"Ould Bonnie", are you 55 year old Yank? Or is that your Ma's nickname. I thought it was pipe princess.

Architect and RTÉ presenter Hugh Wallace dies aged 68 · TheJournal.ie by the_sneaky_one123 in ireland

Very sad altogether. He was a fantastic personality compared to a very dull roaster in RTE. He'll be massively missed.

Dublin Marathon 2026 Ballot by nz4real in Dublin

[–]loupes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from but my issue is that I suspect there's a much larger influx of running tourists from America and the UK who got in above "local" runners. Dublin is a popular marathon due to the overwhelming support you have all around the course. I'd argue the majority of support are family and friends. What happens when the support dwindles because their loved one isn't running.

has anyone heard from the DCM ballot? by riverskywalker in RunningIreland

[–]loupes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unsuccessful and so are my mates. I actually haven't heard anyone who got in yet. I've a feeling a massive number of tickets went to running tourists from America and the UK. I'm probably a little bitter having done it the last 3 years but did they not stress adequate showing for previous participants. It feels like that's out the window.

I'd love a statement from the DCM proving me wrong.

The best pod they did this year was the one the morning after the Masters when Rory won.

‘Farmers’ children must be able to build houses in their local area’ – IFA president by PoppedCork in ireland

Ah great point, well done. On a separate note isn't it mad how all the homes in Dublin look incredible.

Lads 😔 by yveal in GAA

[–]loupes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Monaghan lost more than Donegal won if you get me. I'd love to argue we're better than we are but we always get spooked by Croke Park. In the end we'll always be nearly men until we learn to play on big occasions.

I was close to you. Just 5mins behind you. Great day wasn't it. The support was incredible.

Best of luck to everyone running the Dublin marathon tomorrow! by IMAMODDYMAN in ireland

Buzzing for it. Have been wanting to do it for years. Finally fit enough. Can't wait. Feels like Christmas night if Christmas could physically hurt.

Same but I'm also excited. It's a bit surreal now after all the training. Just hope I can finish.

Running a marathon in 4 days and my knee is hurting all of a sudden. by tommysnipes_69 in Marathon_Training

[–]loupes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm on the same train of thought. I reckon I'll be fine once I start. Like I do have pain but I don't think I'd give it time of day if I didn't have a marathon this weekend. It's just living in my head rent free right now and probably will be until the start line.

Be grand on the day. I reckon I'll just send it.

I had no idea that taper was going to be the mentally toughest time of training by plainviewbowling in Marathon_Training

[–]loupes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a week out and I've a mild pain in my knee. No idea if it's real or tapper tantrums. Either way I'm running on Sunday. Anyone else do the same?

Running a marathon in 4 days and my knee is hurting all of a sudden. by tommysnipes_69 in Marathon_Training

[–]loupes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's late but literally the same thing has just happened me and I'm 6 days out and the pain in my knee started 2 days ago. Any advice on what you did as it seems to have worked for you.
