Sounds like a plan! See you later! Loved your post about your morning run!

First run in 18 weeks where it's rained, perhaps it's to tell me that it if it's like that on Monday, it's not going to be too bad.
There's a forecast up on the met Eireann Facebook page. Hopefully there won't be too many changes before Monday. Should be ok if the current track stays true.
I'm off to bed!0 -

Hi donglen, base it on what you've been doing on your lsrs. Hold onto the bottle for a half mile or so if you think you'll need a bit extra. Don't gulp all at once in case it bloats you or fills you too much. Try dispose of the bottle responsibly. I asked supporters to bin mine 'please' last year.Quick question on fuelling regarding the lucozade sports stations. I have incorporated it into my long runs, just taking a gulp or two as part of a loop when I passed my car. How much of the bottle should I be consuming? Is it just a gulp or two or should I be looking to get in as much as I can?
Obviously with gels, I'm consuming the packet each time, just a bit confused on the Lucozade Sport.
Hey smash, take it easy on the nurofen. Lots of negative implications for taking them when you're putting your body under stress. You also don't want to mask the pain as that could put you in a whole other ball game of trouble.....Best of luck!Good morning all.
The last few weeks have flown by and it's Expo day today......can you believe it??
Going with my friend at around 12 noon today to get our race numbers and sign the wall at the expo. It is his first DCM and he is hyper about it and is really looking forward to it too....
Having porridge and Nurofen, a winning combination, for breakfast to try and shake this damn knee niggle.... I think that I am slowly winning the race to be ready.... Did a fair bit of Foam Rollering last night that seemed to help, thanks DG and Mentors.

Hi SD, you're right to be lounging around but take your mind off things by reading a good book or watching a film....or twoSunny Disposition wrote: »Very difficult week at work ended yesterday, but now I think it might have been the best thing for me cos the nerves are just starting to kick in:)
Going to be hard pass today and tomorrow, lot of lounging around ahead! Keep off your feet as much as poss, all of you.
FOR ALL OF YOU: we'll leave a final call til Sunday night/Monday morning but bear in mind that wind is not a runners friend. You generally don't gain back what you lose in a headwind. The mid part of the race is long and straight so pick a group/tall hefty fella and tuck inFrom Irish weather online
MONDAY 26TH OCTOBER
DUBLIN MARATHON
Dry but stiff southerly wind which will be in your face for the mid part of the race but on your back from Mile 21 at UCD to the finish. Temperature a chilly 8 °C at the start, rising to around 12 °C by lunchtime.If you wanted you could spend a fortune out here. Number collected anyway, so that's the main thing out of the way.
I'm in a black north face jacket with a north face bag on my back if anyone see's me.
Also, two buses passed me with out stopping in Nassau St. Try getting them on O'Connell St. Ended up getting a taxi to save time, which was a funny story- he seemed to know a fair bit about running so I asked him if he ran also. He said he didn't but claimed he collects the blood from the elites after races. That's what he said, I'd say it's doubtful but thought it was funny.
Hi Gillo, stranger things have happened! Maybe he transports their anti-doping samples to the lab?0 -

Somewhat puzzled by the can of Dutch alcohol-free beer in the goodie bag.
