Thatās when Iām at my best. I need the detractors to come at me ā¦ They all wrote me off so they did. I showed em all so I did. I loves me running.

When you find a relatively decent runnable trail, thereās no nicer feeling than letting go on a downhill. But you always got to be looking 20 metres ahead.
Iāve you down for an all shtar

Lads like @Fran who have nothing but their little place on the TFK running league are threatened, and lashing out right and left like a wounded tinker.

Itās funny because itās true 
As a very young chap, I was entered into the Garda sports day in Limerick. Iād say I was 6 or 7. There was a race (Iām guessing 60 metres). I was in the lead at the halfway point, when I spotted my Dad and stopped for a chat. If he had waited at the finish line instead, I would have won and it no doubt would have kickstarted an illustrious running career. Instead, I was washed up within a few years.

Any chance of you stop fucking around going up hills and put a time on the record?

Iād say Iāll wait til the 28th to try it out. Give it one good shot.
A young Tom might have been the man to stop Michael Johnson in Sydney in 2000.
If you have the route sorted in your head then itās all down to weather. I said Iād put a time in and then try and better it. You donāt know what will happen on the day.
Do all who donāt put a time in get automatically relegated? Or at least are the first to go down?
Bang onā¦ My South Pacific Islander physique didnāt develop till around 2003ā¦ I could have been a contender.
Iāll get out again Sunday. Sunday is a day for the hills. Tuesday of next week I might have an opening. If I can try it then, I will. I did the summer 5km in the pissing rain.

Iām half thinking of doing it today. Itās lashing out but thatās okay, all about the wind. The thoughts of turning round in Passage and jogging the 7k back home is a dose though. Might get herself to come down and pick me up.
Would you not just turn around at 2.5k and run back? Youāll only lose a second on the clock.
And go back into the prevailing wind? No way pal. Iām in the relegation spot, need to pull out all the marginal gains I can get.

The wind factor is marginalā¦ If you start at Hartys Quay and go up Roco road then onto the greenway thereās little wind. Youāll have that on the return also.
