Tonight saw the last run in the Ballycotton Summer Series.  Each of the four runs was 5 miles long. For someone of my meagre fitness, each felt like a marathon.  At the end of the race I picked up my plaque.  To earn this all that was required was to complete all four races.  Despite this it feels like getting a gold medal.  This time last year I wouldn’t last 60 seconds running let alone finish a 5 mile run.
