Late to the Charleville/Athlone party!!
Having done Athlone it's a fast course and the fact it has 1:25 pacers swings it for me. (well ok; that and the fact I am going to the Andy Lee fight the night before Charleville).
I'll still be able to get the early train back to Dublin to watch Tyrone in the All Ireland the day after the Lee fight. The only question is whether it'll be the Dubs or Mayo in the final
Charleville would leave that a bit too tight.
TbL can i interest you in Andy lee tickets? 0 -

You'd be afraid clicking the link after the viagra comment. Is that Shay Given?
You enjoyed your tour of the bay?
Yep, indeed it is, signed for Stoke as the reserve goalie.
Yea, Dublin looked great and 'twas great to have some company.
We were keeping an eye out for stranded sail boats, you obviously survived the weekendBest of luck tomorrow Chief.
Cheers Mate (sorry a hangover from the weekend!) It would be nice to be get a bit of a confidence booster, but it's not the end of the world and I got a note from coach today telling me to cool the jets and not to be over focusing on paces during this phase.

Today: as I was to be heading to London mid morning today I'd to juggle around the rest of the weeks runs so today was to be 2m wu & cd followed by 3 x 15 mins at 7.00-7.15 pace off 4 mins recovery.
Left the house before 6am to get into Dangan pitches for this and a beautiful morning for running it was with the sun burning the dew off the grass. Despite the Epsom bath last night the groin muscles are still a little tight and need some work.
Did a 1.5 mile easy warm up interspersed with some dynamic stretching and started into the sets. Happy enough with the effort level.
Set 1. 2.13 miles (7.07 & 6.55 pace for the 2 miles)
Set 2. 2.15 miles (7.01 & 6.50)
Set 3. 2.14 miles (6.55 & 7.04)
Only had time for a short cool down as I had a hour of yoga before work.
Was heading to Dublin airport when I got a call cancelling my trip to London, happy days!
Thought the weather app on my phone was broken as the sun symbol doesn't appear to have been working for the last few weeks but it seems to have fixed itself as its back now

Plan today called for a 3 mile Nursing Home Special.
This morning was the first time in months that I've gotten out of bed without having to hobble around coz of niggles and stiffness, hopefully the body is starting to adapt again, I had a similar complaint on the last cycle and all of a sudden the aches and pains mostly disappeared and my form and times started to improve. Hopefully I'm hitting that point on this cycle.
Got a game of squash in at lunch time and got the heart rate right up. Hit the local beach for a swim in the full tide, with my daughter, just after work. Invigorating and great for the legs.
Got the 3 miles in early this evening nice and easy.
Got all nostalgic hearing this tune on the radio today, brought me back to the days of slow dancing (for anyone under 40 odd this was part of the primitive dating ritual before bucket of fish, instagran, snapshat, or other social media emotional growth inhibitors where you actually interacted with a real live person of the opposite sex) and breathing in the perfume off some young wans neck)
Sign your name across my heart I want you to be my baby...

Today: as I was in Dublin this afternoon for work the plan today called for a resurrection of the magical mystery tour with Ecoli. On the way to the rendezvous at the Papal Cross car park at 6pm the car was showing the temp at 24•, so I was a little apprehensive as to what was in store. Was told we would be doing mile reps at a progression from around 7.00 to 6.40 pace. I knew this was gonna hurt as I haven't done mile reps at any sort of pace in ages. Q was gonna join us for part of the session and after a few false sightings (too much hair, he'd never wear leggings, that's a girl ) we hooked up with him. Great to catch up with him and he's ramping up the training again.
Running with lads that are way faster than you conflicts me, on the one hand I love the thought of been out with the faster guys as its really motivational and on the other there's always a little voice at the back of my head telling me that they wish the fcuk the gastropod would speed up and stop holding them back!! Was told to relax and after a two mile warm up we hit the reps, the lads were chatting away as if they were knitting while I threw the odd "sure" and "right" into the conversation not coz I'm taciturn but coz I was huffin & puffin from the get go.
We met AMK on our travels and he looks fit and strong, he slapped my ass as he passed me on one of his reps, I knew he was missing me
Q left us after a couple of laps, to continue his easy run, best of luck with the training A.
Found it warm out there tonight and at the end of the last rep I was wrecked and a bit disappointed with the effort level required to hit those paces. Now this is where having a decent coach, that you trust, comes into play, I wasn't getting any hail fellow sympathy and was told (again) to manage my expectations and that we were going through a structured process. Was told that it wasn't where I was at, that I should be concerned about but rather where I was coming from. That really struck a chord as back in June I was still not able to run!
Reps
1. 6.58
2. 6.55
3. 6.51
4. 6.40
5. 6.43
