Plan today called for 30 mins easy, but since I haven't run in 2 weeks I decided to get tomorrow's run in instead as I'm in London Thursday and Friday and will manage only easy miles on those days. So today was to be 2 miles easy, 3 miles @ 7.00-7.10, 2 miles @ 6.40-6.50, 1 mile @ 6.20-6.30 w/ 3, & 2, min recoveries between.
Still mental at work and I got out to do this in Dangan in the fading light.
Very wet, windy and mucky in Dangan but I was delighted to be out. There wasn't a sinner about and that suited me perfectly.
I'd say I've a few pounds on from the last few weeks and although I didn't have to dig out my elasticated pants I could feel the extra pud as I got a one mile warm up done. It's amazing how quickly you lose fitness and once I started on the quicker stuff I knew I was gonna struggle and every time I ran in a section that wasn't sheltered by the trees the pace dropped off.
Half way through the 2 mile rep I was blowing harder than Gillian Taylforth in a Land Rover passenger seat
Thought I'd have to stop but got some shelter in the trees and managed to finish it out.
Really enjoyed it and I now need to get some consistency going. Bring on project Seville!
Splits:
6.49, 7.01, 7.01
6.35, 6.55
6.28

Today the plan called for 7 miles easy. Work still very busy but at least I'm in Galway till Thursday and that makes getting out a lot easier. Got caught a bit for time but managed to get out to Dangan eventually.
Was very wet and windy again and I only had time for 6 miles very easy around 8.50 pace. Legs were very stiff and heavy after yesterday's session and never really loosened out. Got a bit of chafing around the BB and was manspreading at meetings for the afternoon
Supposed to have a 10 mile progression run tomorrow but I'm getting two teeth out so we'll see what sort of humour I'm in after that.

How's the delph?
Had two big mothers taken out, he sawed them in half to make it "easier" to extract them. Am a big girls blouse when it comes to the dentist and he gave me headfones and some music to listen to, to stop the whimpering! I'd a wry smile to myself as Fun Boy 3's "Our lips are sealed" came on. Couldn't put the implants in because of an infection so I've to go back. Grrrrrr
Missus was texting me after and on one of them she asked,
"What did you get for pain?"
My response,
"You"
'Twas the smiley that saved me!
Was told no running for the day as well so I'll have to try the progression run on the hotel treadmill tomorrow.

Tnx Aquinn.
Not great from a running point of view but the tragedy in Paris puts everything into perspective.
I am however going through a cruel mutation - mid life, and it's not agreeing with me
Was told no running for 24 hours after having the two knashers taken out last Wednesday and I was in London with work on Thursday and Friday. Had planned on doing the 10 mile progression run on the hotel treadmill on Thursday evening but I got press ganged into a dinner in a dining room in the former Baring Banks offices. All very grand, with full waiting staff and a sommelier who rabbited on about each wine served with each course. I didn't give a toss if it was fermented from reindeers haemorrhoids as I was on the sparking water and still harbouring faint hopes of getting my run done! 5 courses and one too many "ye're great lads" speeches put paid to that.
Didn't get back from London till late Friday so no run again. TBH the head has dropped a bit and the body feels pretty run down (typically the gums got infected and I'm on antibiotics for that!) so I sat and wallowed in a bucket of cloying self pity over the weekend. Had hoped to meet FBOT in Dublin tonight for a grumpy auld git bitch fest and a slow run but even that didn't materialise as I had to head back West. Tried hooking up with Tang on the way down for a trot but his head has been turned by Firedance and he'd no interest
Apart from that it's all good
I'm hoping to get a 2 mile run done tomorrow!
You did ask AQuinn
