Week 7: Weekend 12 miler.

With 11 weeks to the Cork marathon the training mileage is starting to get noticeable. This weekend's treat was a 12 mile long run from Newbridge to the Curragh and back. It was still early by the time we reached the Curragh and the sun was starting to burn off the morning mist. We had covered 3 miles getting there and had 6 to run before the return leg home. Our route took us through south west of the army camp, through the oldest golf course in Ireland and back through the middle of the camp towards the road home where we passed a never ending line of race horses out for their morning stretch.

Running the 12 miles in 2 hrs 7 minutes we didn't break any records but it was a lovely run.
