The Dublin City Marathon was on over the bank holiday weekend and the route takes it close to where I live. Conveniently from a photographic point of view it’s also around mile 20 where the legendary wall is supposed to lurk waiting for runners to bang into it. Many runners came by looking like they had started the race 500 meters away around the bend but many more came by looking like they were dragging the world behind them.
I dont think I’d ever be able to run even a half marathon so I admire anyone who made it to 20 miles and I hope all those who passed my camera finally made it to the finish line and woke up this morning with a deserved sense of achievement and pride.
