When you run well you feel on top of the world and there is no feeling like it. You feel great, like a million dollars. When things don't go to plan the opposite feeling is fairly crappy.

funny what a couple of days can do...I had a couple of days hols booked to recover so got a cheap mid week break and chilled out..had a few long awaited beers, greasy chips etc...I think looking at the finishing vids had a dramatic effect on me, before I was embarrassed becasue I had a bad race and missed my time blah bah, now when I look at the stupid, whiney, moaney, complaining face on me crossing the finish line I'm even more embarrassed! Especially when I see the guy who went down in front of me 100m from the end being carried over the line by two strangers who stopped to help him, obviously more concerned with his than their own welfare, seing thoses kind of things kind of put the whole thing in perspective.,....another lesson there perhaps
I obviously didn;t train smart enough, I increased my mileage from my 3.42 in kildare in May but just repeated the same miles at the same pace, paying lip service to the areas I really need to focus my training. Roll on Conn 12 and hopefully a reallistic 3.30 or better!!
