Not long ago I had two creme eggs in my top drawer. One got eaten last weekend on
Church mountain. And today I cycled to the
Curragh, parked the bike and ran over 9 miles, re-fuelled on egg No. 2 and water, then cycled back (cycle round trip 24.5 miles, average speed 12.6mph).
Running statistics: 9.05 miles (14.5km), average speed 6.23mph (10km/hr). The route took me right around the
Curragh Camp (Irish army headquarters) then back alongside the M7 motorway.
Apart from a few thistles the grazed grass is heavenly to run barefoot on. It was good-feel running for all but the last mile or so when my legs began to tire. Here are a few photos I took today of or from the same look-out post I found in my
last Curragh run.

Maybe they are trenches for the Irish army to play their wargames?
ReplyDeleteIf they are, they are from a bye-gone era - no longer quite deep enough to hide in
