C • TGIF 3

Climbing!!!!! Had good fun trying the comp problems and my arms weren't feeling as sore this week so could push a little harder. Need to work on being less afraid on high technical balance things because I'm perfectly fine when they're a foot of the ground. I really need to commit more.

Really lovely lunchtime run. Super easy with Ciara and Lisa. Super up for it and just felt floaty and easy which was nice. We were talking about doing another run now to give us lunchtime run motivation. I'll get them oing yet!

Out through Sandymount to the seafront and then along the seafront to Merrion gates and down Merrion Road. pretty decently close to 5k too so a bit better than the boring UCD run

Legs not feeling great but had a little run around the demesne. Bit of radomising. Was nice but will have to keep an eye on the ankle/shin area.

Going drinking wine tonight with work.

C • climbing 2

Pretty much climbing by myself. Arms weren't the best but I didn't wreck them so happy enough. Was enjoying the new comp blacks :D

Run in the dark 10k. The first two kilometers were just trying to get past the 1000 people that started ahead of me who shouldn't have; I was passing walkers from around 500m. Those two kms were averaging 5:20mins/k pace. Started to get into my rhythm after that and then just kept it steady. I was afraid of going off too hard in the first part and then dying.

Ciara started to pull away around km7 but I just let her go for some reason. Probs should have tried to stick on her. Turning for the finish 1.5k found myself facing straight into the wind in a sea of midgets. I'm sure about half of them didn't clear 5'2". Didn't keep the pace here I'd say and ended up being just over 52 mins in the end 1 min down on Ciara.

Happy enough with it really as I havent done anu tempos for months and very little speed work. It's nice to have a base time that I can build on now. Pretty positive experience. 2nd fastest from work.

C • Congrats 2
