back on track... i think...two minds

 After a few on and off weeks it was back to a better routine this week. 3 miles recovery on Tuesday. Hr was low enough 139 with a slow pace 9.20. Wednesday a 4 mile effort at 8.20 pace but HR was in the 150's, not so clever. Day off Thursday - funeral to go to in Ballyheigue. Friday - St Patricks Day - 5 miles a slower pace around 8.55 pace but HR was 146. Saturday I had a bit of get and go to do another 5 miles, no idea of the pace but effort seemed ok enough. Sunday I had it in my head to do 10 miles. I would have liked to do another 4 miles but the chest starting wheezing again at mile 8 so 10 miles was enough. Pace was slow 8.50 but HR was very high 156. 27 miles for the week. 

I could make the Cork city marathon but only if I start upping the long runs over the month of April. 

I am in two minds about that

update - 9th March 2023

 As I feared from my last post I was feeling pretty burned out the Monday after the 12 miler. The headcold came upon me first, then the cough, then the hard sneezing and the flu like feeling a week later.

I only ran 3 miles on the TM on the Tuesday and rested until the Sunday running 10 miles around the town. My mood and humour wasn't good on the week leading up to the 10 miler. I was a bit tetchy and the headcold and sore throat wasn't helping me. Work wise I was stretching myself too thin plus family funeral and a cross country meet with some students in Waterford on the Friday.

The Monday and Tuesday after the 10 mile I was totally immeresed in the cough and chestcold. I had to take the Thursday and Friday off work - the flu thing was making it's presence felt.

Slight recovery this week 3 ml on TM on Tuesday and 5mls outside on the Wednesday but ill again on the Thursday 9th March so I imagine another week lost .
