The snap of a mouse trap. I just hope he died quickly and isn't going to chew his way out like the last guy and die in the middle of my kitchen floor, I didn't like that.
Ugh to disposal.

Oh stop, from worry to horror and laughter. That's a great ad.

Thanks! I was afraid to watch it until I read your comment

bit worried by the absence of the usual disclaimer...'no animals were harmed in the making....'

It's okay, I'm sure they used a stunt double

So so soooo proud of Dublin. The support yesterday was overwhelming. Not a single stretch of road without people cheering despite the weather was dreadful for supporters. Wow!

Have been quite 'meh' about running since this Spring. I have, however, run more in the past few weeks than most of the year.

Inspired by the DCM novices thread, so Dublin 2016 marathon, I'm coming for you.

New safety shoes for work. Bloody hell, what have I been doing that I haven’t changed them ages ago……sometimes you just do the same thing every day without thinking!!
New ones feel about a kilo lighter each and are far more comfortable…..I am sure my training will see the benefit!

DubOnHoliday · 29-10-2015 9:56am

Glendalough trail run this Saturday, 15.5k of hill running awesomeness, can't wait!

Giving a small bit of advise to someone a few months ago to help them break 4 hours (which didnt look like they would at the time) in DCM. They took said advise and then to find out out they nearly broke 3:30 as they trained smart for the last 3 months. Then them to contact you out of the blue to say thanks.

Obviously very sound advice well heeded. Nice one

Nonsense. It's simply a case of sensibility! If you're not in you can't win!

What a legend, great article about the life of Yuki Kawauchi. Full time job and amateur athlete who has run 2:08 for the marathon.

It came with a price for some of us though! 1.5 hours standing and cheering left the boy with a chill and sick for the mid term...which said sickness he has kindly passed on to me. Just in time for our posh weekend away. So here we are in Westport, the kids bouncing around excited about swimming and Im thinking...just kill me now: :pac:

I had planned on cramming a few sessions into this wrek to make up for all the sessions ive missed out on due to leg injury, but if the plague doesnt clear up, it'll leave me with a week before the race with not one clear week of work done...in 8 weeks!!!!

Erm rave....the room has a jacuzzi bath

DubOnHoliday · 31-10-2015 7:41pm

Ran the Glendalough trail race this morning. Fancy dress was encouraged so i put fake blood on my face, legs, arms to look like a real mountain runner. Of course nobody else dressed up.
About 300 people asked me was I ok.

Well I for one am grateful of your sacrifices. Feel better soon

Rave: am also on a posh weekend away. 9 course dinner imminent.

Am delighted to be back running in the Phoenix park this morning. The colours are fantastic and the weather was brilliant.....
I never tire of my training venue and love to see the season's changing...
Rave on life!!!

Is your username ironic, or is that how you see yourself?

Rave: all my toenails being intact after DCM although one was slightly tender.

Non-Rave: wearing heels at a wedding all day today doing in that tender toenail !!
