Some numbers…

At the moment all I can say is that there is not many of bib numbers… I would be expecting to have little bit more of these at this stage.

This year I got just two bib numbers. One from ‘Hell and Back’ (back in February) and recently from Samsung Night Run. Rest of them is from last year: 5 km Tom Byrne in Lucan, 10 km in Maynooth and 5 km Symantec Run. I wish I could run in more races but you all probably know… it’s not cheap. Depends of the race it can be 15 € or even 40 €. But now, when I’m trying to get into marathons it will be more, more… expensive.

So where the pace bands are kicking in. Read more

Life with MadITRunner

Runner relationship

The mad IT runner asked me to write a post for his page on a topic of my own choice (risky).
The first thing that came to mind – what is it like to share life with a runner?  Someone who trains 3 hours every day and goes for an hour long walk with a dog. Someone who runs 25 km a day and walks another 10 km. Someone with a lot of stamina and drive but clearly not much time. Read more
