    I'll need a lift, if anyone's going from the South Dublin/North Wicklow area I'm in.

    That sounds great, might be sailing Sunday but think it's the evening.

    yep ok with me if we're allowed in/good enough pace wise (although would be happy to trail behind and catch up at the end)

    Yay, Absolutely!

    Depending how this week goes, I was thinking of jogging from bray to Greystones, meeting the group there and doing the run back...all at a very easy pace. There will be a wide range of pace there so don't worry anyone who hasn't got a speedy run planned for Sunday :)

    Here's a cut and paste from FB:
    "Robert Mead, Dan Sauceda and Charles Gaytan have a simple mission: to bring positive awareness to public service professions.
    Over the past year, the three young men have figured out a unique way to show their appreciation, getting others to join them on a regular basis.
    The men have been running around the Sparks Marina, one to two laps a day, for the better part of a year. They aren't looking for donations or personal fame. They just want to honour firefighters', police, medics and military by spreading the word about their support and by making the effort every day to run with American flags.
    On Sunday 26th July, Mead, along with a handful of Americans, will travel to Ireland to meet with Mary Murray to present her with the flag he has been running with to honour Brian Murray and Mark O'Shaughnessy* who both tragically died while fighting a fire in 2007. Afterwards, Irish soldiers, firefighters, medics and police will join the American visitors, mixing Irish and American flags, on a run/jog/walk for six miles between the two coastal towns of Bray and Greystones. The run will be along the Greystones/Bray Cliff and will start at 10.30am from the Greystones end.
    Bray Runners have been invited to take part in this very special event and we would ask as many members and friends, as possible, to take part."

    *these are the Bray firefighters, tragic tragic incident. Still felt in the community today.

    Sounds good! I'm on a step back week so just the one way (6 miles) will do me nicely. And yes, I must dig out the special occasion shorts ;)

    DG, If just going one way I assume it makes more sense to park in Bray, then get the DART to Greystones to the start, rather than have to DART it back to the car afterwards ?

    I suppose so...you'll have to walk/jog from the dart station to the marina, will you need me a guide?! Darts to Greystones are only every half hour and the Sunday service is atrocious so you'll need to time it with military precision whichever way you do it. Remind me again why you are not trailing there and back? :p I'll be starting from the Raheen car park ('half way' up the head) which cuts a chunk off, I'm not being as foolhardy as it sounds...

    Edit: oh yeah...step back week. Ok you're excused...

    there is a dart at 10.08 from Bray on Sunday that gets into GS at 10.17, I've no idea of distance from the station to the marina though, I'm going to have to leave Bray at 9/9.15am to 'jog' there and make the 10.30 start which is bit crack of dawnish so might just do one way, I can always do more miles in the PP on the way home!

    There's a DART at 10:08 from Bray, gets in at 10:17 to Greystones. Would that allow enough time to get to the marina ? Not sure where marina is but will figure it out, no need for guide :D

    Hehe funny you should say that....I booked mine for the morning, ostensibly for my aqua jog on Wednesday but of course now I recognise the underlying urgency :D:D
