My ponytail is famous…

I have just finished  Marathon des Escargots in Portarlington and was waiting for quick massage session when I was approached by somebody who just greet me like that – ‘I have recognized you by your ponytail’. That was little bit spooky. But after couple of minutes this guy has explained that he is working in Santry just opposite side of the street where I used to run over the lunch break. He told me that he felt ashamed seeing me ‘doing’ laps every day. He explained that there was one thing which you could count to see between 1PM and 2PM on the Old Airport Road and that was me. That was very nice. Somebody over 80 km away from home and 100 km from Santry actually recognized me. Funny, to be famous person in that part of city. As My Wife already called me – Santry Tourist Attraction. Had to unfortunately disappoint my new friend by telling him that I have changed to place of work now. His reply was funny. He said that sometimes he is driving via Ballycoolin and he would be very surprise to see me running so far during lunch break 😉 Read more
