West Cork

We had a great 3 week holiday at the cottage in Union Hall. Jenny and I spent the first couple of weeks alone and were then joined by James and Richard for the last week and by Jess for the final few days. The weather was really good apart from a couple of days of rain and we made good use of the boat with plenty of waterskiing and trips to Sherkin Island. We also made good use of the windsurfer and kayak.
On the running front, I kept up the training with daily 7 mile runs through the West Cork countryside. Jenny came with me for all but one or two runs and managed to cope really well with the hilly course. We also hiked up Hungry Hill on the Beara Peninsular with James and Rich.
So al in all a very relaxing few weeks despite all the physical activities!
Now back at work but maintaining the training momentum with some good sessions over the last week or so including hill training at the Devil's Jumps (new pb of 1'38" for the sprint to the summit) and 26k around Hankley Common last Saturday. I also smashed my 10k rowing time and got under 40' for the first time.
