    quiet week, itb and knee twinges early last week and i had a 10k on sunday so i didnt want to do too much and make things worse, so took from thursay to sunday off,
    ran 10k race sunday, first 3k too fast, 2nd 3k too slow, last 3k prob just about right, last km i thought the finish was a bit further down the road so left the kick a bit late.. finished 45.05, pb by 40 something seconds, should have been under 45 really.. as usual didnt train properly for it, i think close to 40 is possible with some concentration and proper training.
    holidays in wexford this week, swam every day for the 3 days and ran intervals 1 day on the track in new ross.. about 8k
    back to it today .. short run today, long run tomorrow..

    friday saturday nothing, side of knee / itb still twinging which is worrying, not overly keen on going for long run and making it worse but with 8 weeks to go the mileage needs to increase a lot..think its time to get to the physio and see what they think..
    bad bad bad hangover today.. still hopeful of getting some bit of a shuffle done at some stage but what distance it turns out to be god only knows.. better to do something than nothing though

    6.5k early morning shuffle, knee / itb problems seem to be slowly sorting themselves out, little bit of a twinge below the knee to the side of shin / calf which is getting a bit annoying ..

    athlone half
    1.44.57 which is what i was aiming for, aerobicaly i was comfortable throughout , legs got bit heavy round 16-17k, which tells me that my long runs need to get longer.. took a gel at 19 odd which was possbily a bit late to be taking it , woke up on last km .. and got in where i wanted,
    very warm out there today, i was up early to get kids to grannys, drove 2 hours and only as i started did i realise id had nothing to drink all day, got water at 5k and hung onto the bottle til it was gone which i never do, same at the other 2 water stations as well.. so that probably didnt help..
    saw a few boards heads around in the gym but went to the car to put stuff away and when i went back they were gone..so didnt get to chat to anyone.. sorry..
