    No rogue drivers this morning then? :)

    I wasn't driving this morning, but didn't encounter any bad drivers while running.

    15.5 miles in the phoenix park this morning. Last big one before Limerick and it felt really good. Again, it took about 4 miles to get into the swing of things. Had planned on doing 15 miles and run up the Kyber on the last one (just for the hell of it :) )
    The watch beeped 15 half way up but whatever got into me, I just put the foot down and kept going. Delighted with myself really.
    Pace was 9'02
    Let taper begin.... :)

    Well I watched the London marathon on Sunday ALL of it and then I watched the highlights later in the day....is that taper madness or is that what I should to be doing regardless :)
    Other than that I'm doing fine. Am I supposed to be eating healthier or something? I can't remember ;)

    How are you doing?

    Your flying K. Enjoy the rest of taper and rest up well. I'm sure you'll have a super race in Limerick. I'll refrain from mentioning times unlike some others :rolleyes:

    That's all I'm saying :D. I've already given you the A target but this is your B target. I'm sure Brian won't mind another person using his UK address!!

    Hope the OH is enjoying doing all the hoovering ;)

    I'm pretty sure it's sub 3.50 for your age group K, although I could be wrong... I'd love if you were coming to London next year (I've a GFA) so no pressure......:D

    Seriuosly though, you are in great, great shape and you will fly it.

    Unless you're suggesting she is over 50, she needs a sub 3:50 ;)
