AH, I've just realised what that second set of eyelets is for! Ive (obviously) never used them and couldn't figure why there would be eyelets so far back

Not sure I need to use them, but at least I know what they are for!

Looks like he's wearing a classic version of the Gel Kayano too - from the rare aul times before carbon plates - Kayano 18's I'd say.

That's a big shoe for me - I first broke 3:00 in a pair of Kayano 18s

Shit pace is neither here nor there Nelly, it has taken me a long time to realise this and whilst I still check the watch at the end of every run it has become a cursory thing as opposed to the main event. Doing the sub-t training last year reset my mind completely in this regard, and I ended up with times in the races that I was happy with. Some of the lads here would lap me in any decent length race, so be it.. neither here nor there as everyone is running against their own expectations. Even if you are not hitting your own dont beat yourself up about it, just take the edge off and enjoy being out for a run and the fact that you can do it at all - theres lots of fellas your age couldn't run around the corner!

Ah yeah. I'm actually enjoying a lot more these days.

New socks, new lacing and a blister patch over the current incumbent did the trick alright it seems.

Great stuff, I had to put a blister plaster on my heel recently, One of the ones that draw the infection out,

I saw that. Thre's a good buddy of mine and timeout's who ran a big PB at the age of 60. LOL, the poor fecker has to discount it. There are so many 5k races down there that it's not hard to get the distance right.
Apparently there was fierce cutting of the corner going on down by the Pairc too - lads going across the grass. That's just down to poor stewarding.

Somebody mentioned runners colliding with metal bollards at PUIC?
