Dundalk parkrun

Me and Mum have now done all parkruns within about an hour’s radius of Dublin (except Poppintree for me), so one of the next closest options was Dundalk parkrun.
It’s three laps of a reasonably flat course, set in the same place as the cross country events that have taken place in Dundalk IT recently. Still in recovery from my chest infection, and trying to be patient, I kept my heart rate below 150 and finished the run in 30:34. Mum went ahead after the first lap and finished in under 30 minutes. Because the sun was shining, we walked a lap and a half of the course before hopping in the car back to Dublin.
That afternoon, it was off to the Ireland Wales rugby match for me, with Fiona, Paul and John Sheehan. Then we had a spontaneous catch up with Orlaith in Blackrock, before she drove me up to vote at about 9.30pm, just before the polls closed! I was very, very glad of the lift as storm Ciara was just getting underway!Weiterlesen
