Great series. A few less races this year by the looks of things. Think I did 6 of them last year.

Might head to it. Dodgy ankle at the minute so I'll see how that plays out.

Lovely evening for the run yesterday...first 5 mile race I ran in so a pb of 36.10! Delighted as was looking to get around in about 40 or so. Looking forward to the blackwater 10 mile tomorrow if the legs behave themselves!

Good race tonight, first time running the 4 mile route and found it quick, rain held off and all so a good night all round.

Did it last year - last half mile is a good test.

Aiming to run this myself in a few weeks, looks a nice flat course

That it is, that last ramp is a deceiving little fecker as well, seriously rigged up there. First time in a long time I could see the finish line clock read faster than my PB, only problem was I had that last 300m climb still in front of me and was ceasing more with every step:pac: but those first 3 and half miles are lightening quick especially the first one. I started miles back on purpose to slow me down but still managed to run 6:20 pace going through the first marker and probably wasn't in the top 50 at that stage, that pace felt like a jog down there.

Always enjoy the Kilfinane races, good crowds out at all the Ballyhoura races this year too which is good to see, a little value and good organisation goes a long way.

The Bilboa 10k/5k is the next race this Friday night the 17th of June reg is from 7 pm in the clubhouse the race starts at 8pm,Full directions are on the website. This race is the Gerry Mulane memorial 10 km and this year the committee have added a 5km.www.ballyhouraactive.com

Another good evening and another big improvement for me. Weather was ideal and the course was fairly challenging but Probably my best run of the year. Reckon on a flat course, my PB might not have long more to last.

Hoping to make it to the start line alright - haven't raced in over 12 months so looking forward to it.

Nowhere near my peak yet due to sickness earlier in the year but will give it a lash. Also looking to possibly join An Bru running club so will be seeking out any official looking type people when i'm checking in

There's a few of us from Limerick City travelling out for this. I ran it last year too and it's a one of the better races around the county. Well worth the spin.

Good to hear, looking forward to it now. Have put in lots of training since the Doneraile 5k last month so touch wood it shows in my time.

FutureGuy

Guys and gals, I'll be there too. If you see me, come on over for a chat! I'll have Green Asiics, black shorts, red/black watch and blue/grey Great Limerick Run top. Talk about that colour coordination!

It's shaping up to be a grand soft evening for a five miler :-)
