    I haven't been out on the road since Sunday. From the neck up I'm fecked:(

    Sore throat/ears/head. I have a cocktail of drugs in me, so If I don't go sub 2hr 15min this Sunday I never will!!!:cool:

    I struggled through work MOnday and Tuesday and stayed at home feeling sorry for myself today.

    The sore throat is nearly gone, sometimes I feel good then a few min later I feel bit weak and light headed.

    I hope to get out tomorrow and friday


    So people, give me advice.

    I feel a bit better today. The sore throat is as good as gone. The ears and head are little bit sore. I haven't run since a 10miler on Sunday. should I go out for a 3 or 4 miler tonight and tomorrow or wait till Sunday?

    I want to go out for a stretch before the marathon. Feeling very fustrated right now:mad:. I have ran 500 + miles since december training for this.

    Will I lose 10, 15 mins of my marathon time by not running. If someone could convince me my time would not be affected by not runnning for a week before a marathon I'd be less fustrated.

    rant over for now, but if I don't get out soon expect more!!!!! lol

    :D Not half an hour ago, I saw your expected time and wondered if I should post "She does know I'm a real cranky baxtard in real life, right?"

    Between your moaning, and my crankiness, any pace group will have long speeded up to well under four hours, if only to get a bit of peace and quiet:D

    **Edit- I thought that mountain-marathon was spoke in jest, but then realized who was asking me...not on your nelly!

    lol, I hate the lap of trinity college at the end of Dublin, not sure what I'm going to think on this one.
    hunnymonster, congrats on the wedding, and great to see you posting on here a bit more frequently, even if the posts confirm that you're stark raving bonkers! (ok, I know a mere 26.2 miles is only a short run for you, but entering on a whim?)

    The good thing about the lap of TCD is it's the one place you get continuous support, even as you approach you can hear the noise - though it can be heartbreaking knowing the right turn down Westland row is taking you away from the finish line when a left turn would get you there almost immediately. I think a lot depends on how the day has gone up to that point...

    mate of ZL and mine has paced the London marathon twice. First time he took the get em round in 5 hours group and got it horribly wrong to drag the couple who hung on home in 4 hours over an hour faster than expected and the second time he took the sub3:00's only to get the paula radcliffes half way around and drop out. We get a better quality of pacer on boards.ie

    hilarious, I'd say the couple that hung in for the first one must have been delighted, well a few hours later anyway...
    Picture the look and feeling of bemusement when your pacers drops out..

    Since no one else has suggested post race drinks how about The Bank?

    Close enough to the finish line but not slap bang in teh center of town so it won't be mental. Plenty of room as well.

    The Locke is nicer but with Riverfest and teh rugby it'll be jammers....

    Best of luck to everyone running on Sunday. Hope the training has been going well! It's a great weekend for Limerick with Riverfest, the Munster match and the run. About time Limerick got the good side out ;)

    I'm a novice runner myself but I'll be running the 10k. Have enjoyed the training, hoping to keep it up after this! I work in Angel Lane and I'll be working on the night but for the rest of ye there's a complimentary drinks reception in Angel Lane for all runners who show their medal. :)

    Angel Lane. Never been there myself, much to much of a fuddy duddy for that sort of thing :P

    Thinking of doing the half for the craic.
    It says that entry extended to 30th Apr, but I can't find an online registration link on the site. Any ideas? Thanks

    Actually, probably won't be doing it - numbers have to be collected on Sat & I can't make it until Sunday morn :(

    Looking forward to calling to Thomond Park tonight! The buzz starts. :pac:

    I've had a disappointing taper week so I'm hoping the legs wake up in good form on Sunday morning. I've decided I'm only doing this 26.2 nonsense once, so I'll crawl over the line on shattered kneecaps if needs be.
