    Hi board members, i hope i am posting in the right thread.
    i am moving back to dublin will be living in the kilmainham area near james hospital, i would like to get involved in a running club.
    may i add i am only a beginner - i have completed 5km and a 10km challenge last march then got injured but cycling is my main sport. i am slow! i was involved in a group in kilkenny and it was very social, trainer was excellent, no pressure but we all got really fit and had a chat, made new friends whilst we were running! i am 38. thank you.

    Hey RQ- I'm pretty close to Donore myself and have been thinking about joining. What do I do, just show up on a Tuesday or Thursday night? What time? Thanks....

    People usually start showing up at about 6:45, there's always someone in the club shop which is to your right as you come in the main door and they can point you to who you should talk to. Feel free to PM me if you want to know anything.
