About

I am basically a marathon runner who has had to do programming for a living. I have run innumerable marathons. My best time, back in 1983 was 2 hrs 40 mins 38 secs in the Cork City marathon at the age of 34. Now I am cruising at a more leisurely pace as the body is slowing. I have also done a bit of cycling together with my cycling buddy, Mick. It has been going fairly well with a 50 miler, a couple of 40’s and 30’s and shorter distances. I have completed 2 Ring of Kerry sportifs. It is very enjoyable but my true love is running. I take part in a weekly ParkRun of 5k. This is a worldwide phenomenon, and is really good for all ages and abilities. I use it as my weekly speed session, and for comparisons with others of my age group around the world.
