Resting under a blanket of tiredness
Running in Dingle with Kevin Leahy (left) and Dáithí de Mórdha.Did that all really happen? For weeks, every day I got up, had breakfast, filled my water bottles, checked my route, and then with a wave to Marietta and Ossian I set off on my merry way. At times it was exhausting, the hours could drag on, my body ached. But the road, or trail, was always out there, and moving along it was my constant. It was simple, all-consuming.

After the fall
Running along the Cliffs of MoherIt was all going so swimmingly. Twice this week I arrived at my destination before I’d even realised it. What, we’re here already? I’d been running with people, chatting away happily and not even noticing the miles zipping by under me. I’d been taken down secret “ghost trails” along the huge Cliffs of Moher, and the sun was even shining, finally. And then, 20 miles into a run across the rock-strewn alien landscape of the Burren, thud, my toe hit a rock, I was in
