Thats a decent walk. Fair play, kid.
It was kid. It was pre- breakfast and I had already walked Brady for an hour so i really surprised my self going out doing another 5k in 35 or so mins.
A very decent time for a pudgy chap like yourself. I’d say you’re thighs are chaffing like fuck now.
Not at all - Shur, i’d cover that distance playing ball twice a week… it’s just gas how different the fitness needed for both is.
With the buggy or without?
I’m in tne Rochestown Park, think I’ll attack a few hills up your way early in the morning to clear the hangover, or else I’ll run down the line to my mas
I’ll keep an eye out for you.
Jesus I had an awful night of it last night… No sleep. I decided to run the auld marathon here for the craic at 7 this morning when I found out it was on. I got around it anyway and am going to conduct some more buisness with clients from Ghana and West Africa later this evening

Are you going to go visit a big African lady for your post-race massage?

I’m going to admit it took between 4 and 5 hours. Sure I might as well have stayed in the pub. Jesus my heart was pumping. I thought i was going to die

I jogged down the quay earlier and past the 3 Arena and over the toll bridge. There was a lot of people heading to the venue and I got the sense these were decent skins by the way they carried and presented themselves. A quick google later on showed that Bloc Party are playing Silent Alarm in there tonight. I really liked that album and saw Bloc Party in The Ambassador around the time it came out. Wonderful memories of the halcyon days of the mid noughties in fact. Tonight I ambled past the scene while feeling my calf tighten yet again.

Very good album. Hardly so good that it merits a concert dedicated to play it back in full, bit self indulgent. One of a few bands from that era that failed to kick on from a belter of a debut, the Strokes the same. Who’d have thought it would be Kings of Leon that went on to maintain their standard.
That’s debatable too, aka shake heart break would still be considered their best album by many. They went very ‘mainstream’ late in the 00s.
It takes savage effort to do a decent album and then to go and repeat it takes some steel. I’d imagine it’s gets harder when you’ve more money than you’ll ever need.
Well they had a few more good albums at least and are still producing hits and playing stadiums. Bloc Party were the best British band in a long time, second album was good and then they faded into obscurity. The Strokes were another level of good, their first album is unreal on so many levels. Shame they also faded and never delivered on their promise.

Trotted down into the city centre this evening. Lovely and calm, lit up obviously, just a lovely way to spend an hour
Piece about the Dublin City Marathon on Claire Byrne show now.
As a veteran of 1 (one) marathon I’m enjoying it
