I have been very quite these days. I had a blogger friend over from italy so I took him around dublin and we did a nice run (my first after newry) in phoenix park. we walked like mad and if i had joined the juneathon i would have already won - well, if they make up their mind that is and decide whether walking counts or not!!
saturday though was taken over by my obsession with the most amazing and difficult race ever that some of my italian blogger friends were doing: the passatore 100k. i was getting live updated by friends who were there supporting and i could not concentrate properly on my guest :) every marathon runner in italy knows about it and many dreams of completing it; very few manage to do it. i am not thinking of doing it NO WAY, i am just fascinated by the idea that someone could run so long and on such A difficult route. one of my blogger friends finished among the first 4 italians and he will now join the national 100k team for the world cup...whoohoo!!
simone, the-winner-of-connemarathon-simone, is thinking of doing it and I'll be his support on a bike...that should be amazing.
PS: I HAVE JOINED THE JUNEATHON CHALLENGE....YAY!!
I don't have a nike thing and after what i've read on my bloggerfriends' posts i am not going to buy one. my gorgeous garmin will do the job.
JUNEATHON: day 4 - mile 0!! (i'm doing great eh?!)
the biggest challenge has started yesterday...10 in 10. Today is number 2!
11 participants, 8 men and 3 women, will do the same route every day for 10 days....I can't even imagine how that'll feel. SHADES finished yesterday in 5:24 and on RW and Fetchie there's a great buzz around this event!
Apparently no women have completed the challenge yet (this is the second edition) and SHADES is hoping to be the first. I know that she can do it!!! GO SHADES GO!!
this is the link to the event: Brathay Challenge. The course must be spectacular and if I am thinking of doing it next year.... :-) no the whole challenge, but the marathon that closes the event. that'll be so cool!
this is the video of last year's event which was broadcasted on BBC:
