Good to get the session done Kenny.

I was out for a few hills tonight myself and even surprised myself with a sub 7 m/ml on the way home... haven't seen one of those on the watch since 2006!

Maybe see you at Larne Martin - I haven't signed up yet but will be soon!

Heading for the Armagh road races this evening. Really good lineup in the elite races, should be enjoyable to watch.

It happens Martin - it's all about reshaping the plan when needs must I suppose so good you got that fast 4 done instead.

I had to go back out to work tonight so bolted my Valentines steak down in my rush to get back out to work... got home later and got out at 8.30pmish for an 8 miler. Not a bad night to be out - dry & bright.

Great night of racing at Armagh last night, the speed of the elite runners is astonishing. Plenty of local runners posted very good times in the race as well. There wasn't a tv camera to be seen which is a scandal given the standard of competition IMO. Local media has never given this event the profile it deserves.

Saw a few pics from Armagh on facebook Paul- looked good... pity its not given some coverage as you say.

Good running Martin & Kenny! Hope that sun holds for my Sunday long run!

Paul, I agree my brother lives there and he thought it was just a local run, to be fair unless you looked into it in detail ,the calibre of the runners,the previous times posted, you could be forgiven for making that mistake which seems a real shame .

Ricky good luck for Sunday

10.61 miles banked this morning. First time into double figures since Christmas. It was a lovely morning for running once the sun burned through. Lovely to see the snowdrops in the hedgerows.

Too good a morning not to do it Martin. 4 weeks not to get sorted for Larne.

Nice one Kenny - great morning for running.

Myself and Alwyn got 20 done. First 14 mls @ 9.26 pace and lifted it a bit for last 6 @ 8.42 pace.

Hard work last 3 ... Alwyn kept me motivated during those last couple to maintain the pace & our last mile was our fastest @ 8.28

And Martin I didn't touch a telegraph pole all run although I did greet a few solitary magpies.

Ricky and Alwyn well done the first big 20 , Ricky always best to be safe were magpies are concerned

Can't be too careful Martin ... a slow recovery 3 miles on the treadmill this evening after yesterdays long run ... not a magpie in sight this evening.
