Fair play, thatā€™s a great effort. Alas, Iā€™ve lost all motivation for running. There was a time where I would not miss a single day. Do you suffer from any niggles?

No warm up. No nothing. I had 7 pints last aswell. Iā€™m guessing this will come to a bad end soon. My unbelievable fitness and mental strength is getting me out of it a lot of times but it wonā€™t last. Iā€™m nearly 42 ffs

Have you the plot bought? Jimmy Nagle only has a few left.

Great stuff
Thatā€™s the great thing about having a mess of a personal life and leading a tortured existence. You can at times seek solace in your own solitude and have the ability to literally confront anything. You become devoid of any insecurity and truly become your own man as you have no interest or regard for the thoughts of others when it comes to yourself. There is an amazing sense of peace at times when you inhabit that place, one needs to be careful to take the odd vacation to the real world though for if we find ourselves disregarding the feelings of our loved ones (who may or may not exist BTW ) it can be a questionable space indeed.

Iā€™m proud of you man

when i am doing this things, there comes a point when everything goes out the window, i reach a transcendental placeā€¦its as good as any drug, I started sing the taylor swift version of wham today, no one batted a eyelid, thats the type of humanity i am try to connect with and rediscover, its there, that is the thing about it, people are still great even in this bullshit social media age, the common values are still there

Ironic that his Limerick ultrafan lookalike has passed away

Irish girl Carol Morgan in the field

Sheā€™s out of the field. Didnā€™t complete first loop. Think she might have got injured. A lad from Antrim - called Billy Reed - in it too. Not sure did he make it to the second loop

John Kelly has completed loop 2 but itā€™s brutal out there, thereā€™ll be no finishers this year

You wouldnā€™t run a bath you cunt.

Heā€™s the only fella left with a chance of finishing but Iā€™d say the course will be the winner this year

You wouldnā€™t run the length of yourself you fat bastard

I recorded 6k in an hours football Wednesday. Youā€™d be wrecked from just watching me.

ā€œand the radio saidā€¦ā€

Hopefully that cork lad ian isnā€™t back to embarrass us again next year.

Heā€™s not there this year.

The Billy is still out there

Kelly must have gone for a nap mate

Iā€™d love a crack off the big dog backyard ultra he puts on. 4 mile loops within an hour, as many as you can withstand before losing your mind a d body. My kind of scene
