Greek food is unreal. The best I ever had was in this tiny Greek restaurant in Bamberg in Germany. I’m thinking strongly of going on my next proper holiday to Greece.

There was a decent enough Greek restaurant in Steamboat Quay about 10 years ago, there was never a sinner in there.
I saw a lovely looking market stall in Blackrock village in Cork last Sunday, think it was Greek and Lebanese grub, have you tried this @ChocolateMice? I assume they’re on the market circuit.

Oh and you’d want your head examined to be running 100 miles or the like, fucking nuts.

One of the lads said that whatever he was into (basketball, cycling, etc.), he went in full steam and became absolutely consumed by it.

Get him posting on here. Would be good competition for @myboyblue

A proper Greek taverna is the job. With plenty of Raki.

Syrian and Afghan food is very good over there too I believe.

You’re not leaving long to recover between Manchester and London? Fair play! I’d love to do London but hard to get an entry. Have ran Berlin last 2 years and it was very good. Perfect conditions and great course.

It’s easy enough to recover from running imaginary marathons.

Ah here, that’s ridiculous. If you can’t trust a man posting on an anonymous internet forum where can you trust him? Indicates an unhealthy amount of cynicism.@Tassotti running exploits are a tour de force.

So if you ran for 4 hours a day you’d never die? Hard to argue with that

@Tassotti is going to live forever.
