I hope you’re all well and running like gazelles in what is no doubt brilliant Californian sunshine, I’m a little bit jealous to be honest…Just a quick update from Ireland – it’s been a good week for me: last Wendesday I lowered my 1500m pb to 4.07 and then on Saturday I won a small 5k road race in 15 26 (attached is a photo I think you’ll like, only one I could find). Pity I wasn’t running like that in the spring but that’s life I suppose. I’m doing one more 5k on the track, gunning for around 15 15, and then I’m heading to mainland Europe in August for a month or so for German beer and Croatian beaches, should be swell.
Oh, and for a 10 euro entry fee for that 5k, I won 100 euro, which is about 130 dollars these days – so it’s definitely worth a SCTC running holiday to Ireland, you’d nearly pay for the trip in race wins alone! Do let me know if you’re ever in this part of the world, I’d be delighted to have people to stay with me in Dublin or Wexford.
