It was closed and looked like it hadn't done any business in quite some time....:D
I'd be concerned that your new found love of mountain orienteering might encourage to you to visit for an adventure so for your reference (because I fear for your safety in the absence of it), see the following link to a map of the grounds - http://www.claralara.com/frames.htm
A day of fun in the park is not recommended without having studied the above in great detail. Sure you'd waste the day trying to find your way around!

Yeah I am finding it as well. I run a circuit from ballyroan road up to beside bushy park and then turn left into templeogue and back onto ballyroan road. Swear to god its no more than 4km at a push!! Suits me fine now but as I go for longer runs I am going to have to find other routes....
I am going to have to meet up with one or two of you templeogue heads and find me some new routes!! Otherwise I may resort to running to work in the morning and nobody wants that!
Might I have passed you in my travels yesterday evening, i was around that neck of the woods.
Why not go up Taylors Lane and left down the side of St Enda's park and into Rathfarnham village and then on to Bushy park that way. Or make your loop bigger and add Firhouse to the mix..... so many choices! Or add Marlay park (if its open). I like the loop around Bushy park, so few roads to cross. The roads off the Ballyroan road are good too very little traffic, go down one, up another....

You may well have....I am lanky bloke who was pissing along last night at a nice rate of knots!! The run last night felt good purely cuz of the fact I knew I was getting away and not being made watch greys anatomy with the two girls in my house at them time.
See I am not a templogue native and still only know a limited number of streets and the general area around templogue.... Very closeted us country folk! I actually hail from close to Mr. Slow!0 -

I see my log has become the new ‘meet up’ forum since digdig and mrslow were forcibly removed for inappropriate behaviour. Always happy to oblige! By the way, seeing as I’m a marathon virgin and wasn’t part of the cool DCM’10 crowd, all of your banana jokes are lost on me. I have, therefore, decided to conjue up in my own mind what exactly must have happened to start this banana fascination, and I must say – it’s pretty entertaining! :rolleyes:

- Approx 5.5miles covered but only as a mere walker running errands around town for work.
I was pretty exhausted after it though I must admit. And the 72 million flights of stairs up to the nose bleed seats in the Grand Canal Theatre last night were like 72 million individual and separate Mount Everests! Mrslow as my AA enforcement officer you will be happy to learn that I had only one bottle of beer and half a glass of wine last night despite everyone else horsing into it and despite it being payday…this was a big first and in turn I want a prize!

- 6.06 miles – Av Pace 9.26
I haven’t managed to shake last weekend’s LSR out of the legs. So although this was a comfortable and somewhat enjoyable run, it was very slow (compared to last week’s pace of about 8.45 for the same easy route). There was just nothing in the legs, I literally couldn’t have accelerated for the life of me; no threat would have been worse than having to speed up! I hope they’ll be rested and fresh for Saturday now though – that was my motivation to get this one out of the way early.0 -
a pace of 9.26 is not slow, although I hear what you are saying. I ran on Tuesday a pace of 9.45, can't remember the last time I went that pace for a non LSR.
Your legs are tired and no wonder.
As for the banana references, I'll tell you in person. I cant have those 2 bould lads making lewd comments on your 'pristine' training log.

Jcsmum was out in the Phoenix Park wandering around when suddenly she found herself in desperate need of something filling;), finding herself on her own and wondering how she'd manage to get back to the car without having her needs taken care of she was overcome by the sight of an elderly gentleman in a luminous string vest who brought her to his vehicle and gave her his banana!:D
(She had a bad day at the office and dropped off the back of the group, Digger went back looking for her and saw her back to the car)
Honestly, Everytime I read this story I crack up laughing....Jus hadn a couple of ppl in work look at me cuz I was in tears laughing at this again....
Clara its ok.... We have now brought you to the DCM'10 level..... Though till you pop that cherry....... You jus won't know.... know what it feels like to want that banana... :P 0 -

Glad you find stories of my running distress & discomfort amusing while turning a gentlemanly and selfless act into a laughing matter.
I am not amused! 0 -
