Feckers!

I'm parked in Raheny atm. Doesn't seem too bad, weather-wise.

Getting a decent PB when you don't expect it.:D:D:D.

So I was in Ballycotton for the 10 mile race, only I got stopped by officials half-way through the race, because they'd implemented a new policy of feeding runners at the mid-point of the race (which thankfully was beside a pub). Your race clock got paused and you were directed into a specific door of the pub, based on whether you were left handed or right handed. Being left handed I was directed to the door on the left, where I was served a plate with a spice-burger, and an array of canapes (served in my right hand, so I could eat with my left). When I'd cleared the plate, I was sent back on my way, and my race clock was un-paused.

My rave is crazy dreams (...and races that are going to adopt the new mid-race feeding policy).

Craft Beer is reserved for the right handed runners

Hosting a party where you don't buy any of the alcohol, but somehow end up with about 200 quids worth left over afterwards... Should see me through til Spring...

Steady run, check the watch and off pace. Balls.

Up the pace again, one last kick, check watch again, 9.57pm. Just in time to get the beer through the till before 10pm cut off. In your face publican lobby with your ludicrous ideas.

I would have hoped that all medals are presented retrospectively. Otherwise what's the point showing up.

10 miles in tough conditions followed by hot shower , strong tea and boxty with real butter, its the simple things that make life worth while!

Christmas pudding and cream. The parcel sitting in the cupboard has been like the forbidden fruit for the last two months, only taking it out maybe once a fortnight or so. Perfect for a miserable day when I'm stuck indoors and with a bit of a cold.

Spurs drop 2 points go wan AMK ... ManUre drop 3...

But... But...

Having a tenner on Yoann Huget to score the first try at 11/1 and Paddy Power doing a special double the odds if the first try scorer scores again :D

Watching people wrestle with umbrellas this morning. At one point, there were so many, you'd swear the umbrellas had become sentient and were starting their own revolution.

Sounds like the makings of a Pink Floyd video there!

Listening to the Housemartins for the first time in ages. They sure don't make them like they used to. I feel sorry for today's youngsters.
