    Absolutely smashing debut, congratulations on a great race! Will be following this log with interest, no doubt there is some brilliant times coming your way. Well done!


  • Registered Users Posts: 735 ✭✭✭Treviso


    Well done again E, great debut but it will be your slowest ever marathon I'm sure.

    Great to chat to you afterwards. I don't bring Fiona out with me that often as everyone likes her so much better than me :D:D She thinks you're sound out and such a naturally talented runner!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Bananaleaf


    Incredible run! You so deserved it - your training was unbelievably good and you had a fantastic attitude to boot!

    I can't believe you managed that time AND you had a pit stop along the way - class! Best of luck with your sub 3:30 - you will smash that too. Hope to see you at Trim in Feb.

    Congratulations!!

    Thanks so much everyone i am still buzzing:)

    K it was lovely to meet even if it was a brief encounter ;)

    T i totally get that all the time, my hubby is the funny one, so for now we sit in our partners shadows :eek: that is until we get the vapourflys & become heroes:D

    Bananaleaf thanks so much, gonna check my calendar & see what runs i'm looking at but 100% we have to meet up :D

    PS I cried when I got my medal and when I got to McGrattans and seen Browneyes :D all happy tears LOL

    Wow - you really did smash it. You'd a fantastic attitude to the whole training block and I'm so glad you enjoyed your day. Brilliant!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,671 ✭✭✭hillsiderunner


    Brilliant race and report, can't wait to see the progression going forward :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭denis b


    Superb run and report. You seem to have literally glided through the race. Congrats.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,693 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Wow!!! That's a cracking marathon, and to run it on debut? Wow!

    Really well done E - it was just reward for a great block of training. Glad I got to say hi in McGrattan's, albeit briefly.

    Your enthusiasm is infectious and really comes through in your posts and on strava. It's really nice to see. You'll have lots of fun over the next few months as your running goes to another level.

    Seen this table on Kellygirls log so decided to borrow it ;) Amazing to see how many people i passed because it honestly feels like a blur ;)

    Thanks so much for all the lovely comments on here! I'm still buzzing & honestly couldn't have done it without the sound advice & encouragement from so many on here!

    Sat 2nd Nov - Easy miles
    10:30, 10:36, 10:40

    Absolutely itching to get out!! Waited until my body felt ok & really took it easy. This will be my plan for the next few weeks before i begin a new plan! Have the Jingle bells 5k booked hopefully attempt it at a decent pace :D Also couldn't resist the 2020DCM so looks like i'll be attempting to better my time:eek:
    For now i'll just do the easy runs easy :D

    That’s a great looking table. Some boost to see how many people you passed out / or places you moved up. A great way to run a race.
