Guys, I’ve started to keep a gratitude journal.

Do any of you maintain one too?

What were you thankful for today pal?

This should help you turn your pain into joy pal. Bressie keeps one I think

I was inspired by our paralympic athletes and they made me thankful to be alive. To love, run, stroll, jump, cycle. To breathe. To live.

Alison Canavan keeps one too. She’s inspirational. I was moved by her Late Late Show interview on Friday.

I didn’t see it but she is a smashing looking woman

All I get from your recent life choices, @bandage, is that you are suppressing all your negative emotions… That’s the wrong way to go about it. You’ll stab your Mrs and her family to death some night soon.

That’s a despicably crass and very upsetting post.

I would have thought that you’d feel very down watching the Paralympics given that they have limbs missing and are beating Olympic 1500m times while you’re still plodding around trying to break 24 minutes for 5k?

It must really inspire you when the lads with one leg are capable of smashing the 25 minute 5k you’ve set yourself

They wouldn’t have made the final.

Am I missing something here?

Just to let you know. I earned my “empathy” badge on here yesterday. So if there is anything at all I can do to help pal

That’s astonishing. Suppose how tactical or otherwise a race might be would be a factor but still!

Nothing stopping the Para athletes qualifying for the other games though if good enough

Four visually-impaired runners placed in that race. That really is a case of the blind leading the blind.

Mate, Karl Henry says 5 minutes per kilometre is fantastic running. He should definitely know.

The semis were faster than final. It was simply a tactical race. Everybody in the able body race has ran faster than that race yesterday at some point.

So basically what you’re saying is that it was an unusually slow final in the main Olympics?

I just checked and they were 22 seconds off the world record as well so that explains it. The article really didn’t go into enough detail.

Still it’s quite incredible for a few blind lads to run that fast.
