Finished seven miles today and probably could have hit eight. Foot numbness a couple of times but brief spells of walking seems to calm it down. So Cork Half back on the horizon if I add an extra mile a week over the next six weeks. If not, 10k is definitely a goer. Anyone else thinking of the June bank holiday weekend?
