More busy days ahead in the Kenneally household as More busy days ahead in the Kenneally household as baby Archie joins the craziness.  Running will take a back step for a while but I’m sure he will be showing me how to run in a few years.
Bank holiday Monday was spent in a field running l Bank holiday Monday was spent in a field running loops for 6km of torture. East Cork Novice was held by @carraignabhfearac and as always an excellent run event. Great run from George to help his team to gold, he is the real runner in the family now 😂 a break from racing for me for a while now but must decide what the next target will be 🤔
After travelling to Clare last year for Munster No After travelling to Clare last year for Munster Novice Championship it was great to only have to go 5 minutes from home this year. On a wild day as Storm Ashley pushed through it made for very windy conditions. After making sure the U10s got around safely it was a wait until the last race of the day for the men. The wind continued to blow and when running into it you were almost brought to a stop but great craic with it on your back. Happy with how it went overall. Even with all the rain the course was firm which made for good running

On World Mental Health Day make sure to take some On World Mental Health Day make sure to take some time to get away from your desk and take a #DeskBreak. I am lucky that I can walk away from the desk for the full day today as our company has decided to give everyone a wellness day so no work today. Instead it will be a bit of a run and then catching up on some well overdue chores 🫣

@asics research has found that State of Mind score @asics research has found that State of Mind scores start to drop after only 2 hours of continuous desk-based working, and stress scores rise significantly after 4 hours, highlighting the need to take regular movement breaks. We all say we will take a break but then a new email comes in or someone wants a quick call and that break never happens. But just 15 minutes of physical activity can start to reverse the effects and help improve our wellbeing. 

So lock that computer, get up from your desk and go for a walk, run, cycle or anything that will get you moving. Join the #DeskBreak social challenge and get out and move. 

Head over to ASICS website for more details

Yesterday morning I decided to go out and see how Yesterday morning I decided to go out and see how close I could get to my half marathon PB. With no races close by it was time for a time trial. Setting off with @daveoc87 and @earlybhoy (who decided not to go shopping this week) on a perfect morning for running we got into a good pace and worked well together. At a turnaround for some reason I let the lads get a few seconds ahead and my head kind of went and they slowly moved further away. 

I did what I could and ended in 1:28:30, similar to my last half marathon race but I felt much better finishing yesterday. I will get there just need to get the head right.  On the other hand the lads smashed it.

After yesterday’s race was cancelled due to weat After yesterday’s race was cancelled due to weather warning I managed a wet and windy 15 miles instead. With Dave needing to get the miles in John and myself said sure what else would we be doing so joined him for some. Looking back over my runs it seems like it’s been exactly 3 years since I hit that distance. Feeling great at the moment but can’t find the races to test myself. There is a real lack of 10k to half marathons around unless I travel far for them 🫣. But for now I will continue to enjoy getting out and enjoy my training 

This photo was captured at Greenway Half last month.

Show us your shirt weekend with @the_runnersdiary_ Show us your shirt weekend with @the_runnersdiary_podcast crew last Sunday. Great to get out in a big group and I managed 14 miles which is very rare for me. @asics Superblast 2 are the perfect shoe for those runs. Only a few days until next race, I guess I better do a small but more training

Back on the roads again next weekend with the loca Back on the roads again next weekend with the local Thomas Kent 10k taking place. I have a love hate relationship with 10k but this one is always a great race.  Not too many races planned for the the foreseeable future so I best go out and give this one a rattle. 

Now hopefully a good week of training ahead

The glamour of cross country running. Somewhat enj The glamour of cross country running. Somewhat enjoyed the East Cork Senior Cross Country Championships on Sunday. You definitely have to work hard for the time. What started off as a wet miserable day turned into a scorcher in the end. 2nd race of the day (and second photo here, edited out other kids that were in the pic ) was George making his club Cross Country debut and after a nervous build up he was delighted with it. His team came away with silver. Of course he wouldn’t hang around to watch his dad but I didn’t come away with any medal 🫣

Heading for the weekend but no bike needed. Cross Heading for the weekend but no bike needed. Cross country kicks off on Sunday so a different form of torture to look forward to. Won’t take things too seriously. Hope everyone has fun plans for the weekend

3rd and last tri of the year complete. Always love 3rd and last tri of the year complete. Always love heading to Clonea for @triedandtestedtc triathlon, my 5th time taking it on and it was enjoyable as ever. Even the beach finish was better than I thought it would be. Swam ok, biked better than I usually do and ran well. Finished 16th overall which I’m delighted with. Now to continue my training with cross country season almost here 🫣

Running always helps change my mood. Getting out e Running always helps change my mood. Getting out even for a very short run helps to move my mind and get me on the right path for the day. Running has brought me to places I would never have thought of and has helped me see the world in a different way. Running can be hard but also rewarding. So lace up and get out there and enjoy what we have

Sometimes you have to go out and see where you are Sometimes you have to go out and see where you are at. And on Saturday I realised I’m getting closer but still work to do. I was hoping to PB but the last 2 miles I struggled and lost my chance. In the end missed it by 37 seconds. I was disappointed but then I have to realise that was my first half race since 2019 and I will learn from this one and be stronger hopefully next time.  Finished with 1:28. I know I’m better than that. Hey but at least the weather was like a proper summers day. Now on to the next one which is a triathlon next weekend 🥵

It’s race week and upping the distance. Racing f It’s race week and upping the distance. Racing first half marathon since 2019 and no idea how I will get on. I have been enjoying training and at my most consistent training since probably 2018 but going back into the unknown. Bouncing around 3 ideas on how to approach the race but will make a call on the morning. At least the scenery will keep me distracted

3 generations of runners but the talent must have 3 generations of runners but the talent must have skipped a generation. @gerkenneally54 rocking the high tech gear of the time on his way to many times I won’t get close to and then George with his county sprint medal from last Sundays Cork County B Championships. We all talk about how close 100m final was in the Olympics, imagine a 60m sprint with youthful energise bunnies. 0.2 seconds off 1st and .03 of second off 2nd. And let’s be honest he would wipe the floor with me if i tried to race him in 60m. But I will continue to tip away and enjoy running. Just over a week until my next race, maybe one of the 2 of them can pace me to a good time 🤔

Maybe I should smile sometime I might enjoy it mor Maybe I should smile sometime I might enjoy it more 😂😂 #throwbackthursday to Sundays 10k. No race this weekend since George is busy with activities. It with be up early and long run…maybe
