Reading about your sailing exploits Aquinn, if you were sailing us to Spain I'd say we'd all be bailing

TbL

Bailing means you are prepared to go over, this doesn't happen on my boat. You just get chucked out and in the water before you know what's happening

ThebitterLemon

bailing:


1. to remove water from the bottom of a boat by dipping or scooping. Tom has to bail the boat out before we get in. You should always bail out a boat before using it.
2. to empty a boat of accumulated water. Would you bail this boat out? I will bail out the boat.

And from what I've read Captain AQuinn we'd all be bailing for our lives:)

where's your sense of adventure TBL plus, sea swimming is super good for the injuries so she'd really be doing us a favour

Unfookinbelievable Part 2!

Today: plan called for 2 mile wu/cd, 6 x 600 at 2.08-2.12 off 90 seconds recovery.

Couldn't find anywhere safe beside the hotel to do this so I googled tracks near Redhill and it came up with a cinder track not too far from hotel (see attached photo). Despite the multitude of coordinates I got lost and had to find it the old fashioned way, by asking people!

By the time I eventually found it I'd lost a fair bit of my motivation for this.

Started the reps and couldn't believe how slowly I was going at what seemed like a fairly high effort level. Very poor tonight and it's just as well I entered San Sebastián at the end of November coz I'll need the extra time to get ready.

1. 2.22
2. 2.22
3. 2.27
4. 2.24
5. 2.28
6. 2.28

Garmin said I was running 650-660m but it's never accurate on a track and I'm pretty sure I ran a lap and a half so I can't use that as an excuse!

In the words of Damien Dempsey 'Patience', you'll get there C.

Plan today called for a 3 mile Nursing Home Special.

Got into Dublin airport this evening and staying at a hotel near the airport.

Used ALSAA as a base and did 5k at recovery pace, stiff knees, foot and groin that eased out to varying degrees as the run progressed. Had a swim in the pool afterwards.

Had put out a call or two for company on my 15 miler tomorrow but no joy, FBOT had a good suggestion and I was gonna try and hook up with the novices in the PP for this but work has put paid to that and I'll now probably have to just run the 15 around the airport/Santry.

Jaysus, DG. You don't want him as the guide. Those parts of the PP are not for "Novices"

Yeah, you dont want a man who 'accidentally' had his car locked into the Papal Cross car park as your guide around the PP.

Haha FBOT, I'm sure you'll inveigle P to visit those areas on your run tomorrow:)

Didn't try PapaMurph as I saw from his log that he had done a long run already.

Unfortunately I can't DG, I thought it was a great idea and was looking forward to it as it would have suited me perfectly. Much better than traipsing around the airport on my tod!

Plan today called for a few miles at a bit faster than steady pace and tomorrow's run was to be 15 easy. I'm travelling to UK today to see Stoke v Liverpool with my auld lad and my young lad so I won't get a chance to run tomorrow. Decided I needed to try and get back on the horse and try the longer run today. I had only a short window to get it done and late last night I got a text from the oldest running ART legend PappasMurph, who offered to do a few miles with me. Was instructed to meet at the wooden bridge in Dollymount. Wha! Where! I told D, that that was like me asking him to meet me outside Josie Phat Willies house in Connemara! Google maps got me there eventually. I did a couple of auld man stretches while waiting nervously on the bridge for the legendary Crusader to arrive. He strode through the early morning sunshine shortly thereafter and after a quick get to know each other cuddle we were on our way. Down along the strand (I now know I'll never do the Clontarf half!), East Point, the docks area Fairview Park, (many years ago I used to work not far from there) and parts of Dublin I'd never set foot in before. It was a glorious morning and Murphs guided tour made Dublin almost seem like a nice place! At the start we also passed the spot where AQuinn is learning to swim (sorry sail ) and its a pity we couldn't find her boat coz we were gonna leave a note.

Goal for me was to get two hours on my feet and not worry about the pace after the disastrous 12 miler on Monday. Was concerned that I was holding Murph back a bit but ever the gracious tour guide he said it was grand.

Really happy with the way it went and the body held it together till about mile when I stated to stiffen up so I decided to leave it at 13 miles. That's the longest I've run since last March (maybe early April) so another step forward.

Thanks D, really enjoyed the run and company, you've set the bar very high for future running dates

Hope A doesn't come back too grumpy

Don't have the splits as I left the Garmin behind, I'm sure Murph will post it from his abacus!

I thought he was being puerile with with that "Phat Willie" stuff but apparently not.

Good solid run, C. Glad Murph and you have made up

Enjoy the match with the other generations of Lemons!
