Note
(rest day)

Taking it easy again today but not noticing the calf this morning which I was yesterday.

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Bike
Wednesday - Bike
Thursday - Run
Friday - Bike
Saturday - Run
Sunday - Bike

Or some sort of plan that I don't get bored, going to be hard though, particularly if this 2km limit is extended (probably likely).

Note
(rest day)

Left calf not feeling the best today so will take a couple of days off, work on it, and hopefully get back into some form of exercise, starting with the bike on Tuesday. Typical.

Trails/Road 51:41 [3] 10.17 km (5:05 / km) +156m 4:43 / km
ahr:153 max:171 shoes: Spiuk ZS11

Can't say I was feeling the best this morning but got out before breakfast. When I switched on my radio the first song was "Run" by Snowpatrol so I just went and did that.

A couple of new sections today within my 2km zone which involved some forest. Took the forest handy as it was downhill and I was in runnig shoes. Also hadn't planned on going into Bluepool with the different tracks I was taking today but checking the distance on the watch I felt a short loop wouldn't do any harm.

Legs tired on the road home. Could have done with breakfast

Weather not as nice as during the week today, wet for a short spell and windy.

I've got some map to play with. Not the most up-to-date version of the map, only one to hand, but it's something...now to plan a course.

Loop from home

Same as Wednesday but in the opposite direction. Not as easy this way as the junctions aren't in my favour. Climb is probably more spread out though so breaks in between the ramps. I started the lap down the road rather than up the road today, resulted in some extra climb.

Not was much wind today but did get hit by some rain, light shower on the 2nd lap but only on part of the lap, the top part.

48
49
51
seconds respectively up the Gortagullane Wall. The main problem with the wall is the surface, rough, would be easier, if possible, with a better surface.

Laps were consistent enough.

And it's spot on 9km.

Poulnaderka & Blue Pool

Nicer morning than I thought, felt cold, but head warmed up quickly so took off my hat. I'm not sure running past the CEs house when working from home in the middle of the day is the smartest of moves but I had a couple of hours work done at that stage, so was entitled to a break.

Legs not feeling too bad, tired starting off but warmed into it.

Did 2 different loops in Blue Pool trying to maximise use of the different paths. I did get very close to 2 people though, difficult to get a 2m gap in some places.

Cycling 57:34 [3] 27.79 km (2:04 / km) +288m 1:58 / km
shoes: Spiuk ZS11

3 * loops from home of Lough Guitane & Mangerton Roads

Not the easiest of loops, all 3 of them consistant enough in terms of time. The last one was the slowest but it was the fastest up Mangerton Road, go figure.

Didn't get too bored. Cold into the headwind but not too bad. Weather supposed to involve rain later in the week so good to take advantage of the fine weather while it's there.
3 PM

Walking 46:45 [2] 3.55 km (13:09 / km) +23m 12:45 / km
ahr:97 max:159

Short walk with the family.

Erik is quite demanding in terms of who pushes the buggy, Mummy. So I get to walk along handily enough without having to push what is a heavy buggy with 2 of them in it. I did take over after a while for the uphill part of the loop.

Cool into the wind but grand with it at our backs.

From home taking in Blue Pool & Poulnaderka

Safely within 2km of home

Will keep it as Road since the majority was on that surface. Lovely sunny day. I'll count this as my tea break from work.

Blue Pool has had a bit more clearing done by the Meitheal group, around the pool itself. Looking well as a result.

A garda van and a fire engine passed me on Mangerton Road. There's a gorse fire on Mangerton at the moment. The one in Dinis in the news over the weekend wouldn't have been farmers but this one is likely to be.

Legs feeling tired towards the end but overall they were ok. I have realised that I probably won't be able to see a physio should I need one so need to be careful.
