I am entered but if this rain keeps up the course will be very haevy which will not suit me. I'll probably be last but will us it as a good training run.
I tried to put the results up on our site but it is playing up at the moment will try again at home this evening.

Hi kenny, out running on sunday. I ran the triangle (14 miles)in 1:46, I could have done a better time if it wasnt for the 60mph winds, I almost went over after the wind forced my legs to tangle!

Was thinking of you on Sunday when we were out did about eight miles very tough when running in to the head wind.

good fun from Portrush - Portstewart.
I was thinking of giving up on the way to Portstewart cos it was so tough but I just kept going, I was feeling it a small bit on monday.
Are you doing any long runs this week?

Kenneth Bacon

I was going to do a long run yesterday but found the bed hard to get out of so it will probably be Sunday doing speed work tonight, circuits tomorrow and about 6.5 on Thursday.

James the civil service is x country. A good 5 mile race. Everybody goes at the one time. Early start for us to travel up. If there is not too much rain you could get away without spikes.

On for 16 tomorrow in 2hrs, providing i dont over endulge on the red tonight (birfday drinks and all). Am using th RW schedule for sub 3, week 5 this week for my belfast prep.

done 8x300m hills today (not on schedule but i like to do hills each week on a thurs), why do they hurt even more when its cold wet and windy.

Kenneth looked at the flyer at the club for saturday, first junior race is at 11, men at 1130. But 1030 is good enough not to miss it. There is usually a foootball match on in the bar too after the run.

James what about stranraer??

Hi everybody - I had a good week this week as I covered 48 miles. I did a long run today (18 miles) in 2 hrs 54 mins - quite slow 9.66 min/miles. It was extremely cold with a chill factor from the north wind. If I can do another couple of weeks like this and then taper for the Galway marathon I'll be content enough.

James Hislop

I was thinking about the Stranraer but decided against it, too much expense and both for a 1/2 mara, if it was the full 26.2 I propably be signed up already.

I done another 14 miles on sunday and I'm getting quicker.
Last week with v.strong winds I done it in 1:46, I ran yesterday with a friend and finished in 1:40:44,conditions were good.
I had to slow down some of the way as my friend was stuggling with the pace.

What mileage should I be doing now, I am comfortable throughout the 14 miles and probably be able to keep the pace for at least another 4 miles.

Baldy what time would you be looking for at the Belfast mara?

Kenny could I join up with you on thursday's training.
