And dont forget your old to!! Give yourself a break as FD says, you'll get back to where you were & better, be patient.
Thanks for the auld lad reminder B
Patience and me make poor bedfellows (apparently unlike yourself and Bulmers
)
Was tempted to head out later tonight to try it again but Mrs TbL is lashing down the wine and it looks like I'm in for a strength & conditioning session coz I'll be carrying her home

Today: plan called for a 3 mile Nursing Home Special. Was a a waterpark today and some of the slides would literal scare the crap outta ya. I went down one with eldest daughter (no bother to her) and it was literally a huge sheer drop, I think I left a 20 metre slick of slurry trailing in my wake. Had factor 50 on but still got a bit roasted!
Yesterday's abysmal run was still in my head when I set off late this evening so I decided to do today's miles at yesterday's planned pace (7.30/7.40). Sluggish start but managed to get through it.
Splits; 7.40, 7.49, 7.26 & 7.16 ( did an extra mile coz I got a bit lost).
I've also move on from been a certified auld curmudgeon to a one foot in the grave auld codger as my new Crocks were cutting the feet off me I ended up going to dinner with shorts, green Crocks and a pair of running socks. You can't buy class

Plan today called for 2m wu/cd followed by 10 x 300m off a minute recovery at 62-64 seconds per rep.
Need to cut back on the ice cream! I hired a bike with a child's seat mounted at the back so I can transport the young lad around as he's not able to properly cycle himself yet. Was coming back from the beach on the bike topless with the young lad on board. Told him to hold on. He grabs me by the side belly fat. "Dad", "yes son", "you've got skin handles". The little fecker
Anyway just after 11pm tonight I cycled down to the sea front that is fairly well lit. Decided I was warm enough and only did a 1k warm up and then lashed into the reps. Pace was a bit all over the place so I tried to concentrate on form. After about 6 reps I could see the shadow of my torso in the street lights and my form was going pear shaped, not quite the duck waddle but maybe like a frantic bat (maybe my skin handles were billowing out in the breeze!!)
Was gasping for breath at the end and it put into context the effort levels KU and some of the other shorter distance guys put in. They're still track fairies though

Yesterday: plan called for 7 miles easy. We decided to push the boat out and head into Venice for two nights. Treated ourselves to a decent hotel with a nice rooftop pool with views over Venice. We arrived like a gang of red faced, sweat stained, arse scratching hillbillies disturbing the tranquility of the genteel
Had a great dinner on the quayside, at Al Cacciatori, they gave all the customers little wooden boxes for under your table and you put your feet up on them when the swell came over the quay. Kids thought it was great craic. Saw a sign in the lobby that said the gym was out of action for maintenance for the day so I took that as a sign to take a rest day. Saw the sign again this morning and only noticed the date, it was from a few days ago, wouldn't happen in Germany
Today: plan called for 1 mile wu/cd followed by 4 x 10 mins @ 7.00/7.10 pace off 2 mins recovery.
Spent the day traipsing around bridges, canals and alleyways. Was considering spending the guts of €100 for 30 mins on a Gondola but the kids weren't that keen. My daughter said that it looked like PJ's currach and we could go out on that any day at home for free We'd a laugh at that and gave it a skip.
Decided to hit the treadmill in the hotel and the sets paces were:
7.03, 7.03, 7.03 & 6.58
Never sweated as much in my life, runners were soaked through and the last half mile was tough enough.
Back to the hillbillies caravan tomorrow

Back at the campsite today. Had planned on doing an easy 3 mile Nursing Home Special, headed out the door with the young lad following on the bike. After about 100 metres the foot started to complain a fair bit, the first time in a good while. Not sure if it might have been the treadmill that aggravated it, or the fact that I've done feck all toe yoga since I've come on holiday but I wasn't taking any chances and canned the run. Gonna try and stretch it out as its tender and I'll try a few easy miles tomorrow.
In other news as per the mail I received below it looks like I won't have to worry about the credit card bill when I get home
In fairness who falls for this crap!!!!

Dear Sir,
First of all, my name is Dr. Paul James, the Auditor General of ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND. I have an urgent and confidential business proposition for you.I am the accounting officer of Mr. Ken Lay, Enron founder, who died on July, 5th 2006, at the age of 64.It will interest to know that on Wednesday, 7th February 2001, Mr. Ken Lay deposited a total sum of 37.5M pounds. These funds were deposited into a non-existing company's account which I opened in our bank (ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND) under their instructions, to avoid raising an eyebrow.
Meanwhile, the 37.5 Million Pounds deposited in my bank has no proof of ownership as it was opened with non-existing companies name and the bank is not aware of the real beneficiaries as the accounts did not bear any name. As their accounting officer and financial adviser in charge of these accounts, I can comfortable present you to the Bank as the real beneficiary of the funds and they have no right to deny the application.
Regards,
Dr Paul James0 -

Great email address that: ken@usa.com Ho did you get it?
Was wondering the same Meno, couldn't see my actual hotmail address anywhere, maybe it was a one shot catches all type of suckers e mail addresses?
Anyway when I get the cash, I'll be able to employ my very own IT security specialist to get to the bottom of things like that

Yesterday: had planned on going out last night but the the campsite put a on a fireworks display that the clan wanted to see (it was excellent) and there was a huge thunder storm with lightening than lit up the sky followed by torrential rain that put paid to the run. Probably did the foot good to take another days rest.
Today: plan called for 12 months miles steady but I decided to push this out to tomorrow when I'm back home. Decided to do a 4 mile Nursing Home Special instead and see how the foot was. Stiff enough starting but loosened out as I went along. Pace was very easy.
Back to the auld sod tomorrow and hopefully I won't see pasta, pizza or ice cream again till Christmas

Those paces bring me back to the days when I was out babysitting you on a run

Ha I prefer the term chaperoning - must hook up for another run soon to see if I've got any closer to you.
I'm starting to feel sorry for you now - wind has picked up here in last half hour and it's blowing a gale - problem not as strong as what you had earlier so respect for declining the lift and sticking it out!0 -

You'd be handing me my ass at the moment TJ, nowhere near your level currently. Hoping to catch up quick though
