Not an easy time

Have not had a good time of it lately, my knee has decided to be very uncooperative and has made it fairly tricky to get any decent running time in. That said, I finally managed to sneak a run in the other night and try out my headlamp in proper night time conditions. Brilliant little toy to have out for a run and almost grinds cars to a halt especially on some of those narrow country roads.

Managed to get a run of half an hour in with little or no niggle to the knee, but I imagine a trip to the physio may be the order of the day yet, just to ensure that everything is in working order for next season when it starts.

Need.a.headlamp

As the title suggests it may be time to invest in a head lamp as its getting particularly tricky to run the roads with very limited lighting.

Need something soon or the runs will be very short this winter

Off I went again tonight and attempted to shake off the cobwebs from the last week on inactivity, even after two runs this week I still feel a bit rusty. I'm putting it down to the weather that I'm not overly motivated but will just have to get moving now again as the Leenane 5 miler will sneak up on me very quick.

Back on the road...at long last

Finally back on the road tonight, i figured if I'm going to get runs in I'm just going to have to go out straight after work. So I headed out while there was some daylight left and hit the road. 

I figured a run around Carraroe tonight, I stuck as much as I could to the roads as there was very little street lighting. 

Nothing much to say about it this evening, was just glad to get back on the road after a week of pretty much zero activity, now to get up to speed for the Leenane 5 mile.

Time to get out of the funk

The last week or so has been pretty quiet on my part and have hit a sort of break in my training, so am just gonna have to get back into it and get out of my funk. The Leenane 5 miler is coming up on the 20th November and is just what I need to get back into it.

Time to get running!!!!
