10 miler, and a two day bender.

Don't do things by half. Seems to be a trait..

This could be a revolution in marathon training methods. Had one of the best parties and craic ever in Roundstone (about 25 ks from Clifden) this weekend- Great party, no sleep, cool people, and and all day bender consuming my body weight in Guiness.
Kind to myself, just swimming and gym work for two days but today I woke up at 8am. Why? Could be a trick by the devil.
But I was raring to go- had brekkie and did the vey hilly main loop around Clifden- between 10 and 11 miles. Torture yep, but here I sit. Had to walk after all the climbing toward the end of the run but was happy with covering the distance in 2 1/2 hours.

Despite my best efforts to the contrary I am still on course for this marathon, but the hard work starts here.
