Ordinarily I'd say yes but the youngest is making her communion the following Saturday so I'd say we might be up the walls -party in the house seems to necessitate the paint brushes coming out that week etc :rolleyes: Will keep it in mind though - thanks

Look you are going to have to prioritise here. Which is it? your family or your running?

In all seriousness if you can't make a race, could you test yourself out on a time-trial? Give yourself 8 weeks and then reassess over the same course....

see what you did there by asking for advice ? You let them in. Now you'll never get rid of them...

Sorted - got the kids an annual pass to McD's - they can comfort eat for the year & won't have the energy to play sports :rolleyes: that would free up the time that 5 matches will take this weekend !

Seriously though, I'll either sort something over the next few weeks or do a time trial as you suggest.

There are ways & means if I need rid - I've seen how it works on other logs

Naw - they're most welcome as long as they behave :cool:

is that like Tunguskan pain management while running? Can you welcome them and then banish them

If they get out of hand I'll have to banish them to, oh I don't know, maybe someplace cold with the next Boards marathon outing

If they behave they can stay

I am trying out the log to see if it makes me more consistent (shame me into it really). I welcome any comments etc..

Any training going on in here?

Has starting a log shamed you into being more consistent?

Hi Wowzer. Thanks for your interest. I have been fairly consistent since the start of the year anyway but I suppose the log had been responsible for one or two runs that might otherwise not have happened.

wowzer · 13-05-2015 07:45AM

I noticed that you don't race, anything planned soon to test the training?

kit3 · 13-05-2015 09:57AM

This year so far I've just done a marathon in January (as a training run for Donadea) and the 50K in Donadea. I'm hoping to do the 10K in Dunshaughlin in June to see where I'm at and to focus my training for the summer. Should be interesting as I haven't done a 10k before (pb guaranteed :rolleyes:). I haven't signed up for it yet as I have to make sure that there's no family stuff happening that it would interfere with - kiddie stuff comes first if necessary. My main aim this year is to put in a consistent effort & give DCM a good go. Other than that I'm planning on doing the race series half in September.

What are your plans ?

jeez, you are really slacking off... only a marathon and a 50k... tut, tut

Yeah, I'm a slacker - although trying to go for a bit of quality (for me) now

walshb · 13-05-2015 10:55AM

Hi, will follow your log if I can. What's your average weekly mileage?

kit3 · 13-05-2015 10:59AM

Hi, averaging out early to mid 30's I think depending on outside factors. That's what I'm aiming for at the moment anyway.

Sign up for that 10k in Dunshaughlin, sure don't we all have kiddies and real life stuff to worry about, if you really want to do something you have to make it happen ☺

I saw you have done donadea, did you race it properly or did you do it just to tick the ultra box?

It has been mentioned here before but I think you would definitely benefit from joining a club or getting some form of coaching. And I'd leave DCM out this year too, a solid year of club training and racing the shorter stuff would knock chunks off your marathon times if that's your goal..

As for me I got no plans really, maybe Berlin later in the year, I'm enjoying my running that's the main thing.

Reckon I'll be in Dunshaughlin alright once we're not west that weekend. Not sure what age your kids are but I'm finding it crazy at the moment (e.g. 5 matches in two days last weekend - even with two of us doing it it's full-on)

. Kids are 13, 11 & 8 so can't be sent off on their own yet.

Fell into Donadea by accident in a way (thanks UM1

) - really enjoyed it but see it as unfinished business. Will definitely be back to do a great event more justice - I've more detail on that somewhere else on the log & on the Donadea thread too if you're interested.

Fully agree about the club & as soon as I am in a position to do so will join one - unfortunately it's not a runner (see what I did there :cool:) at the moment but as soon as I can.....

I also see what you are saying about leaving DCM but I feel I can make an improvement this year off consistent training - I love the event & it's definitely going to be my main focus for the year. As Meno said above, I have a bit of time before getting into specific marathon training to work on some shorter stuff.

Best of luck with your training - good to hear you are enjoying your running.

Your concern for kits training is heartwarming. Really its so nice to see someone care more about anothers racing than focusing on their own goals. You're the best!!!

Oh and by the way your response is a classic example of why many choose not to post in other people logs.

I think you've misinterpreted me. I was genuinely showing my appreciation for your comments.
To show such interest and concern for the racing career of another person the way you did especially when you yourself are doing nothing........you're awesome, we need more of that around here!!!!

Why attack me when all I'm doing is giving a little advice on a log. I'm sure you are man enough to admit that you were trying to be a smartarse and attack me?

?? I don't think anyone is attacking you in fairness - I took Tunguska's comments to be genuine as I did yours - I wasn't wrong was I ??

Edit - That's not Tunguska's form - he doesn't do that as far as I've seen

I am genuinely shocked by these comments. I'm not being a douchebag, I'm being straight up and showing my appreciation of your support and interest in kit's training and racing.
