Well done!
+1! Really well done Anna! Great to see you getting the mojo back! Lots more improvements to come very soon and looking forward to hearing all about them!!0 -
I was getting very confused there, wondering how I missed you so near to me and why people thought I was from Dunboyne All that nervous energy did you no harm anyway - you were well under target. As you say, great confidence boost and good to get an indication of where you're at after recent training, plenty of time before Terenure now again. A few similarities of where you struggled same as myself!! 0

Thanks all for the encouragement ^^^. I appear to be inventing a new form of training -- one week on, one week off.
Tuesday-Sat
There I was basking in the afterglow of Dunboyne, no ill effects at all, feeling good... When I managed to pick up a keyboard injury. Ridiculous though it sounds, from having the keyboard at the wrong angle, I somehow pulled something in my neck/shoulder and was in a lot of pain with it most of the week...very little sleep and no running. I thought it would be OK to run, but was mainly too exhausted to get out early or late.
Sunday, April 10
So, went out this morning before D did his long run, but had to come home after about 10 mins. The shoulder was just too sore, so thought it better not to run. Walking is much less painful, sitting is the worst... Maybe it's a reaction to being back at work.... ! It's not as painful as it was earlier in the week, so hopefully improving.
I did get out to marshal the new course at St Anne's parkrun yesterday with aquinn, lovely morning for it and fun to watch people puffing at the top of the hill. Can't wait to try it.
Tuesday, April 12: 32 mins easy in the evening sun
5.5K @ 5:47; 3.4 mi @ 9:19
Got home from work at a reasonable time, left D cooking pasta and headed out into the glorious sunshine to test the shoulder. It was sore throughout, but nothing like the pain on Sunday, so achieved my 30 mins easy.
Went out to the seafront, first time in ages, it was buzzing, nothing like evening sun at long last to get us all out running, walking, cycling. Pace was at the faster end of easy, mainly because a girl ran past me at the dart station, then stayed about 10 feet ahead of me... We both stopped at the lights at Alfie Byrne road, and I said feck this, I'm going to make her work harder to stay ahead of me. Didn't see her again until I turned back for home
Home in time for a lovely pre-Boston pasta dinner. And discussion of imaginary pre-marathon aches and mystery illnesses

Pacers definitely a big help, hopefully I will see them!Well done Anna - sounds like a good race. Seems like a fair few here are doing Terenue - couldn't run it last year due to injury so planning to give it a shot this year! Might see you there.
Cool spaceylou, hope to see you there. Really enjoyed it last year.hillsiderunner wrote: »Congrats on the sub-34 anna, six weeks to sharpen should bring you down to 8min miles for Terenure

Wednesday, April 13: 40 min easy with unexpected company
6.1 k @ 6:26; 3.7 mi @ 10:21
Dropped the 7 year old to GAA training and headed out the sea front onto the bull wall. Had to stop to take a work call on the way back, started running again and passed BG going in the opposite direction, figured she might overtake me on the way back in.
D had taken the 5 year old for a 'walk on the seafront', so I ended up running the last 1.5k with 5 year old attached.... Literally. Can I hold your hand, running and chatting, abandoning D to his walk. I did slow down a good bit, but he had loads of energy... Darting off to try the exercise machines. Then stopping, then sprinting again. As BG says, 5 year olds don't do pacing
Good run, if a little bit erratic, shoulder a bit sore but much better again today and last night.0 -

Definitely packing the runners!! Hope you are too? I actually looked to see if there is a parkrun in Boston, but the nearest one is Washington DC! Ridiculous. Checking to see if D has a pulse, he's so chilled about it all. Really looking forward to it now.Shoot, sorry to hear you're injured. Love it when the competitive edge comes out even when you're on an easy training run, I always doing the same thing
Hope the packing is going well
:eek: it's only Wednesday!!!!0 -
