Iāll be going for a run later. I feel inspired!
Iāll be around with a sledgehammer to put a dent in your time, and legs.

My great pal and lapsed forum member @Cesc4 is encouraging me to do the Great Limerick Run on the May bank holiday. A virtual affair and you can choose your distance from 5km or possibly 10km (I think) up through the the levels (10 miles, half marathon, 20 miles, marathon). I guess I could work towards doing the 10 miles.
Great stuff. A lot of soft cunts (cc @Thomas_Brady) would have been put off by the windy conditions this morning so I felt the thread needed the impetus of my run.

Fucking wind!! Sure itās with you a long as itās against you ffs! MTFU!
What wind? Itās a beautiful day today after two days of gale force winds battering us.
The Great Limerick Run 2016 was my first ever road race. I did the half marathon and it was a smashing experience.
Good man @Bandage. A great time. I ran 10k today in lovely wind and sun. Stopped twice though so no time to report. Very happy with my progress. Will be targeting sub 55 whenever o do actually run 10k properly. Also got a nice coffee afterwards with no cake and it started hail stoning there as soon a s I got in! Wonderful.

Guess again. Aināt no way Iām running more than 10k. I aināt getting on no plane.
Iām here rolling the foot with a golf ball. Thereās a storm due here but if it passes, I might be hitting a few trails this evening.
Thatās what we all said.
Half the thread will be doing a marathon in 2022 the rate we are going.

Iāll be in the other half. But Iāll be sub 23 for my 5k at that stage.
Great Limerick run in 2010 I think ā¦ 1.32ā¦ I ran Ballybunion 5 weeks earlier in 1.42 and my only training was 30 laps of Mary I pitch the week before. BallyB set me up well for Limerickā¦ The homeward run back from the Gaelic Grounds to town killed me tho. I celebrated with 12 pints watching Munster being bate and couldnāt walk from stiffness when I got up off my chair to head to the Peony court for a 3 in 1 later that evening. I quit running that night.
