Broken biscuits

And that's me. I head back in and eat my chicken that I brought with me from home, and noodles that I got from the first lidl on the road.

I pick a side street where I can run at a good gallop for 60 metres. This one has a bit of an incline. It's also got an alley off to the side and that makes it a bit dangerous just in case any car comes speeding up it while I'm passing. I just accept this risk.

I do 10 strides and then I'm done.

I can appreciate the bright colours and in-your-face face of this. It would be useful as a waypoint maybe. The design effort is wasted on the unfunny concept though.

Someone must have died here. Or maybe not, but it makes you think.

Santry Park is where I turn round. I've got my map lines. I make a dick of myself running across the road. Traffic etiquette is a bit different down here.

I want to come back down the other side of the road but I can only stay there until the barricade street, where I have to stay behind the fence.

Getting into Santry I stop and check my map to where I'm going to meet the line on the map from last time I was here. I grab a photo of this. Someone's unhappy with the new apartments. I think about whether the boats in the background are a local reference. Actually are they islands?

Further up there's a few houses, and then a section where the main road is barricaded off. In Dublin they do peace walls for traffic apparently - very forward thinking.

Anyway further along you get to a shopping centre. With the second lidl within about a mile. I've already been to the first one.

Sports ground on one side, big building site on the other. Didn't feel lively at street level, not at night. But that building site will be loads of homes one day. That'll change it.

It's foggy down here. Actually it's more smog I think. They are pretty bad for burning all sorts of dirsty nonsense on their fires. You can smell it. I'm not saying I was choking or anything but I'm sure my snatter will get blackened.

I'm just back from a run in Dublin there. Drumcondra to the corner of Santry park and back. I'm doing a training plan and today I needed to do 3 miles easy, and then some strides.

I've got a map on strava of everywhere I've ran or walked. I like to join up the lines on it, so that decided my route.
