    I read Dave McSavage say in the Independent that if he wants to feel alive, he goes to the theatre because when it's over, he's overcome with joy and feels like he's got his life back. This is how I felt about running on Saturday. Sunday was nice.

    runs: 3
    cross: 2

    To do in first half of 2011:
    1. Connemarathon 10/04/11 (aim: 4h30)
    2. Calcutta run 10km 14/05/11 (aim: 1st female finisher from work)
    3. Braveheart 5km 17/06/2011 (aim: beat my brother)

    Just to bring some closure to this thread:

    1. "did" half, not full
    2. underestimated amount of skinnymalinks competitve maniacs at work
    3. brother has left country for summer

    In short: fail

    I was walking through Phoenix Park last week after a concert with a very strong urge to pee and while considering whether to dash behind a tree or not, I was reminded of DCM and a former life - a life on boards
