I'm a married 35 yr old father of one, started running in late 2010 to accompany my Dad on a race and done nothing again till March 2011. Ran the Clontarf Half that year in under 1.45 and again done nothing for 3-4 months. Started taking it more seriously in 2012 and hoped to run DCM that year but a bout of plantar faciitis put an end to that.

Started back again in October 2012 and from then till May 2013 i was in my best form since i took running up. Ran all my PBs in that period. Cue June last year i went in for a supposed simple operation that would see me off running for max 6 weeks, two knee ops later i'm back running since mid February and back chasing my old self. List of my PBs below:

5k - 18.47 (May 13)
5mile - 31.43 ( April 13)
10k - 41.10 (February 13)
10 mile - 67.39 (March 13)
Half Marathon - 1.31.39 (May 13)

Any input/advice/abuse greatly appreciated.

Great running tang.
Can't say I'm surprised as your Mullingar 10 mile time suggested as much. Didn't want to jinx it though :P

Well done

Congrats Tang - onwards and upwards!

Doubtful, but if ye're right i'll owe ye a pint.

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.

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.

What's your target for Athlone Tang?

Dunno to be honest, running the Clonmel Half Sunday so will get some indication what i may target/be capable of from that.
