    A pleasant 6.1 miles around a park. Not sushi park but dog s1hite park.

    The old 16/8 is ticking along nicely.

    Had the usual sambo today. Chicken,lettuce, black olives, semi-dried tomato fruit with pesto in lieu of butter all between two slices of the finest brown.
    I've christened it the "Hero Sambo".
    Also had a banana. It was long and straight, like a cowardly cucumber.

    Just back from a six miler in the dark. Spooooky.
    Just had me diner. Chicken lasagne I think she calls it wasn't too bad, not a patch on bacon cabbage but not bad. Sitting back now with a glass of Merlot watching "Landscape Artist Of The Year" on Sky Arts. Spiffing.

    Just backy from a 6.4 mile run at dog sh1te park.
    Tucking into a Hero Samba and was thinking of school and how I long for the pre-Internet days:rolleyes:

    I return to you years later, my dear old refill pad,
    To most a scribbled mess,
    not worth 20 cent,
    To me, quill in hand, it still makes perfect sense.

    Put the technology on this run. 6.10 miles @ 7:44 pace on a bumpy enough trail.

    The things you have to do;
    Got an invite today for a bit of an "event" Wednesday next, in the American Ambassador's residence in Phoenix Park or as its called round these parts "the park".
    Sara Watkins is providing the entertainment before she embarks on her tour.
    I'll be putting Pimms to the clouds.

    Went on the grass today. Good and soft underfoot. 6.1 miles @ 8:23 pace. Felt like going further but I need to be very very careful baby.

    Collected a race number at the RDS today for a friend. Felt weird there without the horses.

    On the old trails again today. 7.2 miles @ 8:20 pace all good.

    Near the end of the run as i could see a woman with a couple of dogs.
    She looked like she was bending down trying to talk to the dogs. As I got nearer she started shouting "look right, look right" I was at a loss what the hell she was on about until I got closer. I wished I had looked right as she was squeezing out a couple of brown bananas. Not a bother on her smiling away she was!
    Has to be done says I.

    Long one planned for tomorrow. Meeting a few mountain goats.
    Going to get extremely drunk after it.

    4 miles yesterday and snap today. Playing chicken with a sore throat, don't want it to develops into something nasty.
    Sitting in the car now outside lidls waiting for the Mother to finish buying the place, could be here a while.
    They are selling a Giant Ginger Bread House for 5 notes. Think I'll go back in for that. Ooh ooh wait, there is an offer on pyjamas and screw drivers and dog biscuits and elephants and ski goggles and soft soft bog roll, ooooohh niiiicccce.

    6 miles on the hills.

    Got out this morning for the first run since the 4th.
    The cause a combination of a chest infection and a week of excess in the sun.
    Put Cocktails to the heavens!

    I've picked out a few trots for the medium term, goes something like this;

    Staplestown marathon
    Dungarvan 10(not ideal but I've entered now and like an old spin to the sunny south east)
    Wicklow Way Ultra
    Lap of the gap marathon
    Connemara ultra

    Might add a few more need to see what else is out there. Open to suggestions!

    Did a little double yesterday, 6+3.
    Just the one today , 8 miler.
    Still tired after the old Vitamim D gathering expedition. Booked the same place again for the 4th of July next year, 10 days this time. Something tells me I'm going to need it.
    Heading up to the Aviva tomorrow for the ruger! My kind of game, my kind of people.

    About 9 and a half miles this morning. Around the pass, down to the tap, up to the hive and back to the pass. Lovely run indeed.

    10 miles today. Had more planned but had to bring the little hero to see "Trolls".
    Not good, too much singing.
    The trolls around here are far more entertaining.

    Kept it real today, 2.5 miles.
    I'm sitting here, sipping me merlot and that age old question popped into the old noggin. Why do we exist? But what of the cost of existance, are we just getting a free ride on the roller coaster of life?
    Then it dawned on me.
    The cost of existance is knowing that one day we won't.
    Ignorance truly is bliss.
