Did my first run without stopping on Tuesday really happy with that and repeated it today. Had the other half run with me on Thursday morning with a 3 min run with 1 min rest.

Had a chat with physio after core about getting back training with the club, going to wait till next month to start that and going to drop a group or two so I can get into it easier.

Also going to increase my long run each week and go from there.

Remind me what your injury was Darren, it seems to have set you back quit a bit to be considering pushing Marathon out to 2015?

Even before the marathon the plan was to do shorter races then do the marathon the following year.

Injury is getting better, how are you getting on?

No marathon for me this year. Injured too. Hopefully can get back running soon,within next couple weeks

Sorry to hear that right choice I think, At least you have London to aim for

It's been annoying me all week that I should be doing my first marathon tomorrow, even had an offer for a number for Dcm but I declined (God I hate being sensible) But I know my time will come. M

Finally got out for a run. As expected my fitness level has dropped a lot but delighted to get back out.
I have been thinking a lot about next year's DCM I will see how my training goes until the club is looking for members to do the marathon.

So I have a few races in mind for next year mostly 5 and 10k races and Dublin Race Series.

Samsung 10k
Great Ireland Run
Boyne 10k
Bohermeen 10k
The Longest Day 5k

Apart from the injury I think I had a good year, The best race that stood out for me was Fingal 10k with a pb of 46:40 never thought Id hit that time.

Thanks to every one who took the time read my log and gave feedback,
Anyway hope everyone has a great new year.

Really wanted to just get some time on the legs here, parts of the town flooded at the local park and had a swan blocking my route as I ran closer the swan was not impressed with me, started to expand his wings so I elegantly did a u turn:o.

I didn't get out Tuesday due to a 15 hour shift:mad:, got caught in the wrong group on Thursday and boy did I feel it kept with the group for four off the seven 800s.

Did about 8k for the lsr and it probably was the first time since the injury that I felt confident with myself. I'm just going to take it easy until June and slowly build up the lsr and see where I can take it from there.
