It’s been quite a while since my last blog post. The last few months have been tough. I’ve gotten over the hip issues but the abductor and psoas pain keeps coming back. All the complaining aside my training is going better than it has gone for at least 8-9 months if not a bit more. I have been doing runs at lunch time and it’s made a massive difference.

Last week Sportsworld celebrated 30 years. It was a great night that reminded me why I love the sport.

Tomorrow morning is the Rathfarnham 5K, one of my favorite courses. It always helps to know every inch of the course on race day.

In 2009 I ran 16:05 and in 2011 I ran 15:42 which is close on my PB for the distance. I haven’t ran under 16 minutes in 15 months. Tomorrow marks a fresh start.
