Here is another reason to run

and another reason to run.
The cameraderie friendship of fellow runners .
Thankyou to Ev & Monika for arranging pre race pasta meal & post race drinks.

Dublin Marathon dedications

This race i dedicated to a lot of my friends and colleagues and family.
In order to help me focus, and also to concentrate on the wider picture during difficult times. i wrote on my arm.. names of family, friends in need, together with my goal pace of 9 minutes 50seconda per mile. I didnt qute match the 9min 50 for every mile .
But dedicating miles to individuals certainly did help.

Dublin Marathon - on the route

some evidence

as someone said - it looks like you are having a ball
Yes i was- me and Daphne the Daffodil :-)

Dublin marathon blog - negative splits!

Hope fully this photo / scan will show my first ever negative split for a marathon
ie
running the second half faster than the first.
in a word 'wow'.
I have only just checked the splits, 6 days after the race , and i am very pleased. My cup is 90%full - for this run anyway. A 20 year best and only 4 minutes longer than my personal best over 20years ago.
