10 days to go and this looks significantly better than 6 weeks ago. Had planned to get below the magic 90kg mark, but this will do nicely. At least I am my own age again...

They say that you have one disastrous run prior to a marathon and that one was it. Blew up at 15 miles - completely hit the wall and the last 45 minutes were stop and go. Very scenic route alongside Belfast Lough, but quite tough.
Given the performance in the morning, the dance moves were a bit limited during the Police concert in Croke Park, Dublin in the evening...

Wow. After 3 days and half a dozen of pain killers to get the neck sorted, this was tough! Started to rain after 20km which didn't help, but was ok in the end. A nice pint of Guninness tonight!

Sore neck
Woke up with very stiff neck which got worse during the day. Been to the chiro in the evening whose comment was "what a mess...". He improved things slightly and I have since been treating it with ice. Let's see... pain in the neck...
