    Fair play to you Tang - if nothing more then its a very decent session with the miles built up in the legs from earlier in the week.

    Cheers D, its a solid session if nothing else which i've been lacking. It was a quick course, you would have ran a fast time.

    Cheers, it was a good bad one. I was only thinking on my recovery run this evening that this time last year i was lying on a couch with a brace around my knee not able to walk. Last night i ran a sub 20 5k, i'll not be selfish and be moaning about that.

    Yeah, in honesty it is a decent time considering the miles in the previous 5 days.

    Today

    4.41miles 40min(9.05min/mile)

    Recovery run after last nights race, legs tired and heavy so kept the pace slow. Last nights 5k could well be my last one of the year, can find no others that are suitable with my working hours for remainder of the year as mad as that sounds.

    Every thing will be at easy pace for next week leading into the Clonmel Half, want fresh legs going into that, so there will be no excuses next week!!!

    Decided on resting today, body feels tired & legs feeling heavy. Since this day last week i've ran 50 miles, which is big mileage for me in the current scheme of things. Working hours are contributing to the tiredness also.

    Well done on the sub 20. I think with a proper taper you would have challenged for sub 19:30 for sure. Like you say though, you gave it your best shot on the day and made sure of the sub 20. Didn't realise until you mention the brace above how far you've really come in 12 months. Very impressive.

    Today

    9miles 70min 39sec(7.51min/mile)

    Consisted of:

    3miles @ easy pace
    3miles @ Half pace(7.10min/mile)
    3miles @ easy pace

    The half paced miles were few secs quick if i'm honest but felt controlled & comfortable. Getting few niggles in the calves and ankles, time to change runners me thinks, current ones have well over 500 miles in them. Rest of runs this week will be very easy.

    On another note looking like i'll make the Athlone Half next month, have gotten someone to cover me work wise. Had our first scan yesterday to and Baby no 2 is fit and healthy thank god.

    Wednesday

    3.5miles 29min 36sec(8.27min/mile)

    Easy run yesterday morning before work, had new runners on and legs felt much better than the previous evening.

    Today

    8.5miles 70min 43sec(8.19min/mile)

    Another easy paced run, legs feeling better again today. Very warm when i done this and the sweat was rolling out of me. Will wear the new runners for the race Sunday, suppose i better nail my flag to the mast and make a prediction:

    Gold Medal: 1.36.xx
    Silver Medal: 1.37.xx
    Bronze Medal: Anything above 1.37.xx

    Am away for few days while doing the race so will have limited internet, will post watch time Sunday shortly after race for those interested.

    I'll hold you to that Tang, I'm sure if you see 1.34 or 1.35 on the clock you will buy everybody and anybody a pint.

    This comeback of yours is mighty impressive so far man, won't be long till you have to change the title of this log.
