Thu: Off
Fri: 7 miles, no time
Sat: 5 miles; 34:37 + a few strides
Sun: ~12 miles, 82 mins (Weeks total: 6 runs, 41 miles)
Mon: 5 miles, 38:16 (seriously)
A good few days running (except today). Legs felt great Friday after physio on Wednesday and day of rest on Thursday. Kept it easy Saturday, and then had a great run with Kim and Tarpy on Sunday. Was longer than the planned 10, but felt good and enjoyed the run. Stiffened up quite a bit after though, and combined with the roughly 10 beers during the rest of the day the body is not feeling too good today. The run this morning was a pure slog.
Had a great weekend with Tarpy doing the 5 year thing here in Dublin. Had good craic Saturday evening with the PC crew over for the Jonesy/Quinn wedding, and then a great Sunday with Tarpy and Ed. Got some good running, good beers and good craic. Definitely not as aggressive as the weekends of yesteryear might have been but did the best we could. Feeling happy with the progress made running wise over the last few weeks, and am pretty confident I am fit enough to begin following last years schedule leading into the marathon. The 20 week training program starts next Monday.

The goggles, they do nothing!
10 miles, 67:24
Starting out, the legs had some real spring in them after not running yesterday, but felt a little tired towards the end of the run, I'm guessing a combo of Sunday's long run and 15 hours in the lab yesterday. College ain't supposed to be like that.
Hittin the park tomorrow for a longer effort, getting 8-10 miles at 'thon pace with a few tacked on a little quicker at the end. Hopefully the weather's as good as it was today, cos it was fantastic. Haven't said that too often this 'summer'.

Oh dear god

If I was suffering from delayed onset muscle syndrome (DOMS) from Saturday, I'm not anymore. The delay is gone, and boy did I feel like ass today. First ten mins I actually thought my ass cheeks had swapped places with my quads. Then it just felt like each leg was like lifting a passed out drunk for a good 40 mins, before finally starting to come around the last 20 or so. Why not run slower? If I had run any slower I literally would not have been able to lift my legs enough to even run, so this was the only pace I could legitimately get one leg in front of the other. No soreness anywhere, just dead flat.
Looking forward to a day off tomorrow, and then a reunion with Churchill, who I haven't seen in about 5 years. Then Ed's in for the weekend. Will fit running in somewhere.

Tired
It's late, I'm hungry and tired. No details today.
Mon: 5 miles, 34:56
Tue: 10 miles, 65:44, followed by the gym.
Legs have some pop, the rest of me is just poop. In desperate need of sleep. Day off tomorrow should aid with this.

Woke up early this morning to run before Coll-ege! only to be in such a tired daze I couldn't remember what day it was and what run I was supposed to do for a good 5 mins. Once I got out I felt pretty good, although the calves are tight still. Tried to hit up the usual pre-gym run at Ringsend park but some lazy bastard hadn't opened up yet, so went down to Irishtown, and the nature park, meaning I got a good half of the run on grass. Had a great sesh in the gym, and a nice comfy trot back to the aportement. Day off tomorrow.

It's ok that mine's not actual movie quality
5.5 miles, 40:00
no HR data
Had a good run today as the sinuses continue to improve. The legs felt good and am happy to be getting back into a normal routine of amateur ass running. Also had a DeCoste moment last night. Was thinking about how to deal with my shin and the things I used to do in college. So I get through whirlpool, the trigger wheel, icing etc. but can't think of anything else. Then boom, the ice cup. Don't know how I haven't thought of these in like 3 years cause they were a god send in college, but am getting back on that bandwagon. One of the simplest, yet most effective shin treatments going. Now no more college talk as all the reunion chat on the email is making the tip of my penis feel all tingly.
