New Year and what's happening

It's now 2010 and there hasn't been a marathon yet. Who's doing one this year? Who's going to run 2010 miles this year (it's only about 39 a week)? I'm not up for that many miles, but a bit more running than last year could be good. And more races.

Here is a pic at the end of the Mooathon. No Pic of Sin yet.

Moo.

As mentioned on Sinead's and my blogs, we ran the Mooathon.

Slightly (but not at all) related: Here is a story about a lady who went amok dressed as a cow.

Mooooooooooooo.

Sinéad and I ran in the 'Mooathon' from Kilmacrenan to Downings. Sin had planned to do it, I was just an interloper. Happy that I did it, 13.1m (21.08km). Feeling very sore yesterday and today. Long way off a marathon (long way off a half marathon, truth be told...)

Finishing time 2:18. No bad considering that there was a mountain at the beginning.

Bought some fancy webbed shorts to hold my bits in place, good but....next time....more vaseline.

5k run and the english channel?

Had a 5k run yesterday, I feel pretty good. I have a bit of a fricton burn on my thigh though, I may need to start vaselineing my balls.

In other news, I have signed up for a relay team to swim the channel next year (late Aug/September).

Run

Well chaps. I had a run today (1.25km) would like to say that legs are fine (Cathy in the gym says that I'd be feeling shins splints immediately). First run that I have had in some time, I'll be building this up slowly. It'll be a good while before I try any road running.

That is all.

It's no secret

Or at least a badly kept one that I have started training for this. Elliptical Training, Rower, Swimming and Cycling. I am going to start on the hamster wheel soon and try to build up some running distance. I know that I harp on about shin splints, so I am going to take it easy and see how it goes. I'll let you all know how I get on, going to combining running with some weight training, so hopefully it all falls into place.

Going to lodge that money now, so Sinead and I can get it all back and go and treat ourselves to some trinkets and baubles.
