Running 37:28 [3] 6.97 km (5:23 / km) +168m 4:48 / km
ahr:130 max:156 shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Waited out all the nasty rain and headed out in the beautiful evening sunshine. Still feeling a bit lethargic and bunged up but much better.
For the first ten mins or so my legs and muscles felt like they had spent the last four or five days doing nothing but sit around and stiffen up.......improved a bit after that and running became a bit less of an effort.
Could tell I wasn't 100% but heart rate and perceived effort level both felt okay, just need to shift the rest of the stuff off my chest before next weekend now.
Could do with a forest session and some reps/strides before Saturday. Could do without planned London trip on Wednesday!

Timely weekend at home. Feeling improved after a long sleep but definitely not doing the SOL. Hopefully able to try a run tomorrow though.

Still not feeling great, worked a pretty short day today.
The SOL on Sunday is not looking too likely at the moment.....

Gutted I am down south and missing the Dumyat hill race tonight.
Good luck to all those FVO folk (and other APers) who are fortunate enough to be racing - conditions this year are PB-tastic I reckon.....

So running last night wasn't such a good idea. Nor was getting up at 0430 for a flight. Very sore throat and generally feeling like death warmed up today.

Running 37:53 [3] 6.98 km (5:26 / km) +234m 4:39 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Decided not to go out as my left foot has got more and more sore in the past ten days (sore enough to wake me up twice during Sunday night) plus have a bit of a sore throat.
But from the kitchen at home the view of the mountain skyline against the soon-to-be-setting sun was just too tempting so I headed out for a (surprisingly easy-feeling) run round Leckie.
For some reason I did however feel like I had just eaten about half a litre of ice cream.......

Running 55:15 [3] 8.32 km (6:38 / km) +276m 5:42 / km
ahr:121 max:140 shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Got to the outskirts of Larne with time to spare before my ferry, so had time to head a couple of miles uphill on the Ballymena road looking for somewhere to go running. Found the Ulster Way crossing the road at the forest, so followed it out onto the fell where it joins the Antrim Hills Way. Convenient!
Ideal for a pleasant out and back - another gorgeous day and could see down past Belfast and to where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
