I'm in a good place. Certainly not race fit but I'm Ok considering I've taken a job as a QS in the construction business so running has become a luxury - like for most people.
A year in the new Job now which I started on August 2017 in Sweden.
I should be transitioning to London soon so looking forward to this venture.
Should be able to join a running club as there's nothing like that i Sverige... This is essential if you want to take this sport seriously. it's just too damn difficult to get the best out of yourself. You need support. That swift kick in the ass. Diamond cuts Diamond.
Hope to get back on the bike to compliment the running also.
Trying to run twice a week as any more is just too time consuming & I begin to take it too seriously. Realistically if I get out once a week that's good enough for me at present.
I've ran maybe 45-55 times between the last post (may 2017) & now (end if Sept 2018) which isn't catastrophic I suppose. I didn't record any of them anywhere as they're all maintenance runs. All runs done on my own - entered 4-5 local running races back in Ireland earlier in the year when I was home but times were shocking so enough said (SOG - 2 weeks before I started the new gig in Sweden 32:08) FOA 17 - had to walk it home, Gort 8km Feb, 21 mins, Headford 18 41:55 walked here too...).
Had been running somewhat consistently until about Nov 17 then the snow meant no road running for bout 3 months. Tried the Gym but I couldn't stomach that... Since that then I've been on survival mode - hopeful in the next month it'll be a new job, new you type thing...
Tonight was a lovely 5 miler that I've done for my 3rd time now in the last 3 weeks. last week was 41:19. today I brought that down to 39:55 where I eased up at the end to sneak in under the 40 mins, could've got 39:20 if I wanted. Easily get this down to 36-38 before I leave Sweden but I'm extremely busy at work so that's just wishful thinking...
Fell tonight - missed the curb & went into the kitty litter - could've been worse :-)
Here's to 1 more.
Attrition. Agility. Agony. Aggression. Angst. Acceptance.
Locked in.
Stay sick, fuckers.
