Samanthani take a look at http://www.trivago.co.uk and other comparrison websites you may be surprised how cheap accomadation can be, booked 2 nights myself.

I'm from County Antrim, thought about Belfast marathon but by the sound of things it has turned into a glorified relay race - But Dublin seems to tick all the right boxes. 

Still have slight calf strain so have not ran for 2 weeks

Ran a local 10k yesterday and slightly twinged my calf at around the 4k mark and stupidly ran on (slowly) and crawled in at 54mins. Bit stiff today so will have to rest it for a week or so.

Will have to train smart once my marathon training begins in earnest.............. anyone recommend a good traing plan? -Had a look at Hal Hidgon novice and it looks as though it may fit in with my work schedule.

Planning Dublin as my first marathon. As it falls on my birthday 28th October it seems rude to refuse 

I've run a few halfs before in and around 2hours so looking for a sub 5hr debut. Training to start end June.

Accomadation booked , so no backing out............

Any other takers out there?

Heather -Do U know if any more pre race entries will be taken once re-scheduled date is finalised?

Guys I had a run out the Larne coast road today and conditons are brutal!! -espically round Ballygally head - Wind set to maintain in an Easterly direction straight in from the sea for Saturday, so may not even get the benefit of wind on your back on way home.

Mixed with forecast of snow -it will be one hell of a race

Good luck to all running -unfortunately work dictates that I will not be there (even with the snow and wind I would love to be part of it)
