Barcelona Marathon 2013
The interesting thing about running a marathon is really, encountering the people who have chosen to run it and those who come to support the runners. Barcelona was a great experience, and the stoic yet warm nature of the people was so obvious. I think I’ll run this one again. Any society, I believe, is preserved by it’s own sense of humour, and protest, can be subtle and determined.
Marathon
Sometimes we don’t know the where we are going in life when we realize, we actually have a future that can be shaped by our intentions and actions. Setting a goal also means allowing the possibility of failure into your present. Getting to the finishing line, the realization sets in that there is actually no finishing line. I sat on the sidelines at the Dublin City Marathon, and witnessed the courage of many, who set their personal goals and got through the marathon distance. In some ways marathon participation expresses everything which is great about humanity. Dublin Marathon 2009
