Had no desire whatsoever to go running today. But forced myself out of the door in the cold and wet for a 9.5km loop in 39:39. Didn't feel great during the run either, just one of those days.
Very sad news about Samuel Wanjiru. I lined up a couple of rows behind him at the London Marathon in 2009 and he just pipped me by 36 minutes on that day. Way too young to die at 24 and such a great loss of running talent. RIP Sammy.
Race tomorrow. 5km in Craughwell. Just one good day of weather would be nice.

Well said Matt.
Such a shame about Sammy Wanjiru and what a loss of running talent. I remember at the last Olympics, notwithstanding the performance of Phelps and Bolt, Wanjiru's performance on the last day in the marathon was my own personal favourite. He was incredible that day.
Great performance yourself in 5km series. And a 25 second improvement from Athenry to Tuam. Well done on PB and equalling it thereabouts again in Craughwell! The speed work and hard training is paying dividends.
