The Boggers Log

In my continued attempts to win back AMK's affections, I've taken to hooring myself around with any Boardsie that'll have me. Last week Tom Joad, and at the weekend l almost pulled Muicilin Muc away from his wedding but tonight I got really lucky!

It's not every day that one gets to run with someone half their age, half their weight and twice their ability! I was in Dublin today and was lucky enough to get a few miles in with the Boards legend that is Ecoli.

Did a nice few easy miles around the PP and picked his brain along the way. Really enjoyed it. I could tell he was nervous about his marathon PB attempt on Sunday, so I told him he'd be fine

On the way out of the PP he almost mowed down an auld deer (not the handbag carrying variety!)

I hope my sense of direction is better on Sunday as on my way back to Kilmainham I took the wrong turn off and ended up in a Super Value car park near the train station!

Thanks again Ecoli.

AMK, don't call me, I'll call you!

Slut run. Urban dictionary: meaning:
When a runner hooks up with several runners post-break-up with another runner. Reasons for doing so are to make your running-ex jealous, low self-esteem, or to heal your wounds.
TbL, you're a running slut:P AMK is better off without you:D

All I'm going to say is that I haven't been physically able to run since I met the running slut last week. Just a word of caution to everyone :P

Jaysus TJ, I didn't think running 8 min mile pace would have left you that shattered

Saturday: gotta say I really, really enjoyed the run today.

Met the young lad AMK and headed off at a reasonable enough pace. The miles flew by and was really enjoying it and got a free tour of the PP.

Either AMK is very well know and popular or he's waving at a lot of strangers


In all seriousness thanks AMK probably one of the most enjoyable LR's I've had in ages.


TbL

And then with Ecoli (who's only marginally faster than me over a Marathon and quite slower over a beer mile.................

Meh...........his loss

I'm secretly devastated

We still have a date on Sunday, right Tbl? You're not leaving me for that pimply faced youngster are you? Sure, he's not even legal!

ThebitterLemon

Of course Q, I'm still hot to trot on Sunday, in fact I'm partial to a bit of rough & ready and according to Ecoli you fit that bill perfectly

I couldn't make out if he was legal or not and there were no pimples evident as his face was covered in some downy fluff, I think he's either got a fungal infection or he was looking under his bed for a book and some of the carpet hairs stuck to his face

Bring on Sunday!!!!


Today: had agreed an online date with Yaboya of Seville marathon fame.

The last time I saw P, (and Ger) they were happily slurping off pints of cider sitting outside O Neills in the sun after fantastic marathons. I on the other hand was on my second round of extremely bitter lemon and was so pissed off I couldn't wait to get out of dodge and hardly could speak to the lads.

It was time to kiss and make up!

We meet up earlier this morning at the gates of PP and did a couple of easy miles in glorious sunshine.

Fair play to Yaboya for sticking to that HR running program, I couldn't stick it as it would melt my head. He's got some serious PBs coming up over the next few weeks and is on course for a sub 3 in Berlin.

Thanks P, enjoyed that and I'm sure you'll answer my calls the next time I'm in the big smoke! Have you changed your number AMK

Thanks lads, it's great to run with company

I might even consider a threesome the next time I'm up

Look you are better off with out him. As they said in The Play Boy Of the Western World, a man like that is no better than a tinkers ass, he will eat a bit in every field but never have anything of his own.

yaboya1

He's become such a popular date I think it's inevitable he'll start charging soon. I thought I'd get in while it's still free :-P

Getting testy, cranky and a bit irrational now.

I couldn't find my trusty Garmin 305 this morning after an hour of searching high and low, so ended up in Elverys at lunch time trying to panic buy a Garmin. Don't know much about them and I just normally use the basic functions, they didn't have a great selection, was going to buy a reasonably priced 110, but the screen seemed very small. Sales person convinced me to pony up for a 910, it seems very good but I definitely overpaid for my requirements.

Anyway did 3.8 easy miles today with 7 or 8 strides. The strides were a good idea (tnx Q) as they loosened up the legs and lungs nicely. I did hardly any strides during this training cycle but I think I'll try and incorporate more of them in the next cycle.

FBOT01

Good luck on Sunday. Do the necessary for 20 and then kick on to finish the job. Keep the Faith and most importantly....enjoy!!

ThebitterLemon

Thanks FBOT, feeling fairly cool about it now, and hoping to at least PB, disappointed if I don't.

Jaysus, I will have to dig out the blessed candle so, the fingers and toes wont do. Don't worry about a thing, you do the running, I will do the praying and it will work out. THINK POSITIVE.

Best of luck Mr Lemon. I'll see you in the morning.

I am out of the pacing due to an injury but I will come down on Sunday to join in the celebrations. Are you staying down? If so we will be meeting in the George Hotel early afternoon.

Thanks Meno,

Hope it's nothing too serious.

Not sure if I'll be hanging around, at the moment it looks like I'll be going up and down on the same day. I'd like to catch up with ye so I'm trying to arrange to stay down longer.

Gavlor

Tbl,

I have absolutely no doubt that you'll nail this one.

AuldManKing

Best of luck TbL - keep it steady and dont let your head get in the way of a good performance!

cianc

Best of luck TBL, stick with the plan, unless it's a bad plan, in which case ignore the plan, or maybe just use parts of it. I guess what I'm saying is, don't **** it up
