Psychological issues

Back on the Bus today to start up once again post injury, Was out back in the park early and after running easy with a client (used more as a warm up ) I decided to do 3 flat loops on the path ( 3.7k) to see how the injury was. So armed with the 'Best of British' Music on the trusted i tunes but minus the GPS i was off on the comeback trail.
Felt OK on the first lap coming through bang on the 17 minute mark, and got a boost as 'Love will Tear us a Part' blasted out as i begun the 2nd. Tried to pick the pace up slightly and was still feeling OK even if i was breathing heavier. Legs started to feel it on the 3rd but held the form and was happy to finish off in 49.26 for the 11.1ks
Laps were 17.00, 16.30, 15.55
Glad to get through that one and was pretty tired this afternoon, even missing my Monday swim, although will be back in the pool tomorrow and hope to knock out a bigger set then.
So Back on the Bus for me, now i just need to get Enda back racing and Throw him UNDER the Bus :)

Forget to mention yesterday , after running around the park in the morning, I called over Davie Kanes house for a cuppa ( or three) and the poor chap seemed to have a lot on his mind ( and it wasn't just looking after the kids whilst the Good Wife was out on the town drinking ) ..........No, this was more serious - and this is where the title of today's blog came from. It appears Kanser is having a few psychological issues in that he is still to get his head around running a good Marathon time. Chairman Tommy H has picked up on it a few times and Kanser still has yet to master one?
It got us then thinking who else in the HuRTS team is also having the same problem? and this is what Kanser came up with ( probably trying to deflect some of  the attention away - if you ask me )

Mikey Conway - Unable to run sub 35 mins for 10k, Despite training the house down Mikey has still to run a sub 35 after having 294 attempts, not to mention costing Tom and Kanser a fortune in lost bets and is still looking for that elusive first.

Tommy Highnam,  The 8 second Man, seems unable to beat former HuRTS #1 Tucks despite running very close and applying much pressure is unable to get within the 8 seconds ?

Dave Kane - Unable to string a good marathon together despite having a 'Masters Degree in the Art of Marathon running.Still to run a sub 2.40 ..........Will it ever happen, probably not until Kanser has travelled the world trying to find one that is only 39.9ks ? :)

Enda Stankard, - Unable to get one over young Timmy in a Half Marathon Race, Tried everything in the book to beat me , travelling interstate, sitting on my shoulder for 20ks, even going to the trouble to hire a full time psychologist in Spark's.........all that did was in fact drive Spark's to find help himself and was last seen drinking himself into oblivion
As time goes on surely Enda must find victory over the 21ks someday ?

Also for those of you that do bugger all in the day - except read blogs and drink coffee ( or just bored) i have set up another blog, mostly just focusing on all things Sports related but has a strong football connection.
Still in its early stages yet and like most good things will take time to really deliver - but surely it must already have more substance then some certain J' 'B' Graders blogs :)

  1. I was disappointed Timmy when you said it wasn't your mental issues. I thought Enda had finally broken you.
