My Forum

Hello Kenny - I usually browse the site.  Good to see you're still running - I miss it badly - I haven't run in 3 years

 But 2 weeks ago I did 1.5 miles on grass, then 3 miles on grass, then 2 miles on the road - all with a day break between them - the foot got a bit sore again - I think I'll call it a day

 I did the 2 mile on road in 18 mins 38 secs - I was pleased with that - However the next day I was OK, then the day after I had that sore feeling in the ankle again

 The best of luck to all other runners on the forum.  When I'm driving and I see joggers - I always have that good feeling of wishing them well as I know they're all trying to improve their times - Keep at it - There's no better feeling than getting a PB either on a training run or a competitive 10K

 PS - My brother Gerard is going well at the moment - For a very big man - He got 75 mins for RTB - My best for the Armagh 10 miler in October 2005 was 79 mins.

 Funny How we all remember our good times.  I did Dublin marathon in 4hours 45 seconds.  I would love to do all the training again to improve it by 46 seconds.

Good luck to all the runers on the forum and I hope you all remain injury free and have a great year.

 On reflection - I would have done less running -( I ran over 8,000 miles from 2002 - 2008) You don't need to run as much to keep up your fitness - One good tough run per week is enough and a couple of easy ones.  Sometimes we leave our best runs on the training ground.

 Best of luck to everyone on the forum

I hope you all had a good Christmas.  I ran 5 miles on Christmas day in 47 mins.  My foot was slightly sore afterwards.  I must take it easier and walk/jog.

 I hope everyone elses training is going well.

A happy Christmas to all runners out there

I ran 3 miles this evening in a time of 26 mins 3 secs.  I was pleased with that.

 Wouldn't it be great to replicate that for 9 times - it would make a good a good marathon time.

 Its good to keep dreams alive.  I might make a comeback.  Its good to keep dreaming.

Well done to all the runners and there were some great PBs.

 It was a perfect day for running - infact it was quite warm around 11.00am.  I managed to slowly jog my way around it in a time of 5 hours 15 minutes.  I was pleased with that as I'm not really supposed to be running at all.

The support was very good in Dublin.  Yes that woman was a real motivator around the 20 mile mark.  She gave great encouragement to all the runners.

I did a good long walk/jog in preparation for the Dublin marathon.  My ankle is still weak but I enjoy training.

 Kenny - I'm sure you're glad to get rid of the flu.

To all other formites - enjoy the training.
