Today the plan called for another Nursing Home special, not that my flabby self was complaining! 4 miles at recovery pace.
Am over in Manchester staying in what can only be described as a giant shoe box, out near Newton Heath. Some difference in accommodation in the space of a week!! Ran along the Oldham road and although it was fairly cold it was crisp and dry. Glad to be back running to a plan, did it a little quicker than usual in 8.48 average.
Off to Old Trafford, with the young lad tonight

Got back into Galway ftom Manchester, earlier this afternoon, still slightly frozen from an evening at Old Trafford. We had great seats right behind the goal and had access to the International suite.
Not exactly my thing but the young lad had a blast.
Today the plan called for 7 miles steady.
Got out around 5 this evening and ran around Salthill, Newcastle and the prom.
Didn't feel entirely comfortable starting, the lungs were grand but the body felt uncomfortable in a carrying a two stone bag of spuds way! Thought I was tipping along ok till the watch beeped for the first mile, 8.32, sweet mother of god!!! Surprised but not too bothered. Decided not to go bolobas chasing the time and just kept going. There were very few people out along the prom and a lamppost frightened the ****e out of me by talking to me, seems like there must be some new audio system installed along the prom coz it told me to bag my dog litter FFS, lucky someone didn't need to come along with a fire shovel and black bag to clean up after me
Towards the end of the run I cut down a lane way near Pearce Stadium where there were a couple of young wans smoking. When I ran by one of them said, and I kid you not, "Jezus your man has a better arse than me!!".
I couldn't see which one said it but if I was to hazard a guess it would have been the big one with the glasses
Paces were all over the place tonight and I've entered a 5k at the weekend that's goona be ugly!
Total 7.5 miles
8.32
7.51
7.37
7.27
7.01
7.44

All lamp posts in the EU have been updated to give you a reminder after your Lanzarote deposit.
Haha Paulie,
How you doing?
Wouldn't have been a night to have to leave your tee shirt beside the lamppost

Early start this morning as I was over and back to London in the day. Meetings in Central London meant that I had to use the tube. I haven't been on it in months and I'd forgotten how bananas it is during rush hour. The trains were packed and it's like being in a tubular tin sweat box. Every second fecker was coughin or snottin, I'd probably be exposed to less germs in a chemical weapons lab! I was sweating so much the suit pants were sticking to me like cling film.
A quick London travel tip, never stand stationery on the left on the tube station escalators, from the expletives coming from the not so orderly queue forming behind me I think it's a capital offence
Landed in Dublin after nine and wasn't really feeling the love for the planned easy 6 miler. I'd probably covered a HM between all the escalators, elevators and travelators I was on today but once I got to the hotel I slowly got into the gear and headed up the canal from Stephens Green. It was after 10 by the time I got going and there were a fair few Xmas revellers (piss heads) out on the streets. As I was approaching a bar (I think it's called the Odeon) there was a lad facing me pissing in the middle of the path! As I got closer I could hear him roaring in a thick Kerry accent "the Killarney steak is out, the Killarney steak is out"!!! It must have been a minute steak coz although I wasn't looking particularly hard all I could see was steam Took a wide berth to avoid a golden shower!
Beautiful crisp and dry evening for a run with hardly a puff of wind about. Glad I got it done it ended up been enjoyable.
Got 6 miles easy in @ 8.18 pace.

Plan today called for 6 miles easy.
Met up with Ecoli in the PP earlier this morning for this one. He must have been really cold after our last easy run coz he turned up with enough gear on for a polar expedition! Nice cool and crisp morning for it although there was a small bit of a wind that added to the chill.
Did a loop taking in the north road and Farmleigh and we ended up with 6.6 miles at 7.48 pace.
Happy enough the way the body has responded to getting going again so soon after the last cycle. I'm doing a 5 k Sunday but with no expectations or pressure just reacquaint the body with a bit of faster stuff.
I can't do the Tom Brennan so I've entered the Fields of Athenry 10k on Stephens day instead and I'd like to give that a good lash.
Meno if you're about, the race is on for the sub 3 honours

Haha it's a clash of the Tallaght coaches. A cranky aul old school coach and a young buck with his new, modern, fancy methods (i.e. he has actually read some coaching books
)
When is your marathon again? I might have to do Blackpool instead of London to get on there first 0 -

Hey Meno,
I'm in for Boston on the 20th April, but if I see you making shapes towards Blackpool, I might make a move on Barcelona
Don't follow your coaches Ricky Hatton approach to nutrition!!!
What date is London?

It's the week after Boston which why I am considering Blackpool
Let's just agree to fastest wins?
P.S. I am a big follower of the Ricky Hatton post fight nutrition plan, just I am very consistent in that I follow it all year round

It was tough going out there alright
I found it a bit blustery and it took it's toll on me... Or maybe thats my excuse
Was eyeballing around to see anybody with a swarm of hotties around them afterwards, but alas, you were probably gone home
I'm book in for Athenry 10k for a number of weeks now so don't don't I'm stalking you.....
