Thursday 1.9.16

Rest

Friday 2.9.16

7 miles Easy@9.20min/mile again on grass along the Royal Canal to Ferns Lock and back. All good.

Saturday 3.9.16

Rest, at the American Football in the Aviva with herself so no running. Had 6-7 pints then home.

Sunday 4.9.16

Mullingar Park Hotel 10km - 41.32

Had entered this weeks back as I knew I'd be traveling down home on the day for a family dinner, it was in aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital so said I'd do it as a session than flat out as I knew there would be alcohol consumed the previous day. Ran 2 miles to warm up then 6.2miles@HMP 2 miles cool down. Went well and found the pace very easy to maintain for the race, tempted on occasion to go with the few runners who passed me but sense got the better of me each time. Hip behaved itself to and no pain from it. All in all an encouraging run.

Monday 5.9.16

Rest, to hungover to run!!!!

Firedance

So we're not to shout at you today so?!! shocking carry on for an aul fella like you :pac: Glad to see you enjoying your run on the canal, must get back there for one myself before the summer completely disappears...

Was just calculating the other day I've run the best part of half the length of the Royal Canal in various sections, can't remember ever having a bad run along it, such a tranquil place to go for a trot.

That's some turnaround. From 'I'm out for a year' to running a brisk 10 k without a bother. Good on ya. I expect you'll be going for Sub 3 in DCM .

It wasn't as fast I thought it would be for times, mean climb from 5k-7.5k that would slow you down.

Nice comeback, B!

Glad to hear the hip didn't give any bother. Any more races on your schedule??

Mrs Mc

The Longwood 10k in October is the next one I've registered for Marty, not to say I won't do another one between now and then though.

My Physio reckoned my hip nearly came out of its socket, now I don't think that's physically possible to be honest(time for new Physio maybe!!).

You are right.

Eek! Don't say that! I was told years ago by a chiropractor that my shoulder kept popping out of its socket. Now I have concerns I was misled :pac:

Tuesday 6.9.16

30mins Recovery, two day hangover is never good. All done on grass, some stiffness in the legs from Sunday's 10k.

Wednesday 7.9.16

9 miles Easy@9.06min/miles in 81mins 59secs

Done this on roads around home and plotted a route in my head that would be 8 miles, I was a mile over, ah well no harm done and a very enjoyable run. Legs better than previous day and no niggles to report.

Thursday 8.9.16

2mile w/u, 12x45secs @ 5k off 30secs, 2mile c/d.

Having done this session before I was looking forward to getting out to do it. Went to the same location I done it last time which clocked up the 2 mile warm up. Straight into the 5k stuff and it flew past, very enjoyable, past a female cyclist on the 4th one, she wasn't impressed as I heard a few expletives as I past her!! Reps were as follows:

5.51,5.49,5.48,5.50,5.50,5.49,5.52,5.51,5.50,5.47,5.50,5.51.

Can't be nothing but happy with these, felt strong throughout. 6.40 miles all in.

Friday 9.9.16

7 miles Easy@9.04min/miles in 63min 25secs

Is winter coming, Jesus wind & rain of epic proportions in the Royal County today was blown all over the place(by the wind!!) while I was out. Body feeling good.

You're as bad as Auldbot sorry FBOT. That's what you get for frightening the life out of a poor girl on a country road!! I'm surprised she didn't call AGS

She didn't have to cause I had the AGS singlet on, then again that could have been the reason for her expletives!!!

Time to park this for a few months, have neither the desire to run or log at the minute. The mind has sank a bit again, massive well done to Eve McCrystal who just won a Paralympic Gold medal in cycling. Sat right beside her in T'more, a supremely talented lady.

Oh no you don't, get your backside back here - the place would go to rack & ruin without you.

Sorry to hear you're feeling down, stay around though B, if for nothing else than to keep TBL on his toes....

Sorry to hear that, do what you need to do though. I say that in the hopes that maybe you just need a little break and will be back and motivated in no time

Mrs Mc

Sounds like a trip to st Annes park run is in order for a run on DNS with some fantastic company and an owl San pelegrino afterwards!!! 3rd birthday celebrations coming up so there will be cake. Keep smiling

Who da fock is gonna read my log then...

What fd said. Hope you get the mojo back soon, even Enda loses the mojo occasionally. There's always light at the end of a tunnel.

You're one of the best posters on here so for that reason alone would hate to see you missing.

Singer

Take it easy and enjoy the break!

Younganne

Sorry to hear that B, keep in touch and do whatever suits you best, you know you'll get great support from everyone here.
