Felt terrible after yesterday and was struggling to walk properly last night and wasn't even sure that i would make it out at all this morning. Luckily enough the boys were taking it a little easier today and was happy just to cruise along with the banter flying faster then what we were actually running.
Completed the regular 10k loop we do in 44.39 ( 4.30ish pace) before the pace stepped up a little with the Wild man then getting a little bored with Enda's conversation before deciding to run on and join the Elites of Harry, Lara and Co with Sean Williams group.
I tired up a little throughout the 2nd lap and needed to stretch at one point but was happy enough to finish of the loop in 43.27 for 20ks for the day in 88.06
Will just hopefully knock out 20 - 24 ks each week now for the next 5 weeks or so before really trying to step it up for the final 12 weeks so i am in some sort of shape for the Marathon in September just need to keep these injuries at bay.
Been a little debate and confusion on the betting stakes lately it appears with Mr Stankard now welching out of our recent bet saying he only gave me 2 mins when it was 3?. Don't actually think we did agree in fairness to him so it looks like i will just have to miss out and cut my loses on this one, the same as Mikey and his 2 mins that he gave me, where nothing was confirmed.
I will say though - and this is official ...........That Enda Stankard has agreed to give me 2.30 start at the next Striders 10k for June. Even Hardman J.C is wanting a piece of action as well and agreed to go head to head, Both for a friendly $20 :)
Anyone else want to take a few bob of a struggling Young Timmy .......form a queue :)
Added a couple of pics that Kanser managed to take yesterday -
Cheers
That's ok Timmy when you can still run 37:44 running like the Stoke forward line. I reckon by June race you will be sub 37 again.
