    Monday 19.10.15

    Rest, spent most of the day being mentally assessed to see that i'm still fit for purpose for work. I'm suffering with depression not a basket case. GRRRRR!!!

    Tuesday 20.10.15

    10miles@9.05min/mile in 1hr 30min 55secs(including 8E and last 2MP)

    Another morning of making sure i'm not a candidate for the remake of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest had me itching for a run. Headed down to the canal for this starting out at Longwood Harbour, Blackshade Bridge(remember the railway bridge Sunday FD:p:p), Hill of Down, Ballasport Bridge to just shy of the Meath/Westmeath Border and back.

    The canal was eerily still and covered in leaves falling from the trees, would love to run the length of the whole canal someday, not the full 90 miles in one day but i'm sure you could manage it over two. Got bit emotional as i finished up as it was along here that i ran my first date with TbL that wonderful sunny summers day we help hands as we skipped along doing our run. He bought me roses then asked me to go skinny dipping, i said no and broke his heart!!!

    Just thinking, if your assessors were to read the end of your post there the questioning might take a different turn ;) Best of luck with that - can't be easy

    Wednesday 21.10.15

    5miles@9.16min/miles in 46min 21secs

    5 miles in the dark, i hate the dark, i didnt sleep on my own till i was 14, i'm afraid of the dark. Will be going to nearest town to run in the dark from now on, fully sure something was running after me doing this. TbL were you really in London all week?? Only reason i ask is cause your used to running behind me:p:p:p. Nice run apart from the dark bit.

    Thursday 22.10.15

    Rest, was suppose to run but Mrs tang got caught to work on so no chance by time she got home.

    Friday 23.10.15

    6miles Steady@8.42min/miles in 52min 16secs

    Usual 3 miles out 3 miles back route at home, nothing to report from this really, feeling good this weather and the 'bounce' is still there.

    Saturday 24.10.15

    5miles Easy@9.11min/miles in 45min 56secs

    I have a few regular routes i run and pass the same people everytime i'm out on them. I past an elderly man i see from time to time and he said to me 'Why do you run so much young fella, your not fat?'. I reply cause i enjoy it, to which he said 'How could you enjoy doing that, your mad' to which he scuttles off down his farmyard. Maybe mad but feck it i enjoy it to much to care, lovely run in the winter evening sun.

    Sunday 25.10.15

    6miles Easy@9.14min/miles in 55min 28secs(inc 6 x 15sec strides)

    3 miles out and back again, enjoyed the strides, concentrated on form and staying tall doing them say was at 75% effort doing them. Another enjoyable weeks training, loving the variety. 32 miles for the week.

    Be no running here this week, picked up a dose from our wee one that's manifested itself into a chest infection. Spent all day yesterday and most of today underneath a duvet. On antibiotics till Monday, could be worse, gives the body a weeks rest which can only be good. Gave me time to book Rotterdam accommodation to.

    Oh typical when you were going so well. Better to get it out of the way early. Hope you feel better soon.

    Sadly not A, the chest infection manifested itself into some sort of super virus that took hold Sunday evening. Cue alot of visits to the toilet (Firedance will fill you in on the gorey details if you want them!!!) over 36 hrs and me losing 5-6 lbs in the process and nearly being admitted to hospital as a result. The misus and eldest lad suffered to unfortunately. Weak as a kitten but holding down small bits of food, think it's another week of no running again for me. Cheers for asking.

    Monday 9.11.15

    5miles@9.14min/miles in 46min 14secs

    And i'm back on the horse, 2 weeks of no running gave the body some rest and i was giddy as a schoolkid to get out and do this. Nothing really to report from it only it was great to be back running again.

    Tuesday 10.11.15

    7miles@8.50min/miles in 61mins 54secs(3E, 2ST, 2MP)

    Enjoyed this no end the mix up of paces made it a nice little workout, right quad experiencing some DOMS but coach said to expect that after the two week lay up. Blowing an absolute gale out, hoping this is not whats ahead for training over the winter for Rotterdam.

    Weight 12st 9Ilbs
    Just highlighting this to keep an eye on it and to annoy a Fat Lemon a small bit to(put down the bag of Skittles C:P:P:P:P:P).
