    Another disappointment for Paula who has more than her fair share of knocks in her career. She's married to an Irishman and seems to be a decent sort. I watch out for her when the Irish are not running or are out of the reckoning.

    She runs the marathon though, you have to expect setbacks in that sport. If it was easy everyone would do it.

    But Bald Student you and I have both done a marathon, multiple marathons in your case. Unlike those fancy dan high performance athletes we know what it's about because you haven't really done one unless it takes you 6 hours to do it

    It gives people from Cork a chance to represent other countries.....
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Sure I don't even consider the marathon to be an endurance event any more. I can run a marathon faster than I can play a round of golf.
