Inspirational.

I just ran the St Anne’s Park Parkrun route backwards.

A beautiful morning in the capital.

Edit: I ran the route counter-clockwise, I didn’t actually run backwards.

Excellent

Another fabulous morning in the park. I didn’t compete as I’m lone parenting today but Rainbow Phil was superb. I spotted former Cork City Marathon champion Cillian O’Leary in attendance with his children. I’ve returned with a chocolate croissant and a mixed berry danish pastry from the Saturday market to eat during Georgia-Ireland. If the young lad lunchtime naps at the later time of 2-4 then this will be a magnificent feat of planning and execution.

Broke the 28-minute barrier this morning thanks to a steely determination to pass out a 50+ year-old female ex colleague in the last 200 metres.

Straight down to Rainbow Phil then where there was a quieter crowd than usual due to the bad weather and the rubby.

Got a crepe in The Crepe Crypt and also bought some bananas, almond croissants, a pear danish and a coffee.

Another wonderful morning in the park.

Love these updates pal. Am seriously considering a parkrun debut in the coming weeks. Have never competed against adults at a distance under 10km.

In saying that, the Dundalk course doesn’t seem to have the razzmatazz of the one that @Bandage participates in .

It’s a couple of laps of a walkway around the college’s pitches and then across the road to the maxol afterwards afaik

For fucks sake avoid this scutter at all costs. You have some reasonable traits, don’t fall into this makey-uppy bollocksing. It’s as far as I’ve discerned an outlet for glorified perving, as per previous posts and lauding buns and tarts.
Consider the lads investing time in this and coming on here and spouting about it…

It’s not for you…

How’s the Jack going pal?

anon67715551 · October 19, 2019, 10:34pm

I’ve had 2XLeitrim measures. I appreciate the value but value ain’t drinkable. I’ve switched to the old reliable Jemmy for the next hour.

I had a round trip to Tottenham stadium today and missed Dave Gillick ringing in our 4th year anniversary. Heard it was momentous with a haype of pbs

Spidey · October 26, 2019, 5:06am

Weetabix now before plenty of dynamic stretching. The weather and missing marathon runners will have numbers down so make every effort you can to get out this morning.

Missed pacer Saturday and the Halloween fancy dress costumes at the weekend as I was at a wedding, but looking forward to getting back to our magnificent park next Saturday morning.

I feel like I have a something very big inside me this morning

Locke · November 2, 2019, 7:53am

You’d have marathon legs on you. I’m going to head out too, feel fresh today

Looking forward to a splendid Saturday Morning, I think I’ll take in the farmers market afterwards for some organic sourdough
