Letterkenny, Lorraine and a little bit of motivation

There are a few things that popped into my mind for this blog entry, so here they go:

North West 10k Charity Race and Walk
Sunday May 3rd is the date for this years North West 10k Charity Race and Walk in Letterkenny.
You can enter online (http://www.northwest10k.com/) or on the day and the fee for registering is €10.
If you are walking or running in Letterkenny on the Bankholiday weekend - let us know how you get on.

Lorraine Keane
With Lorraine being in the news recently, I realised that I never gave you guys the link to the article on our website 'Lorraine Keane to run Mini Marathon for World Vision Ireland'.
So here you go: http://www.worldvision.ie/server.php?show=nav.1378

A little bit of motivation
And finally I wanted to share two running quotes with you that I really liked:
"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." - Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner
"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it." - Oprah Winfrey
