    11.5 in 1:05. More hills. I'm going to take it off road next week, there's a forest out towards blessington, will park up and do a loop. Hit a good pace tonight, was running with a deaf guy, and sure there was no asking him to slow down!

    12.5km in 1:07. Very fast night. Ran with my neighbour, a former Olympian. Let her off at 8km, it was around 40 minutes. She missed the run on Saturday, so was mad for speed. She finished up with 10km, so I don't think I did too bad, adding an extra loop.

    12km in 1:07. Hit the easy hills tonight. They weren't too much of a struggle. The girl above never caught me, I had a 5 minute head start . Where I'm elated, she's fuming. Wohoo.

    16km in 1:41. Wrecked. Overdressed. New route, more hills. Ended up on my own, all the others cried off 'coz of the rain. It was actually quiet cooling.

    Feel great today after my double digit run yesterday. Someone mentioned it to me before, 10 miles/16km. I am going to try keep my runs at 14km+ during the week and more at the weekend. I have a trail run at the end of June, have the option of a 10km or half marathon a week later at Brandon(I'm on holidays down there). Might just leave it to the 10 though. That brings me up to August. Would that give me enough time for DCM?

    16km in 1:31. Same route as Saturday. Up ya boy ya. Felt great. Julie actually slowed me down tonight, we could have knocked another 5 minut off that time, but for her stopping with an injury.

    Broke 500km for the year too!

    17.5 in 1:43. So hot out at 730. One of the lads had a water station out for us, thanks be to God. I'd say we would have got a sup somewhere on route though. I miss those old green water pumps that were scattered about the place.

    13.5km in 1:10. Took it handy at the start, hit a few 6's, got it up to 5:10-5:30, and for the last 2km I think i was going 4 minutes per km. Don't know where I pulled the energy from at the end. Feel great now though.

    10.5km in 52 mins. Good pace tonight, meant to go slow, but the deaf guy I was running with had other idea's. At 8km he pulled up with a sore hamstring, but waved me on. I can't sign, so ran on. Well apart from thumbs up.

    19.5km in 1:54. Complete nightmare before bed, my watch wouldn't turn on. Did a google on the make, and gave it the kiss of life, rebooted it. Phew. I use my watch a lot to keep an eye on the tempo. Anything over 6min/km, too slow. Grand for getting your breath back, that's it. I had hoped for rain, for a bit of cooling down, didn't so much as get a splash from a puddle. And my dinner, 14oz steak, from last night was moving around a bit too much too. Won't do that again, but it was my dad's birthday. There was 2 behind me going moo moo moo when I had slowed a bit, the divils. 3 weeks till Camp trail run, I should be changing courses ASAP.

    11km in 1:04. I really feel the few extra km's from Tuesdays. Legs are stiffer. Or heavier. But I really notice a difference in my speed. 2 others have said it to me.

    Camp Trail run completed. 16km in 1:36. One savage climb, I must have been walking for nearly 20 minutes. Made up great time on the way down. Delighted to have done it now. Next goal, rock and roll half. I'm sticking to the flatter routes for a while.

    13.5km in 1:20. That must have been the warmest, the car temp said it was 22. All flat, and no water stations. I thought I kept it @5.30/km, must have lost time somewhere. I

    6km in 37 mins. All hills. Was going to chance the trail run again, in hindsight I should have. The ring I did was too short. Might keep it on the roads and do it 2/3 times on Tuesday.

    The ring I'm running around is a killer. Basically up and down, no flat anywhere. I've done it twice again, 6.5km in both 36.5 mins and 36 mins. It's not easy on the legs at all. At least I'm getting gradually faster.

    Didn't go faster tonight, and really thought I pushed myself. The joys of running on my own I suppose. 6.5km in 36 mins.

    A slow 6.5km in 38mins. I'll be glad to be back to Naas. Flatter routes. I suppose if I drove ok bro Tralee, I could have ran on loads of paths.
