So. I’m 40
I’m 40. So naturally, I booked a marathon as my birthday party. Because what better way to celebrate than with a bit of suffering, eh?

my dog won’t run
So, here’s the thing: my wife and 3 kids got a dog. I didn’t. But, being the genius that I am, I named him Michael, because if anyone was going to name this future running legend, it was me.

belfast 1/2 marathon
Let’s say the morning after running the Nifty at 50 marathon with We Run Wild NI; my legs felt… less than fresh. Dragging myself out of bed, I hobbled down the stairs like a 90-year-old after a breakdancing contest. Still exhausted, but hey, the Belfast Half Marathon wouldn’t run itself.
