Then we can keep this thread to concentrate on the race and nothing but the race in the last week before we head for Dublin.
See you over there . .
I thought overseas runners didn't have to register for the breaky run.
Any way there is enough of us to hold our own breaky/lunch run.It will be another reason to meet up.
Snicks... see the red wine won after all.
Do you know my first kiss was a Blackrock..
small world.( I wonder! )
RK that was a mean old trick to pull on Ray O.. that pic looks horrible.Must have been taken when the 2nd goal went in. Why didn't you go the 'ole hog and show the pic of the Swiss goal scorer.
Ran 6 miles yesterday fairly quick. Rest day today. Sat am last big run 90 minutes steady then big taper down.
What about you lot?
Trying to keep this thread for running stuff only.
About the photo', the scary thing is though that my ex's family who are all from Dublin, have all said over the 12 years I've known 'em that I look and sound like Mr McCarthy. Don't get it myself, of course.
And I do have another snap ready to post once Ray's seen it!! When are we going to see you?
Am a day behind you - hilly 6-ish this evening, fairly quick - 10 miler with the club on Sunday and then really wind it down.
Of course the gell at 24 miles is for sorting our hair out before the photo's at the finish! Anybody got a nice little runner's vanity pack?
Might carry some gell with me for earlier in the race . .
. . in case there's a photographer at the half way point, of course!
RK, i've been trying to put a pic' on the post. But havin' trouble with the size(no jokes please Snicks)cant alter the width without altering the hight at the same time.I'm going to put me foot thru the computer...better not might injure myself.
I thought a c20 was when you did something between 16 - 28 and rounded it up!
Ian Wood - DO NOT clean your car this week. Remember what happened last time. Mine's filthy now, can't wait until after the race to get the grime off.
Hope alll the weekend plans are going well, sore throats, dodgy knees and weather permitting.
5 mile threshold run this morning before work, just to make up for missing it on Thursday due to a de-stressing session in some bars in Aberdeen that night.
Nope, not there.

Any other stats Dubs want to share - post 'em up and I'll make a list!
Registration/Expo is at the Royal Dublin Showground (RDS) on the Merrion Road. It's 4 miles or so, maybe more, so perhaps a bit much to walk being the weekend that it is. Get a cab, or the Dart (local rail/tram thingie) from Connelly Station which is on the same street as your hotel, and get off again at Lansdowne Road station, a little less than a mile away. There's 4 Darts an hour and going there and back costs €2.00 - buy a day ticket coz it's cheaper than two singles.
I'll see you at registration.
