You were lucky you healed so quick with both 2nd and 3rd being damaged. I'm about 5 weeks in to the rest but not sure how many more weeks I'll need. I'm like a buddist with the "acceptance" at the moment, not sure how I'll feel when I hit the rehab stage ...
Great log btw
Looks like there is competition on the block, Tang!!0 -

Arrived in Heathrow on Sunday and got a taxi to the hotel. Staying in the One Aldwych hotel, and yes the hotel is as pretentious as it sounds!
The black cab driver drove me nuts, he was speeding and tail gating, slamming on the brakes at the last minute, switching lanes and clipped a kerb or two. He was either on a serious promise at home or insane, judging by the state of him I'd have to guess the latter but one never knows, for every dirty auld sock there's a dirty auld shoe. I could have flown to Corfu with Ryanair for the price he charged me!
Another mad week here in London with work.
Monday's planned 3 mile recovery was sacrificed for some extra kip and yesterday's planned 4/7 mile easy double turned into a 4 mile midnight trundle on the treadmill.
Today's plan called for 2 miles easy wu/cd with 5 x 5 mins at 6.25-6.35 pace off 3 mins.
Had a break around 6 where I declined a work group dinner and hit the treadmill for this. The gym in the hotel is pretty good but the place was roasting.
Got the 2 miles easy done and started on the 5 min sets. Finished with only a couple of hundred metres cool down as I was caught for time.
By the the time I had finished it looked like the treadmill had given birth with all the bodily fluids that had accumulated at the end of it
Wasn't sure of the paces so I did the sets at the following speeds: 15.0, 15.1, 15.2, 15.5 & 16.0 kph.

Disastrous week from a running perspective!
Work really got in the way and I had family commitments this weekend.
Going to do the Galway Bay half on 3rd October but I don't think I'm even in 1.30 shape! SS is on the last weekend November and I'm starting to doubt I've enough time to get into sub 3 shape. I'll have to have a word with Ecoli.
Thur: 5.7 miles easy around St James Park.
Friday: 3 miles around the Britannia stadium in Stoke.
Sat & Sun: nada.
Probably only got 20 miles in total in for the week (Bulmers runs that most Tuesday's)
Travelled up to Stoke on Ftiday night and met the family, we were going to the Stoke-Leicester game on Saturday. My young lad was one of the mascots and walked onto the pitch at the start of the game with Jon Walters. (He was brilliant with the young lad, chatted with him and made a bit of a fuss over him, some of the other players didn't even speak to their mascots!) #jonwalterslegend
My young lad had a blast and was delighted.
I'm in London again towards the end of next week but I can't afford another poor week so one way or another ill have to get my act together.

You doing Moone at the weekend? You would want to take the finger out in fairness, more time concentrating on the running than looking at TRR's chest rug!!
And a fine rug it is too, you're only jealous coz you'd like to have it laid out on your head
Nah, giving Moone a miss as it'd probably demoralise me at this stage, ran it last year in under 3 hour pace and I'm miles off that at the minute.
I'll probably do the Galway Bay half.
You back on the road?

I'm at peace with my baldness! Yeah back out for 4 miles this morning, going to run that 5 mile challenge I was on about Saturday. Thinking of doing 2 mile warm up, 6@6.50-7mins, 2 mile cool down and see how I go.0 -

Today: plan called for 4/7 mile easy double.
Legs were a bit dead this morning when I got up, and the groin is good and tight and badly in need of a massage. You around Tang
Cracking morning for a run but my mood didn't match the weather, was in foul humour the thought of another couple of days in London was really pissing me off. Yesterday's session was still in the legs and I plodded around grumbling to myself for 9 miles very easy.
Am staying in the Shard hotel near London Bridge again, it's impressive but a bit up its own ass. After I checked in a young wan insisted on accompanying me to the lift and asked me if I wanted room orienteering. Jazus I thought this was a bit forward. "Wha" says I, my gob almost hittin the floor. "Would Sir, like a room orientation"? "Ah, no, just give me the key please", a little disappointed Room orientation, FFS! Here's the jacks, here's the telly, here's the light switch!!
After some self room orientation, I put on the gear and hit the hotel gym. Would have liked a swim to stretch out the muscles but the pool was closed. Got 4 miles easy done.
Total for miles the day 13.

Today the plan called for 6 miles easy. Meetings were due to finish at 1.15 and I had a taxi booked to take me to Heathrow, the fecker was late so I had to try and get one out on the street to make my 3.15 flight.
This time I was paying the taxi driver extra to speed, lane change, and take any short cut as I had a date waiting for me on the other side. Just about made it after a bit of a mad dash.
Arrived in Shannon to be personally greeted by the mileage junkie that is Bulmers74! He had agreed to chaperone me around the streets of Shannon for a few easy miles. He's doing some seriously impressive mileage, people rave about Krustys mileage but Bulmers is knocking out seriously high miles too. He's also doing some quality sessions as well and was fresh from a long run yesterday with 10 miles at PMP. He's a sub 3 waiting to happen, is as fit as a butchers dog and almost as good looking
As usual we had a good auld gossipy chat and the miles flew by. We got 8 easy miles done.
He then proceeded to drag me kicking and screaming to Supermacs, while still in our running gear, where two ex really fat bastids ate about 5,000 calories
Tnx J, definitely wouldn't have done 8 without the company.

Plan today called for 6 miles easy.
When I got up this morning my left glute and lower back were very stiff.
Was a bit uncomfortable running, it never loosened out and the pace was a death crawl.
Needed 3 miles to take the weekly mileage to 70 and ended up doing laps of the local GA pitch to make up the 3 miles.
30 mins stretching to try and loosen it out.
Highest mileage week in 6 months.
Also booked my flights to SS, am on the same flights as PaulieYifter, so it Thunderbirds are go now
