I had that 8 miler on tired legs on Monday and some solid strength training on Tuesday. This was followed with the club 4 mile handicap on Wednesday night so with warm-up and cool-down that makes at least 6 miles. Thursday was 4 recovery miles catching up on a friends holiday and then Friday I did another 8 miles on the Curragh pushing myself on hills and into a strong headwind on the flats. I rewarded myself with pizza and wine!
Today was a leisurely hike with a friend from Ticknock to Johnnie Foxs pub (I was a JF virgin up to this point) and back. One pint of the black stuff each was purchased to punctuate our journey and the conversation flowed from the first step to the very last. Oh and the sun shone unexpectedly. Can't ask much more than that of a Saturday afternoon!
I'm hoping to get 10 miles in tomorrow morning with some of the running club......hopefully someone slow will show up or it will be lonely out there! I had better bring my headphones just in case I'm on my own.
If I include the hike that will put my mileage for the week well into the mid 40's which is exactly where I want to be right now. Feeling very happy with my lot in life right now!
Oh and I may have the beginnings of a team for the Sionnach Relay (same as Ragnar in the USA) which is something I wanted to do since it was first announced but I couldn't find anyone to do it with me. We have four now so four to go and we are all set. Yay!
