    Thanks everyone - we are all adverts about what can be achieved in running with a bit of effort & dedication. I just did it a bit more publicly than you lot!

    I did mention the DCM Novices thread specifically, but it got edited!

    Fantastic Killian! I've no doubt this will inspire many for DCM 2013:-)

    Well done Killian - a lot of people on these shows get forgotten about once the camera stops running ( pun intended), so fair play to you for keeping the show going & showing everyone what can still be done after OT. I read in the papers at the weekend that ex Cork hurler Kevin Hennessy is looking for a place on the show this year, he's gone up to 22 stone or something & seemingly had cancer a few years ago as well , I hardly even recognised him in the picture, some player in his day.

    My condolences on your nan ncmc, 95 was a great age.

    I've been moaning at work about the fact we work our asses off but rarely get a freebie night out. Sooo, the boss in his pre Scrooge spirit has organised a night for us in the big smoke.... 2 days before the Waterford half :(

    I went on a night out 2 days before the Cork city marathon relay, it was only 10 miles, but at the time it was the longest I'd run. I went out intending to have two or three drinks and an early night, I ended up having about 6 drinks and not getting home til 2:30! I was panicking that is blown it, but after a good nights sleep the next night I was fine.

    Go out, have a good time, don't do the total dog and you'll be grand!

    Extremely frustrating evening, had a club session, hill repeats. I've been having ITB issues since DCM, my knee was not feeling the love for the downhill, halfway through session I threw in the towel and walked home. Felt like a quitter walking home even though I know it was pure stupid to run downhill with a dodgy knee. Did some foam rolling and strength stuff when I got home to try and work off some of the frustration. Going to take the rest of the week off, maybe just some cycling. I feel all my hard earned fitness slipping away. Feckin injuries!

    Sorry to hear that Dee :(

    Easy to say I know but try not to despair. I'm sure your fitness isn't going to slip away that quickly :)

    Think you did the smart thing in stopping, your far from a quitter Deedee, you dont want to aggravate the injury and be out of the game for a longer period than needs be. I was out 6 weeks or so with my foot and the fitness comes back quicker than you think. Look after the knee and you'll be back on the road in no time.

    I feel your pain Deedee, my knee hasn't been quite right since DCM either. You're no quitter, you did the right thing. It would have been madness to carry on and risk serious injury for the sake of a club session.

    When you think about it, it's only 3 weeks yesterday since the marathon, it's not surprising that we still have a few niggles.

    I think it's a good call to take the week off and maybe do strength training instead. I only did one run last week and I have to say I feel the benefit this week of the extra rest.

    So chin up there girlie and stop being so hard on yourself!

    Need to sort my 2013 race calendar so we can plan the venue!

    Grand so, game on!cool.png

    Although, they would go off and add hills to the route to make it more ''interesting" for us!:rolleyes:

    If it's ITB you may be better off swimming than cycling - when I was recovering from an ITB injury about a year and a half ago I found that the pedalling motion aggravated the injury slightly.

    Sounds great but for one little hitch... I'm targeting an 85 minute pb. Can't believe I'm considering pulling a sickie on a free night out cos of a fricken race
