08:00 - 8 miles easy. Ran without my watch but was probably sauntering along at about 7.30 pace - nice and gentle - followed by a hardcore core workout.
17:00 - 6 miles relaxed. Nothing special - just ran relaxed - probably 6:45 pace.
This rounds off 'another' 100 mile week. Since I've been away I've been building. I'm now up to 100-102 mpw in 13 sessions plus core and strength work. Tomorrow I start training for the inaugral Tralee International Marathon, which kicks-off on St Patrick's weekend 2013 - the race is on the 16th March 2013.
I've been keeping an eye on the site and have been inspired by many of the performances and improvements. Jakers, I could feel the Boston heat through the computer screen as I watched the race.
My goals have changed and I'll fill you in on how I've built up and how I intend to attack those goals. The weight's great - 133lbs (all solid muscle; now, the kids call me muscularites rather than lardyboy). I haven't done any workouts yet nor have I raced. My long run is 14 and I do drop in the odd progression, where I'm getting up to 5-5:10 pace - only for the last mile or so.
Anyway, I'm back and looking forward to catching up...
