It's that time of year again when people are looking at Spring Marathons (unless you're Ruthann & Val who run one each week). Again this year we have plenty of members travelling for races & we'd like to wish good luck to all.

Manchester Marathon:

Jane Ann Meehan, Gearoid Rohan, Chris Deakin, Roseanne Trehy & Ray O' Connor

Mary Rohan & Esther Leahy - Relay Marathon

London Marathon

Mary Kealy & Patrick Forde (Taking part in his 20th marathon on the weekend of his 20th wedding anniversary) 

Boston Marathon

Maeve Noone & Siobhan Guinan

Closer to home Jim Leahy is taking part in his first race over 50k as he tackles the Connemara Ultra tomorrow.

New club recruit, Brendan Galvin, ran the Roma Marathon recently & came home with a big PB of 3.25.41. On the other side of the world former club Chairperson, Deirdre Hassett, ran a 3.26 in the Napa Valley Marathon (off very little training & a long run maxing at 14 miles!!) & bagged herself another BQ in the process.

Probably most impressive of the lot was Valerie Glavins 2nd place in the Vartry 50mile event last weekend in a time of 8.23.24, congrats Val.

Looking towards the latter part of the year Seb is looking forward to completing the Marathon du Medoc although in fairness I think that's more a belated stag party than a race :)
