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: 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: Things can only get faster
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). View my complete profile. All work and no play.

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.

Until the next time. Despite all my injury woes this winter I actually feel I'm pretty fit at the moment and would love to get some solid weeks in and see where it gets me. Cross your fingers! Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Good and bad news. Monday, February 4, 2008. What would I have done without it? So an ho...

Running with Mainers: August 2008
http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2008. I like cut back weeks! Feeling decent at the moment and looking to beat my half pr next Sunday up in Cleveland. My gut feel is that I should be in mid 1.12s shape, we'll see. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Dried out and humid. Certainly could feel the humidity today! After a very stressful day at work I had a timely massage and it feels good! Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Record breaking rainfall here. Charlotte under water in many places! Tuesday, August 26, 2008. After a rest day y...

http://paul-mainwaring.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. First off, best wishes to Tusca, sounds pretty scary. I am travelling to England for our yearly visit to family and friends on Thursday and am planning two races over there. This weekend a 10k at Chirk Castle near my parents' house in Wales. I believe it will be the first time I have ever raced in Wales despite having lived near the border for 16 years of my life! 24 days to beat! Saturday, March 29, 2008. My legs were feeling really good in the warm up (3 miles) but that was temp...
