Running with Mainers: Knackered!
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2009/01/knackered.html
Saturday, January 3, 2009. That one's especially for Tim! A very enjoyable run today. Went to the Dowd, ran 4.3 by myself, then met Jocelyn and Adrian for another 4, then Lori, Kathy, Cummins and Adam joined us and I did the 8 mile loop while they carried on. Pace was a lot faster than anticipated but a nice run, good company and chat. Legs were trashed at about mile 14 but more good miles in the bank! Over 50 in the last 4 days! Going to grab some shut eye now while Sophie naps and Emily is out!

Running with Mainers: January 2008
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. Back in the swing. Took today off (instead of tomorrow's planned day off) and will still hit 50 miles for the week so I'm happy with that. Have pencilled in a 5k on the 9th Feb which should give me some sort of a benchmark of where I am at the moment. I'm guessing mid 16s shape. Long way to go. Sunday, January 27, 2008. Overall run was 9.5 miles in 56.50. Weather was perfect- 50s and sunny. I finished workout in just shorts! Spent the rest of the day in the park with seemingly...

Running with Mainers: September 2008
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 13, 2008. Hi all, just quickly checking back in to give an update on how things have been going since the Half. Well the good news is that the legs have recovered well. I didn't run Monday or Tuesday but since then have run 7 or 8 miles nice and easy every day and feel fully recovered from last weekend's efforts. Other than that business as usual. Working too hard and looking forward to the weekend! Sunday, September 7, 2008. Mile 12 I managed in 5.35 then mile 13 in 5.41. Unfortunate...

Running with Mainers: All work and no play
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2009/01/all-work-and-no-play.html
Friday, January 9, 2009. All work and no play. Ok my life since last Sunday has been like this. 5am wake up, go to work. 7.30pm leave work, eat dinner, put kids to bed. 10.30pm go to bed. Repeat. No run since last Sunday. I did step out on Monday but could immediately feel something in my quad and haven't bothered to try running since. No time anyway! So not a great week! Sounds like a fine weekend! I was crazy busy this week, but had the luxury of slacking today! January 9, 2009 at 7:36 PM. Subscribe to...

Running with Mainers: July 2008
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. My Dad turns 60 today. Happy birthday to one of my few readers! Ironically he is currently speeding along the autoroutes in France on his way to Lake Garda in Italy for his vacation so won't get to read this for a couple of weeks anyway! The run today felt more like a chore than something I enjoyed! 785 mile road loop including 8*100 striders at the local track. I felt tired and my legs were stiff and unresponsive. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Chill week planned now until race on Sat...

Running with Mainers: 12/30/08
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008/12/123008.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Took yesterday off in the end. Still plan to hit my mileage for the week if I can double up tomorrow and Saturday as planned. Today it was an effort to get out of the door as well to be honest! Weird my motivation has been lacking the last couple of days- I should be chomping at the bit! Some reasons the motivation might be lacking a bit? Not having any races scheduled? During the weeks it is always bloody dark when I run? Who knows, but hopefully it's just a temporary funk.

http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2009/01/things-can-only-get-faster.html
Thursday, January 1, 2009. Things can only get faster. Well my New Year began with being at my desk at 5.30. Knew I had a day's work to catch up on so got in very early so i could at least head home at lunch time. I'll take today's holiday some other time. We report our half year numbers next week, Christmas and New Year are always really busy for me! Can tell i'm getting stronger but feel so slow and heavy still! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Phyzrunnidad: December 2007
http://hubitron.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2007. My son was born, and life is quite different as a result. The ups and downs of being a parent are exhilarating. When things are good like in the picture from my last post, life is awesome.when he was sick soon after he was born, I don't remember ever being so down. Intense stuff, this life. My 8k in the spring was a full 1:42 faster than the same race in 2006. I set a 20s PR in the 5k on a very windy day on a track, on a training run, running solo with my wife timing me.
