This is where I run..
Running lately has been really difficult, I’ve been rather tired on runs. Today on a 5k run I sat down on a bench & took this picture of where I run…seems to me I should be more excited, getting to run in a beautiful place like this, on a beautiful day too! Oh well, maybe […]
You Know You’re At Parkrun When…
In case you don’t know, Parkrun is a free 5 km timed run every Saturday at 9:30am in parks around the world. The idea is you register yourself on http://www.parkrun.com / .ie / .co.uk, etc, once registered, you print off your barcode, bring it to any Parkrun & it will be scanned at the end […]
To Infinity & Beyond?
So I’ve over used my calves… I was back at physio a couple of weeks ago, my shin splints had returned after just a few short runs. They weren’t as bad as they had been before, but I just knew R.I.C.E. wouldn’t cut it this time. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going to my […]

Ice Ice Baby
Yesterday I woke up in no mood of running, this happens from time to time, regardless, I got up out of bed at 7:45 am, got ready & drove to Dublin for Marlay Parkrun. When I arrived, I sat in the car trying to find excuses of why I should run ‘you’re tired, you won’t […]
My First 10k In The Bag…On The Feet?
This weekend my dance card for full of running, firstly on Saturday morning at 9:30 am, I had a fabulous Marlay Parkrun 5k. I’ve said this over & over, but this free timed run really is fantastic. When I first ran last year, I began with a couch to 5k app. Each week I walked […]
