We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.

Trail Running motivation.

 sure as hell got me pumped today!

Went out today hill running (first of 2012) and dragged along my friend Pat Calnan from my rowing crew, i must say he did not seem to enjoy it quite as much as myself. We set off from my house in the pouring rain and 50km/h winds which was a whole lot worse up the mountain.

         We followed the same route as when i first did a hill run with Donncha and obviously this training is paying off because it was literally half of the effort at a slightly faster pace. We added in a 2km fire road ascent into the run also making it i think 14-15km ? Which we completed in One hour. Im going to try to keep Pat training with me regularly tho with the look he had on his face as we reached the half way point of the run today i see that as fairly unlikely.
    One last thing i want to mention is 1000mile socks, i have worn mine twice now and oh my good god they work amazingly, our run today started off through a bog where we were ankle deep in mud and soaked feet but no blisters, Thanks Bro for them :D

Next training session with Donncha sounds like it will be on Sunday when he finally returns from a family trip so the world can start spinning again.

"If it comes easy, if it doesnt require extraordinary effort, you're not pushing hard enough; its supposed to hurt like hell"

Peace out.
