The Boggers Log

SamforMayo

Good man, great news.

Good to see you back at it Chief, slowly does it, it'll come back to you.

Firedance

Happy days! lol on the young wans get up, shocking it is :-)

FBOT01

Nice one C. Great to see things starting to move for you. Make sure you take it handy on the way back.

ger664

Hopefully Ger, I'll gladly take slow and easy (as long as it's running not walking!) over the next few weeks. Have you another target marathon in mind?

TbL[/QUOTE]

Yes. Frankfurt dependent on work else its Dublin.

laura_ac3

Good to see things are looking up! Keep the faith, and the logging!!

Murph_D

I suspect you know this already, TbL, because you are a sophisticated enough bogger with plenty of experience of the big smoke and beyond. There never were, and probably never will be, ANY decent bars on Stephen's Green. The geography is just all wrong.

Well done on the canal run. But be careful. You're only old once.

Today: 3.11 very slow easy miles @ 9.27.

Did this around the UCG grass pitches in Dangan, foot was a little more uncomfortable today but I suppose that's to be expected after yesterday's jaunt.

Seeing the physio tonight and if I get the all clear, I'm gonna aim for the 10 mile Simon run in Salthill on the 28th June and the Achill half on 4th July.

Reading all about Al Sal on the athletics forum and the benefits to performance from testosterone. Since my coach doesn't condone that sorta stuff I've teamed up with the local vet (we've agreed to share all my future prize money!) and he's going to start injecting me with micro doses of blood from the parish prize bull

Expect to see some incredible racing on here later on in the season, but in the mean time I'll have to start going through my little black book to get a few running dates lined up. They'll initially have to be very slow though, stand by your phone Murph

Something tells me you might find it difficult to line up some running dates after that revelation about the parish bull - hope you warned the missus :P

Hes really hoping he develops a pair of balls like this lad with the injections!!

TbL's description - Bull with big testicles!!

Murph_D

The anticipation! I've already checked the phone a dozen times today just to make sure it's getting a signal. Seriously, happy to hook up anytime you're in the capital, whether it's running, walk/running or even walk/walking. No Dublin biking though. Too dangerous!

I don't know TBL - wouldn't that be a lot of extra weight to be carrying around ?

Maybe Kit, but it'd surely be a great core workout.

Think I'd end up spending a fortune in anti chafing body glide though

Murph, you could bring him circuit training......a bit of run/walking with exercise stations at The Yacht, Smyth's, Gaffney's, Meagher's, Kavanagh's, Grainger's and finishing off in Harry's. Yaboya would definitely join in and you never know Ferris and I could be tempted too.:D

Ah, now that's a workout I can get excited about!

career move

Is aiming for a 10 mile race in less than 4 weeks a bit ambitious?

adrian522

I was going to say the same thing, and a half a week later? But I didn't want to put a downer on all this bollo**s talk that's been going on.

it takes a woman to talk sense

The bollo^*s talk was just a sneaky decoy

kit3

Adrian is right - a 'downer' might cancel the vets fee

Actually, maybe you could help him out Career move ??

Ha no bother. I do castrations at a very reasonable rate

kit3

Now TBL - see what we do for you - after this your running woes will be nothing. What a roller coaster - from Johnny big balls to castration all in an afternoon :cool:

Yep from TbL to TbE (the bitter eunuch ) in the space of a few hours!

Thanks Madame Dora, but if I ever get the snip it'll be done by a registered medical professional not a wannabe Tri-fairy

Your point re the 10 miler might have more merit however! I've been given more toe exercises to do to try and get the toes to "land" properly when my foot hits the ground and I'm not out of the injury woods just yet. Been told to build it up slowly and carefully monitor for swelling etc. if it continues to improve like it has recently, I don't see any reason why I can't jog at least the 10 miler.

Anyway the physio and Ecoli should save me from myself if required!

Nice to see this log back up and running (pun intended) and back to its usual random self .

Straight back to the boll*x talk I see. The wannabe Tri-fairy didn't keep you down for long......you just can't help yourself

Been out of circulation for a little while so just catching up now.

Glad to hear you're coming to Achill. I will probably be pacing somewhere between 1:40-1:50 so I'll see you there, though that's yet to be confirmed.
And when are you coming up to the Westport parkrun?
Running dates are always available in this part of the world too.
Good luck with the recovery.

He only likes to fraternise with the big city boys, makes him feel big, country bumpkins are of zero interest to him!! I'm only off the main Dublin-Galway motorway TbL, if your ever stuck traveling back West.

We like to think of ourselves as very cosmopolitan in Westport though. Always something of interest to the discerning bogger and family.

Tnx P,

Hopefully Achill still on for me. I'd need to have an 80 min or 10 mile run in the bank and if so I'll see you there. If you're pacing 1.50 I might be able to tag along for a while.
