This morning/afternoon.
Thousands of healthy people running around the city?
What were you thinking?
Meanwhile….
I know why the Hooligan has cancelled the October Dublin Marathon even when you can go up North to run the Belfast one around the same time
It’s very hard to run the Dublin one when you can’t run outside your 5k. You’d have to do 5 laps of the same one due to the Oct lockdown 😉

Ah here.

Oh look, yet another Covid-19 post with a Tweet from the finest of the anti-lockdown brigade to back it up. How many is that today? This site is rapidly losing its appeal
Well in fairness The Journal has had 7 posts related to Covid on its site today already. But with the opposing slant.
I’m sure the other Irish mainstream news outlets are mostly the same today too.
So, I think
BSBodger brings a good balance to that. + animal Pics :)Pop over to Euronews and it’s even less. Only 1 or 2 Covid stories on the front page there.

It would be more worrying if the site were burying stories that don’t fit a predetermined narrative, the above happened therefore it’s fine to report it. Then it’s up to you to translate whether you agree or disagree, but we shouldn’t get into the position where we censor articles that don’t fit personal political stances. Hearing all sides is important and I think Broadsheet do a pretty balanced job of that in this increasingly polarised world where folk don’t see the danger in creating echo chambers, which are the reason polarisation occurs in the first place.
I have no problem with alternative arguments and that is actually why I read Broadsheet. But all too often what we are getting now is a tweet from an anonymous Twitter account appended to an article with some “meanwhile” commentary from Bodger which continuously hints at some sort of global conspiracy around Covid-19. That is not balance, and does nothing to help discussion because there is no actual argument presented.
Couldn’t they all just wear masks and stagger the event? ;-)
I tried running in a mask, just to see, I cant
Interesting…
Was it glasses fog or breathless slog?
breathless and I have excellent lung capacity,
always wear my lens to run, peripheral vision is very useful :)
I tried running in a mask too.
Ridiculous.
Ended up just giving her back her handbag.
Ba-dum-tish!
anyway fitness….

Cruffiton y’all!
id say KBC are delighted, no sponsorship fees wasted. would be wasted as leaving the irish market.
I did Connemara, epic
Berlin Marathon seems to be going ahead ,i got the email this morning
In fairness Rasta it was a tongue in cheek comment suggesting that we will be locked down again in October. And it didn’t say 5 laps of 5k, it said 5 laps of the same distance. I will be referring to him as The Hooligan from now on, though.
Still, stupid decision even though it doesn’t effect me – I need my full lung capacity to keep Marlboro in profit.
