Early morning run around Dublin City. Main reflections: Filthy (with rubbish from last night's revellers). Menacing (drunks, addicts). Derelict (so many b buildings in shocking state). Saw ZERO Garda presence. Spotted 3 lone council workers attempting to clean up. We could do so much better.

1st half marathon where the 3 of us participated together! And not a bad day out for me - 245th overall (out of c.3,800) & 9th in AG. First time under 1h40 for the half in about 6 years! 🤩

Feeling a little creative (and maybe emotional) this week.
Boston 2025 marks the end of a 12 year journey to my 6th ⭐
So many emotions brewing in advance of Monday - pride, relief, thanks, excitement, nervousness, appreciation, even a little bit of sadness/regret
