Bloody nipples and chafing where?

Ah no mrslow - I'm really sorry I can only imagine how frustrated you are by all this. Fingers crossed for you.

Look after yourself.

Thanks Ruby, I was emotional on Wednesday night (unlike me) because I felt I had gone through an hour of pain to solve it and I was back to square one.

Tomorrow will tell.

Bummer to hear that Mr slow but stick with the exercises and foam roller and the physio and it will come right. These are the moments that are sent to test us all. Hope that tomorrow goes well.

Thanks, I've had enough of being tested - I should have passed with honours by now.;)

I hope this is going to a nice and slow tearing up of the Park!! It's crap when you get keep getting knocks, but in your case I'd definitely be inclined to give it a go tomorrow...

Thanks Xebec, I'll be ripping it apart in slow motion My plan is to follow the route for the half, taking the loops at Castleknock and the Zoo out of it and add on whatever mileage at the end. (Min 15 max 20)

How does that grab ya?

Sounds good. My plan at the moment is to meet you guys somewhere between Kilmarroon and the Castleknock roundabout - I'll have 4 miles done at that stage so not guaranteed to make it to the gate for 9 - then follow the half course with you guys before picking a point to give me 20 miles arriving back home...

Seeya in the morning

We'll be on Chesterfield ave for a good bit, most likely spot to catch you up, will run on left side with back to Castleknock just to make it easier, I don't expect a big turnout tomorrow. Watch out for one blue knee

LSR Done! 17.55 miles, no real pain I'm a bit disappointed with having to take a couple of short walk breaks after 15.5 - but C'est la vie. Couldn't have run another step if I was on fire, my one pair of 1,000 mile socks were dirty so I paid the price for wearing a cheapy pair and after 14 miles was feeling every step on my feet and just to add to the excuses my 3 year old had me in and out to his room to 'find' the teddy he was firmly clutching.

Muchos Gratias to Rainbow Kirby, she kept me distracted for about a mile and a half. Could have also done with my wingbud and her tow rope to drag my ass on to 18.;)

Roll on the half next week.

The 3 of us felt so bad leaving you like that. When I looked back and saw you running again we were delighted for you. Sorry that you didn't make it to 18.

Thanks jcsmum, I'll get there next time.

I also wasn't wearing my regular lsr top and paid for it in the shower when I got home.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:Chafed nipples are not pleasant!

Good to hear that the majority of today went well and that the pain was mainly absent. As for the chafing and the socks, you'll remember the pain the next time to avoid these things happening again so it was all beneficial for a lsr and for next week.

Every silver lining has a cloud

Went out for a run last night, Kinda enjoyed it - My knees took a while to get comfortable and I maintained an 8:45 min mile. I felt tired before I ran and was wrecked this morning. I'm going to postpone my 9 miler until Wednesday night and rest up then for the half. A nights sleep wouldn't hurt either:rolleyes:

I arrived in good time, time enough for a pit stop and a quick salute at Rainbow Kirby. Met Raycun only to lose him in the pit. Was supposed to be pacing JEmily and had given up any hope of meeting her as we moved forward towards the start line when low and behold I hear her shouting at a spectator, so loud I might add that I found her in 8,000 people!

The race started slowly with people bunching up but by the time we got to the zoo the pace was a solid 8:23 I felt very comfortable up to mile 7 even chatting with JEmily and her friends until I hit the Kyber, their hill training in the bowels of Kildare paid dividends as we raced up at an 8:08 pace and by the time we reached the top my knee and ankle made themselves known and I dropped back to a 9 min pace to try and get my heart rate back under control. By about mile 10 I was feeling fine and cruised along at 8:30. A woman came up beside me to enquire about my chosen charity and promised to log on and donate when she got home, out the far side of the Furry Glen I was feeling tired and my hamstrings were sore, a surprise appearance on Ordnance Rd by my family gave me a huge boost and when I rounded the corner to face the finish line I picked the pace up to 6:12 to charge valiantly over the line in 1:53:20.

How am I gonna run 26.2 in a months time???:eek:
