Took a days rest and on Friday I did 2 miles very slow around Salthill prom and directly after the run I added to the water pollution in Galway Bay by having a quick swim in "ladies beach". 'Twas mickey shrinking cold Took another day off on Saturday and ran 36 minutes on Sunday, my longest run to date. Was in Paris on Monday and London yesterday and didn't get an opportunity to get out for a run. Today, I wasn't feeling the love at all, feel like I'm falling apart bit by bit, need my eyesight tested and spent 2 hours in the dentists chair. Niggles real and imaginary are flaring up. The only part of me that seems to be regenerating is my belly, (one of the lads at work asked me was I putting on some pud!!!) so I decided to hit the UCG pitches around Dangan and attempt a 4 miler Nursing Home Special. My cardio is so bad it felt more like the Last Rites shuffle! Managed 4.7miles in 41.22. Foot felt ok, big test will be if I can run comfortably tomorrow Listening to the song below to try and resurrect some love. When this song was doing the rounds most of ye weren't even born and big hair and big flares were cool http://youtu.be/C2q2bis6eLE TbL

Headed up into Seanadh Pheistin early this morning for this. Despite the glorious sunshine I was a little apprehensive about this planned 5 miler as I haven't been able to run comfortably two days in a row for weeks. What a glorious day, I even decided to run without the t shirt. The last time I did this in 2012 a road side caravan dwelling young lad pointed at me and turned to his friends and said "jasus lads look at the knockers on that lad" So every time a car passed me I made a concerted effort to suck in the gut!! Managed 5.37 miles in 52 min 14 secs, pace was slower than yesterday but today was all about getting through it and time on feet. No immediate complaints from the foot but on the downside the left knee doesn't seem to be getting any better. All considered very happy TbL

ThebitterLemon wrote: » I'd say that they have probably forgotten the snot inflatable at this stage Aquinn You're right and I need to try and get back into it, I'm a poor swimmer and it's hard to get into the pool with the weather being so good. I've been in the sea more than the pool recently but it's more a very quick dip rather than swimming. Should make more of an effort. TbL

Got a massage after work today and the ligaments in the foot were very tender and a bit inflamed but she said it had come on in leaps and bounds. Got a plan for the next few weeks from Ecoli and it's great to be back in a cycle even if the next few weeks is mainly building up easy miles with the tempo stuff been done for now on the cross trainer. Plan now is to target an Octoher/November sub 3 marathon. Coach not entirely convinced about the Achill half but we'll see how I progress. TbL

Was gonna do it this morning but was been eaten alive out in the garden by small cannibals otherwise known as midgets by the Connys (midges!). Decided to put the run off till this evening and headed off over Seanadh Pheistin in glorious sunshine. Found the whole thing a bit of a struggle, decided to try and test the auld Diesel engine and do a "fast" mile. Took advantage of a good downhill and my recently acquired belly overhang to get some forward momentum going and try and do a sub 8 min mile. Felt like I was running through jam and was all over the place finishing it in 7.54! Felt worse than some of last nights beer milers looked Got 6.51 miles done in 58.34. TbL
