A much gentler marathon .......................

This week the children from our school Derryquay National school started their journey on their first every marathon.  3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class (18 children in total) will be completing a marathon over a number of weeks to help us raise much needed funds.  On Friday we headed off to Derrymore beach where we walked/jogged a total of 4 miles,  the determination of each and everyone of the children was absolutely superb and it was also great to see some of the Parents taking part.  Each week we will be covering some of the distance and at the end of 6 weeks we will have a total of 26.2 miles covered.

WEEK 1

This week was taken up with trying to find accommodation in Donegal for the quadrathon in August.  I am finding it extremely difficult so if anyone has any contacts or knows of where I could find accommodation around the Culdaff/Buncranna areas, please let me know.

A huge congratulations to Bernie, Tina and Anna who ran as a relay team with me in the Limerick Marathon who finished first in the Lakes of Killarney Marathon on Saturday.  Well done girls.
