Hi, I am 42years old and based in Dublin, Ireland. I found the website on the net and due to work and travel commitments I did not join a local club. Aged 17 I ran a 3hr 11min marathon here in Dublin. Last April I decided to really get back in shape and since then I have run the Dublin marathon again in 3hrs 39mins, 10k in 42mins dead, 5k in 19mins 20secs, 10 miles in 74mins, 5 miles in 33mins 36secs. My next goals are the Connemara marathon (rated very scenic and difficult  and the Newry marathon in Northern Ireland which should also be scenic. Later I will run a fast flat marathon somewhere in the UK. Great to be online!

Hello again and glad you found us on the forum.
I did the Dublin marathon a couple of years ago but not as fast as you! I was also looking at Connemara but the 70 euros for the race was a bit steep now that the exchange rate is so bad.

its a great club as you will find out, you may wanna change your forum name though as "i008787" sounds a bit like a Bar code
