Half Marathon

Golly, it's been so long since I added stuff here. Why? Spring and summer have taken me outside and away from the laptop.
I entered the recent Great Limerick Run with Kieran and on a beautiful sunny Sunday I managed to complete the distance in 2:21. Very happy with that... I could see the pressure of others over the final few miles as they obviously chased a specific finishing time, whereas I was more than happy just to finish. And I finished without stopping!
Training for past few weeks twice a week doing about 5 mile runs. Nice and easy until about 3 miles and a faster finish. The uphill home from the church is HARD, but I am getting stronger each week.
