The gateway to the woods in Cong.
4.5 miles of trail all the way to Clonbur. Have run out and back without seeing another soul along the way

Your very lucky, was camping up in Cong last year and got a run in around the woods in Cong during one of the mornings. Really enjoyable and lovely place.

That down near Annagassan? Superb photos by the way.

Thanks!

Yeah it's Port Beach, near Clogherhead, about ten minutes from Annagassan. The second photo is looking out that direction.

Had a nice jog along the Thames path as a recovery from the VLM a few weeks back. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn on the way back and ended up along side a busy A-road ending up with me having to run around a roundbout that had no pavement

Occasional weekend run route for me. Dún Aonghasa in the distance (Inis Mór). Nice hill run with a view out over Galway Bay on one side of the hill and this view on the other.

Lunchtime today. It's amazing what a little bit of sunshine does for people's spirits. Lots of people out around Ticknock and everyone was full of hellos. Almost turned my ankle looking at some pretty ladies too

Few more just to cement that decision in your mind

actually, does anyone know when the boardwalk went in around the fairy castle ? And the section of the DMW from the Fairy Castle to where it meets the WW has been completely overhauled - it's now the standard raised path made from crushed rocks with the occasional boulder. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to run/walk on. I was up there on 20th April and there was no sign of any work done (or impending work).

It went up between May 5th and 13th. On the 5th, that path that meets the WW and up to the castle was half built with a digger half way up. The old path was still but all the bog was churned up.

I was up there 8 days later and the path was complete, boardwalk around the castle and no sign of the digger, it was like it was helicoptered out of the place.

Agreed, it's very easy to run up now. It makes a nice recovery run. One section is a bit tough on the ankles but it's most easy trail running now

Mustn't have been co. council/corporation workers so :-)

Today in Seattle its grey, cloudy and wet.

So i'll be on the treadmill...

They just finished building this running track (around a football field) in a park right next to my apartment in Seattle and I've been enjoying using a measured 400 metre distance from time to time. Its only about 15 feet wide but its never very busy.

IMRA run (hill run) up Djouce yesterday evening. I was summit marshall...so I ambled up at leisure

I really enjoyed the couple hours up there
Summit


Roundwood reservoir. It was quite hazy and sharp snaps with my point & shoot seemed to be out of the question.


Sugarloaf with Bray to left


Shadow of mountain top is lengthening. The line of runners can be seen emerging from the wood just right of centre. Start and finish were in far part of that wood.


Close up of line of runners


and I had company from Skylarks, some were singing their hearts out

Not a picture of pretty countryside admittedly, but no better thread for it. So here's a photo of where I was warming up for a race today in some posh building in London with the elites:



I gave Mo a couple of tips before the start.

Just some random guy who came up to me for a photo and hoping to meet some Brazilian chicks.

Took a few pics after my run on Rosses Point yesterday in the midday sun but they do not do justice to the place so here is someone else's:

All the elites that I saw yesterday were tiny. If you stood Freya Murray and Mara Yamauchi on Mo's shoulders I still don't think they would reach 6 foot tall combined.

Freya Murray looked as if she had escaped from nursery school she was so small.

Like this in every direction in France this week. To meet 2 cars on a run is a lot. Perfect even if a tad hot.

Been up the Cooley Mountains quite a bit recently. The run up Slieve Foye from Carlingford is superb if you get the weather..

That was my first thought when I saw the pic. It's something we forget I think, just how light most of the elites are. Mo's head and shoulders look unnaturally small there.


Maybe Robin is a bit of a bruiser though.
