    Keel to Keem is a great run. The climb out of Keem is especially tough, but the views are spectacular!

    Also spent a few days down there after the half. got some nice beach runs in. Thanks for the pointer re the half.

    galway/dublin relay report.
    Due to work commitments i couldnt meet the team at the start of the relay but met them at ballinasloe after they had gotten all the media attention and dates with models off TG4:(.The team was john'globalmarathonman woundedknee oregan and seamus the gitane smokin coffee drinkin veteran and padraig orange juice potato eatin carb loader and me.padraig was already on the go as i got to ballinsloe so igot the to do the last leg of 9miles wit john,the lads had al ready covered about 50k before that.so into the hotel for a wash and some grub at 9ish.we were treated to some really hospitable service by the waitress and waiter who were obvious impressed by our late arrival(mental note-must get name of charm school they went to).so off to bed early via the nite club and some hostilrys that served up some ice cold canadian carbo-fuel.Wknee was last seen do some active strecthin to a fast beat by 2unlimited..Up at 8 the followin mornin for the longest day of 100k.paradaig went first wit his youthful exuberance,i went second wit a bit of dehydration,then john and then odeysess which brought us to mulingar and our first stop at a Gala shop which was our pick up point for the jacjandjill foundation phones.when john rang the shop for directions ,he neglected to say who he was and as the owner nervously gave them, he also rang the local constabulary who were there to meet us suppoted by the emergency response unit.....(end or part 1)
