense on your log!!!0 -

Wed: early morning got 10 miles easy done, with longest stretch on the road in 2 weeks (7 miles), finished up with 3 miles around the grass pitch for 10 miles @ 8.15
PM: got another 4 miles easy done to clear the head, around and around that feckin grass pitch @ 7.57
Thursday: plan called for steady miles.
Did this on the pitches and trails around Dangan. Got 10 miles done @ 7.11, a bit fast. I started slow and got faster as I went along. Feels like a lifetime ago that I did the Athlone 3/4's at 7.04 pace, fitness has definitely taken a hit

It's 2.5 weeks ago in and in that time you've done approx 112 miles running so that's probably not really the case...
What's the schedule like between now and San Seb (running & work)? you had a great run in the Galway half and again in Athlone, use those positives to your advantage.0 -

Yesterday: plan called for easy miles. Decided to take a rest day after the 18 miles on Saturday. Was happy with the 18 miler as I did it faster and more comfortably than a few weeks ago over the same route.
Went into see the Macnas parade or as some would call it, the day for all of Galways unemployed actors to show case their talents.
It was absolutely fantastic, really really well done. Mickey D was been mobbed in Shop Street like a rock star in a walk around after the event.
Today: early morning 8.5 miles around Dangan @ 7.50. First time in yonks that the legs felt like they'd a bit of spark rather than been like to bags of cement.
Got another 6.5 miles done very easy @ 8.24 around the local roads and grass pitch before heading off to scare the neighbours.
15 miles for the day

Today: the plan called for 1 mile wu/cd with 4 x 2 miles at MP off 1k steady.
Head wasn't right at all for this. We are heading to Ballyhoura for a few days and Mrs TbL wasn't best pleased when I said I'd to run before we left. Almost canned the session but headed out in a foul humour, with Mrs TbL like a demented Tasmanian devil!
Picked a mile out and back section, the weather was great but there was a fresh wind blowing, so the out and back made it a fair workout.
Was surprised that I managed this handy enough (a touch on the fast side but I was in a hurry home ) except for the last rep where the legs started to get heavy. Didn't have time for the mile cool down.
Total for the day 10.5 miles (7.02 average)
Rep paces:
6.39
7.21
6.39
8.00 (had to stop to take stone outta my shoe)
6.37
7.28
6.37
Probably only easy running, if I get out at all, over the next few days in Ballyhoura.

Wednesday: down near Ballyhoura for a few days. Spent the day between Mitchelstown Cave, Cahir Castle and driving on crap twisting roads so when we eventually got back to base I took the soft option and didn't run.
Thursday: another long day, this time down in Castlecomer and a puncture on the way back meant we didn't get back till after 10pm. Really just wanted to crash but at this stage can't afford two days off. Couldn't find the head torch so had to drive to the nearest "town", Kilfinnane, and run up, down and around the Main Street about a dozen times. Horrible boring run and some flute threw a chicken nugget at me as I passed the Chippee. Would have eaten it but I'm on a diet!
Got 7 of the most boring miles ever done @ 8.56.
Friday: plan called for 9 steady miles but I pushed this back till tomorrow as I'd no route to do this on. Ended up doing 8 easy miles @ 8.04 on cow ****e splattered boreens.
Decided to try and run the sluggishness out of the legs after a day in Foto with another short run along the same Main Street as last night, was a bit peckish and was hoping someone would lob a chicken leg at me but no joy. Got 5 miles done very easy @ 8.43
13 miles for the day.
