    The foul for the penalty happened outside the square, Philly McMahon should have walked as should Cluxton for kicking Aidan O Sea, I could go on.

    Good man tang, I was beginning to think I had been imagining things :P. I'd say the ref was not with one side or the other, he was just plain woeful all round.

    oh yeah, It seems you may have been doing just that :D:D in fairness I said exactly that for the Tyrone match, ref was unfair to you on numerous occasions - see, we can be supportive of other teams!!!

    He has only himself to blame really, he did get some early kicking practise in with O Shea!

    Was on Skype to my family yesterday evening & my sister is not too happy that the replay will be clashing with her wedding ;), the dinner starts at 5pm. She doesn't like the idea of being stressed out at this important time ....

    Monday 31st August 4.14 miles @ 10:15 avg hr 150. Lunchtime run with aquinn, rained half way through which was actually lovely and refreshing. Legs felt a smidge tired after yesterdays run but felt good aerobically. Thanks for the company as always a!

    Not a great start to the week mentally. Very poor sleep last night, tossed & turned all night thinking about races & pacing :rolleyes::rolleyes: Got up this morning and went through my August miles thinking that I'd feel better when I looked back over the training. I lost a week after the disaster of RNR so mileage for the month is only 126.2 including today's 4 miles compared to 142.5 last month so I haven't done the miles I should have coming into this race, I've only had 3 speed sessions one of which wasn't what it should have been so the negative thoughts far outweighing anything else. There's nothing I can do at this point now anyway. I just need to do the best that I can with the work that I've done and see what the result is. If I could turn off my brain now that would be great - also, it seems that no matter how many pace calculators I look at the maths are still the same....

    plan for this week is 4 miles (today) 5 miles (tomorrow) S&C(wed) 4 miles with strides (thurs) rest, race.

    OR.....You could consider that it's your second highest mileage month of the year, remember the recent sessions that you nailed and embrace the fact that you are running pain free ? PMA, isn't that what we were telling the novices last week ;) ? You'll have a good race, I have a sixth sense about these things :D

    yes, you're right of course, thanks :) hopefully a good nights sleep will see a more positive frame of mind!!

    Tuesday 1st September Does anyone else get that 'have I forgotten to do my homework' :eek: feeling, even though its about 100 years since I left school :D

    Slept like the dead last night after some more tree trimming/garden clearing yesterday eve so feeling much more human today.

    5.2 miles @ 11:12 avg hr 134 kept this veery slow & easy, concentrated on form, running tall and engaging core, and breathing, found a nice slow comfortable pace early on and worked at keeping the effort level the same. All ok, slight niggle still in my right IT band, I think this is from me working on my form and therefore changing it slightly so using different muscles. Will monitor that..

    There have been times it's better off without me as it's been safer on it's own.

    Anna with the lake obstacle looks like we will be having coffee and cake at the finish. We'll see them all there?

    myself and ms. quinn are planning cheerleading duties, but starting to realise that we should have picked a race closer to civilisation.... we might have to bring coffee and cake with us...

    Bring a snack for while you're watching, then slip quietly round the finish and no-one will notice you having one of the famous cakes ;)
