    17.5km in 1:40. Hot hot. And had a swarm of flies all over me till I got to the far side of punchestown. Water station at 10km. My neighbour Julie kept pushing me to go faster, I wasn't able to though.

    Met a couple out on a run just beside our estate, our pace matched up for a while. I've seen him out loads of times. His name is Philip and he's a 2:40 marathon runner, out training for Berlin at the moment. Think he said he runs with Donore. Someone on here probably knows him anyway. Nice guy.

    Ding ding. I'm back. Rock n roll hm done today in 1:56:13. Good run I thought. Went out in the second wave with the 1:45 pacer, and tried to stick it out as long as I could. I had to walk 3 times as I was completely fooked. Had absolutely nothing left for the last km, there wasn't a fear of me bursting into a sprint.

    10.5km in 59 mins. Took a few days rest, had a sore foot from the race. Unfortunately I ate like a pig during those rest days. Plan now is eat/drink clean, vitamins and fish oil every day. See what I'm like in a month, then decide on DCM. It'd be easier to do if I was lighter. Going to start reformer Pilates also, for my core and to give the muscles a good stretch.

    13km in 1:12. Felt great tonight. My posture was much better, down to the pilates I started yesterday. Legs and core work for an hour.
    Oh, and I got new runners too, Brooks ghost 7. I like them.

    26km in 2:33. Shocked the body this morning. There was an ice bath waiting for me when I got home. Legs never felt like this before. Found the last 500m really tough, a really nice run overall.

    16.5km in 1:32. Great run, really good tonight. The last 3 were tough, but feel good now, after a bowl of coco pops.

    Another hour on the pilates machine yesterday. Posture is definitely better when running. I like the stretching too. Ok, so some bits are a killer.

    11.5km in 1:05. Was meant to be a gentle run, but a few of the big guns returned to group tonight. We ended up running down to the town hall, and do the route of the Naas 10k, with a run back to the car as a warm down. Windy night, did the 10 in 56 mins, which isn't too bad I suppose.I still finished 10 minutes behind the main group. It's after getting very dark, very quickly. 2 of us nearly went flying over a black German Shepard, didn't see it till the last second, when we both hit the grass . Phew.

    26km in 2:39. I had 3 water drops out and they were all needed. First morning of leaky nipples too. One of the girls said I have to start wearing a bra. B1tch. Same run as last Saturday, similar time, so happy with that.

    16.5km in 1:29. Fast night I thought. Same route as last Tuesday, but only 3 minutes quicker. A new guy joined the group tonight and one of the others took after him. I did my best to keep with them, till I heard him say 3:09. It was after 8, and it wasn't when the kids get out of school. I let them off, with their 4:30/km, and settled back to 5:?/km.

    Will see what the body is like in another month before I sign up for Dublin.

    hi Beertons, i see you ran the route of the Naas 10k. what are your thoughts on it ? it doesn't look like a PB race.

    A pb for me or you? It's a tough enough start, uphill from the town hall to beyond the Garda station. And up again from the ballymore road to Cross's shop. They'll wipe out a lot of people. Flat for the rest, bar the incline up the Dublin road.

    Would I get a pb out of it? Under 50 minutes, maybe. I'm doing 30km the day before so won't be running it. Will give a hand helping out though. Have you a time in mind yourself?

    i have Athlone half next weekend and i was looking for a 10k race after that. i would be hoping to improve my 10k PB(40:42) but i dont think it will be Naas.

    whats your long term goal ? are you running DCM ?

    best of luck with your running.

    Thanks very much. Best of luck with your half. I'd like to try dcm alright, won't commit till I have another month of running under the belt.

    Goals, I'd like to get my 10k under 50 minutes. 47 is a nice number, maybe that. And a half in about 1:47 too. But that's not on the cards for a while.

    29km in 2:50. I should probably slow it down, found it hard from 27. I had 21 done in 2:01. That's all I remember. Saw a lad in wellies walking to croker, from Kilkenny. Nice morning for it I suppose. Hope he didn't forget the ticket.

    Broke 1000km too. Wohoo. Now to try get it up to 1400.

    17.5km in 1:34. Good run. Spent most of my time running on the road, as the footpaths were full of people on bikes with no lights, and all with dark clothes. I felt safer on the road with my hi viz vest.

    10.5km in 60 mins. No bicycles on footpaths tonight. Lots and lots of runners. I'm a doubt for Saturday's long one. I have to work. And herself is working Sunday, so can't do it then either. Never thought I'd get grumpy about missing a run. Lol.

    16km in 1:30. Ran 2.75 up to group with my neighbour, we call this the warm up. Did a 10.5 run around the town, she sped off with faster lads, and a 2.75 warm down home. We ran up pretty quick, 13 minutes or so. The run home was slow, and the middle one quick considering I was on my own. Great nights run.
