Lots and Lots of Irish Gear

Today I picked up my Athletics Ireland gear and racing kit. I was like a kid on Christmas morning. The bag of gear included racing kit, track suit and warm up gear, as well as tons of casual clothes. I have posted pictures below. I am going to be like a little leprechaun walking and running around Barcelona - all in green.

Training:
Shanganagh Park for 70mins. My body is great at letting me know when I need a recovery running day, and today was definitely one of those days. The heart and lungs felt fine, but the body was quite content to plod along. It was a day that I had to ignore the watch and didn't worry about pace or distance. I actually enjoy these days, and I like that my body can control my head and heart and not let me run myself into the ground.
