Today's Irish lesson is 'Ná Páirceáil sa nGeata Led' Thoil' (Don't Park in the Gate Please!). That's right - it's common practice around these parts for people to park in gates... This doesn't even take into account those who smash into gates coming from the pub after buckets full of stout, this is just plain old gate parking, full stop. Around here the most common misdemeanors include: parking in gates, driving on sidewalks, picking fights with hedgehogs, stealing moustaches, tickling tadpoles, walking two abreast on country roads and snorkeling in potholes.
Enough messin'... intervals again this evening but slightly more difficult this time. After a ten minute warm up I had to run four by 1600 meters at pace, with rests of 400 meters slow in between. I found the first set tough, the next set very tough and for the last set I felt like Willam Defoe dragging his wounded body out of the burning jungles of Vietnam in Platoon! Great to get it finished though and to start on that slow warm down when you know you can glide to a nice and easy finish!
Distance: Intervals, 5 miles
Route: The football pitch
Satisfaction: 7/10
Sounds like a tough workout! =)
ReplyDeleteLove the humour, if I did intervals like that I'd park in a gate too.
