good on you shedite, whats the marathon route and where and what time is it going from?
The Cork City Marathon returns this year after a 20+ year absence. It's on next Monday and I'm doing it in aid of Irish Cancer Society. No explanation needed really as to why I chose this charity - I think everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. If you would like to sponsor me, you can do so via the following link.
Cheers,
Shedite

It starts off at 9am from Patrick Street. Out around Blackpool and down east towards the tunnel. Through the tunnel and back in along the marina. Then out past Turners Cross and over through Togher to Bishopstown, out to the guide dogs by Ballincollig and back in along the straight road.
It's my first marathon and would love to beat 3:30 but I reckon i'll be a little short of that, probably around 3:40
We'll see how it goes on the day

Have pretty much nothing to spare shedite but best of luck with it.
That's some distance.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

Great Day in town yesterday, great crowd turned out to welcome the runners home.

On the down side the coverage given by RTE last night was disgraceful.
5 seconds of a report versus a full report on a Ladies Fun Run in Dublin.

Well I finished it in 4:10 anyway. I started out way too quickly. I should have toned it down when I saw the heat. I was at halfway in 1:46
After that I started getting stomach cramps. That Lucozade you gave me Face, I threw up outside musgrave park.
Finished the race anyway which was always a goal of mine. Guess I'm gonna have to do it again now to get a better time!
Cheers for the Lucozade!

1:09 for my 5.7 miles stint - was rather impressed seeing as I haven't run since two weeks of middle-distance training in first year in school.
Saw one poor lad finish the first leg (5.3 miles) and just collapse to the ground; didn't even have the energy to put his hands out to break his fall and bust his nose right open.
I was just lookin through the results there and spotted that ex Cork City captain Declan Daly did the marathon in 3:33. That's some goin!

Well done Shedite!!
I remember my first Full Marathon....did the same as you, coasting the first half in identical time to you, then finished in 3hours 54min.....it bloody hurt!!
I learnt from that, and my next one was London, where I did the first half much slower, ending up crossing the line in 3hours 24 mins!
Good luck with your next one!

Which, I'm sure we can all agree, is far more important than earning millions of euros for 100s of charities

Really? I didn't get that impression. Yes, the Cork City possibly deserved some more media attention, but don't take it out on the mini-marathon.
