5 Miles on the Prom.

It looks like the Run a Month Club have lost out on November, but we're still gung-ho for the Waterford Half Marathon in three weeks time and training lately has not been an entire disaster.  This evening I went for a five mile run on the Salthill prom.  The night was cold and clear... but thankfully very dry.  I had a bit of zip in the legs today, thank God (it happens sometimes).  We are blessed with the prom in Galway - it's a beautiful way to spend an hour, with the waves lapping against the coast and the place lit up with walkers, runners, strollers - dogs, cats and more!  The funniest site tonight was a small terrier dog, down by the gravelly unlit path, who had a torch connected to his head!  A canine flashlamp...

  1. Seems that in Galway there are beautiful places to run along the sea. What average pace have you planned to run that 21 km race?
    Anyway, have a good training for your Waterford Half Marathon in December!

  2. Sounds like you're building up well for the Waterford ½ marathon. I'm envious. I wish you'd send send some of that 'zip' to put into my legs!
