Hope it's not a precursor to the dreaded man flu...... God forbid.......
Oh Jaysus I will put the HSE on stand by in Galway.0 -
Still not running
Bit of a chest infection and on meds. Feel a bit of improvement but waiting till I feel 100%.
It hard being on the sidelines, feel like I'll be starting back from scratch again(I know it will not be that bad but still, doubts).
The usual, everywhere I look I see people running and I'm missing it terribly.
I suppose I could look at it positively and say I've no goal race in the next couple of weeks, so the timing isn't to bad
Looking forward to getting back though...0 -

Not so good K, everything is dropped. Pain/discomfort just bending down so nothing being done ATM. Throat at me now to add to the woes but sure I'm not one for complaining.... :pac:
Us men just try and tough it out as best we can, we try to keep the extreme pain we are in to ourselves and look for no sympathy... cough cough..... Eurrggghhhhhh 0 -

You re a hero Marty, no doubt about it! I'd say you are on deaths door really. Hang in there.0 -
Tuesday 25/11/2014 11km @ 5:12/km ~ 7 miles @ 8:22/mile
Wednesday 26/11/2014 8.5km @ 5:42/km ~ 5 miles @ 9:10/mile
So, another visit to the doc last friday and now he says it's now a virus:rolleyes:
Told me no running and just rest is about all I can do. Gave me prescription for anti inflammatories for my throat and off I went... 50 quid lighter...
By Tuesday I had enough and headed out. Tough going and felt slight niggle on the outer contour of right calf. Nothing serious just a bit of tighness and the odd warning twinge to let me know to take it easy.
Wednesday was a short recovery run, no niggle.
Still, I feel on on the mend and happy with that... easy does it 0 -

Saturday 29/11/2014 11.5km @ 4:45/km ~ 7miles @ 7:39/mile
Sunday 30/11/2014 16.2km @ 4:47/km ~ 10miles @ 7:42/mile
Body still not 100% but still improving. Hopefully over the course of next week i'll be right again, it's been a right pain in the ass but still, there are others worse off.
The last few runs have been getting gradually better. Might lash off a 5k race next weekend to kickstart something, maybe a race environment will shake me up a bit
Nice running about the town lately, feeling very Christmasy with the Christmas market and funderland down by the docks......
I must be going soft in my auld age 0 -

Wednesday 03/12/2014 *10.2km @ 5:00/km ~ 6.2miles @ 8min/mile
* Garmin had a bit of a hissy fit, but values are close to true from going through data
I've been thinking about this log..... Looks like I'm a bit mad giving distance in two formats, and even 'madder' by going into decimal points....
I may start to streamline(conform)...... I'm torn though, I hate giving in, even when I know I'm wrong 0 -

Walk towards the light Marty, walk towards the light good man!0 -
Thursday 04/12/2014 8.4km @ 5:53 ~ 5.2miles @ 9:28/mile
A nice recovery run in the driving rain and a windchill that had my fingers numb for most of the run
Not sure if I got lucky but probably my most consistent splits..... EVER

Saturday 06/12/2014 Rest
Sunday 07/12/2014 Carnmore 5km 'Turkey Trot' 20:15
Well I had a feeling this would be tough and I wasn't far wrong
3:57, 4:11, 4:08, 3:51, 3:57
From the splits you see I found k's 2 and 3 toughish. Bit blustery but in honesty, I was just lacking some oomph on the day:D First 5k race effort in a good while so can't really complain to much, all things considered, I'm quite pleased.
Had a look around the place afterwards for the running gigolo, but couldn't be certain of who this suave gent is. To spare a possibly embarrassing moment, I baled after a cuppa and some brack 0 -

Nice run to blow the cobwebs off. As cm says it sets you up nicely for the 10 k.
Strange you didn't meet Austin Powers - international man of mystery, he's usually in his crushed velvet purple suit

Monday 08/12/2014 11.5km @ 5:00/km ~ 7miles @ 8:03/mile
Nice run this evening, cool out and traffic at a standstill, just what I like to see when out running
Nice hot shower after and when drying off noticed a toe nail almost gone. Not in a gruesome way, 2 nails went black towards the end of DCM build up, and have been keeping an eye on them. The other should be due off soon enough too. Fresh nails growing underneath.
Isn't the human body facinating 0 -
Tuesday 09/12/2014 8.6km @ 5:31/km ~ 5.3miles @ 8:53/mile
Wet and windy here in the west. My face was bitterly cold running into the wind/rain initially, so bad that it was so cold it was painful
Was fine after about 2 miles though....0 -
Wednesday 10/12/2014 16.3 km @ 4:56/km ~ 10 miles @ 7:56/mile
Another wet and wild one :eek: Enjoyable all the same, wasn't as bitterly cold as last night
Christmas party season here. Lots of invitations coming in for work nights out and friends nights out. I'll be limiting them though, not just because of running, I'm just not able for those mad night out anymore..... (only the odd time )
Hit the 2,000 mile mark for 2014.0 -
