me running…
…or maybe it is just visually appealing. But board of Blog Awards Ireland (http://www.blogawardsireland.com/) has decided that madITrunner.com is worth considering as a good blog…
First long-listed and now at the moment my blog has been short-listed for an Blog of the Year award… But most important thing will happen on the 7th of September. For two weeks, you, readers will be voting for best blog. And I would like to ask you for you help. I would like to ask you for your votes.
One of the biggest challenges this year has arrived. On Friday evening we were heading north to Belfast. Usually before marathons I was calm but not this time. That was no marathon, that was 12 hours run, during which I could cover more than two marathons. Yep, I was nervous. It wasn’t for the first time that I knew how long I will run. Was pacing already marathons for particular time but now was different. Now I haven’t got the clue how much distance I will cover. And that was the point. Go for whole 12 hours and get as much distance in your legs as possible. Till now my longest distance was 100 km which I have finished in Portumna in 8:51. So, now I will run 3 more hours, hoping for the best…
… and I’m happy when you are enjoying reading my stories. Most of what I’m writing about has happened when I was accompanied by you, when I run with you. So, these are not just my stories, these are yours as well…
After Lusk b2b continues… this time route near University of Limerick…
Just before getting into the car I have asked Cezary what kind of shoes I will need for the run. Ansser was – ‘Road runners would be ok’. So, took my Hoka’s. But already on the way down I knew that there will be problem. Most of the route was along the canal, on the forest path (proper forest, not tarmac). But I had to ‘work’ with what was there… Anyways, arrived into Castletroy Park Hotel. Really nice but very busy. So, decided to eat in near by Chineese restaurant – Chungs Cuisine. Just to let you know – food not great, OK maybe and the stuff… not organized at all. And there wasn’t much guests in there…
