Last week finished off with a couple of weekend runs outlined below. After his coming week it will be 18 weeks to Berlin and the official start of Marathon training. For some reason I'm looking forward to it. I don't know why but will look more at what I have planned in next weeks update.

Just an early morning run around Balbriggan. No real goal in mind other than clocking up a few K's. Legs definitely weren't really sure what was going on with the early start and the run felt a bit laboured in spots.

There were no takers for a longish run this week with people recovering from Marathon's and some racing on the track that afternoon. I set off from Stamullen school anyway with my music for a change and headed towards Julianstown and straight through the crossroads. From there around the back roads past Mosney and turned up past Murphy's quarry back to the main road. For a fairly remote road I passed a few runners all enjoying the early morning sunshine. Once back on the main road I headed back towards Gormanston and then Stamullen. To make up the required distance I headed up to St Claire's and did a loop in there before coming back to the school.
Was my longest run for a while but just ran it easy, took the pace display off the watch and just kept an eye on the HR and distance covered. Legs also feeling a good bit better since I switched back into my Brooks Adrenaline in the middle of the week.
Just over 54K for the week. We're not there yet but we're getting there :-)
