It's seems obvious now...

...but try to avoid sneezing when riding home on your motorcycle, especially if the visor's down. Enough said?

GNR thought...

I’m really looking forward to the Great North Run in Newcastle, even if my training schedule doesn’t reflect my enthusiasm… I’m not going to push it too hard during the Dublin ½ marathon (the previous week), I’ll be sticking to my 3 mile run, short walk, 3 mile run (ditto until the finish line) strategy, what can go wrong… just thought of one thing that could go wrong but what are the chances of a grand piano falling from a high rise?

Washout weekend...

OK, pretty rubbish weekend of running, in a word... none! Tuesday AM is the next on the list: 4 miles, then 8 and another 4 before a 10 miler at the weekend!

Ouchious Maximious

A little disappointing this morning... got out early (good start) but started to feel a little achy in my left foot early on. I thought I could run through it but got worse. After almost 3 miles I had to stop and walk the rest of the way. Will ice and rest tomorrow, see how we go. Can't afford to get injured now, especially as time is ticking away for the marathon... less than 7 weeks to go!!

5.6 miles later... feeling good

I was supposed to run 4 miles this morning, but due to my amazingly retarded navigation skills I managed to clock up 5.6 miles. A pleasant surprise and, considering I was out at 6am (that's long before dawn) I felt pretty good afterwards.
