Been listening to Fenian all week, v good.

But I failed Irish in school, barely passed foundation level in the LC.

Emigrated in the 2000s and haven't said anything since except once every year 'Ca bhfuil an madra?' or whatever to show people what it sounds like.

First time listening to Fenian and the Irish bits were as understandable as the Farsi bit, but then a week in and all these little sentences started popping out, 'An fear beag dána', 'Ar shiúl ón bhaile', 'Gan chiall, gan riail, gan saol'.

Wish they had stuff like this in the 90s, might have tried learning it a bit more.

Any other decent rud as Gaeilge around that I might have missed? Saw the Kneecap movie and liked it, but would love some more.

Heard about Crá, hope that's decent.

My progress was going well, I did Mon /Wed short runs (10-16k) and then Fri was pushing my peak, I went from 17, 21, 26, 26 on Fridays up until ten days ago, I got a bad cold and then the 30 and 34 were missed.

Should I try and squeeze one in, or just taper as planned?

My Dad just sent me this, it's a really nice example of how research that promotes coffee is done.

Read that article, and then read the paper.

This is one of the most contorted summaries of a paper I have ever read in my life. It could not be more biased.

AND, check out the conflict of interests section... Unbelievable.
