I've just signed up for this year's Dublin mini-marathon and am already starting to tremble in my AirMax. I've never actually run 10k before; I can manage about 6k right now without passing out, albeit on the treadmill, which is much easier than on tarmac. When I originally thought about doing the race, I reckoned I could manage it in less than an hour. A combination of laziness and a recurring back problem has set my training back somewhat, though, and now I think I'll be lucky if I can finish in one piece.
How and ever, there's nothing like a challenge, and I have the added motivation of hopefully raising a few euro for the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre in Drogheda (go on the town). Training proper starts this week...

Run, run, as fast as you can

At least you've started training... at least I've had the sense not to sign up for it! You might want to give the other two wans a few subtle nudges in the direction of their O'Neills and runners though.... :D
Yeah, I'll be sending out some strongly worded SMSes this week - deadline for registration is next Tuesday!
And what is with the time stamp on that comment, missy?!
