    If you don't already know it... a nice run is out the coast towards Portmarnock. I've since given up running but that is one I used to do a lot.

    Kenny -- I'm 33 :D and you can run with me (once I get rid of calf strain) whenever you like..... If you can't find anyone to run with there's some good restaurants and Smiths pub is full of old guys looking for a chat.
