The first of the local evening races is on next week with the staging of the BHAA PWC 5k in Cork. I haven’t heard a cuckoo yet but this surely is a sign that winter is behind us.
The evening races are here: It is time to be getting out the Summer garb and consigning the multiple layers to the back of the cupboard. Peel away the layers like an onion. Find the shades and sun lotion. Emerge from the darkness.
The evening races are here: It will be good to meet those runners who only do the shorter runs. There was limited opportunities during the winter but now I see a midweek race in the calendar almost every week.
The evening races are here: As I write this with so much doom and gloom in the world it will be a chance for escapism from realities even for a little while and mix with like-minded caring people. How are you doing? Great to see you running.
The evening races are here: I have no speed training done to prepare for them. Nothing unusual there, did I ever?. I will make it up as I go along and tell others I’m preparing for a late Summer burst of glory…! No point peaking too early in the season.
The evening races are here: Sales of fake tan lotion will increase. It still rains in Summer so ‘fake tan streak’ is a real and worrying possibility. There will be photographers.
The evening races are here: A lovely way to see the towns and villages to support the clubs or charities that organize these races. The challenge for the best after race cuppa is real and it amazes me the effort some events go to with wonderful local support. Sandwich, (ham cut from the joint with fresh white bread and Kerrygold butter) served with a cup of tea. Simple man, simple pleasures please take note...!
The evening races are here: Life isn’t sitting at home watching the soaps on TV, it is getting out in the fresh air, being sociable and active.
The evening races are here: Maybe I might win a prize for the first time this year. Then I suppose why change the habits of a lifetime. Participating and completing are rewards to me.
The evening races are here: I’m alive with the privilege of being healthy enough to take part for another year. Maybe see you to say hello at some event.
The evening races are here:
