Longford Half Marathon

Conditions were perfect, sunny but not too warm, a well marshalled course and a friendly event.  You can tell this is a runners race.

A few drags but no long or steep hills.  Spent a lot of time running on my own and could feel the wheels starting to loosen at around ten miles, so had to do some serious talking to myself to dig in and make sure I stayed on course for my 90 minute target.  I feell I should have more to give at this distance but finishing with a five minute pb and a sub 90 hm making the third  milestone for me this year,  I have no complaints.
