I had a GitHub Action that commented on Discussion posts if they had a specific label attached to them that stopped working suddenly this week. This was done through a Ruby script that is called by the GitHub Action.

We went for a walk today to celebrate Mother’s Day after the girls had handed over flowers, cards and presents that they’d variously made, bought or cajoled me into getting. We didn’t have a huge gap of time between athletics this morning and a birthday party this evening so I had to find something short and fun. I ended up finding a walk in Mulranny that was described as taking between one and two hours.

Four weeks ago i was meant to be running in the Dublin marathon but because I fell and got stitches, I wasn’t able to run. I had most of two weeks off running before I could get back into it. This gave me loads of time to find and enter a new race.

I started training for the 2023 Dublin Marathon six weeks ago, using the Hanson Advanced Marathon training plan. It’s brought me back to running six days a week and my weekly mileage has more than doubled from what I was doing for the earlier part of the year.

Yesterday I did a bit of a refurb around the place, changing the look and colours a little bit. On top of this I added dark mode which should work automatically depending on your OS settings.

Leg two of the Connaught Cross Country took place in Drumshanbo in Co. Leitrim in a field opposite Allen Gaels GAA pitch. The previous week had been wet and we were warned to bring wellies and long spikes for what would turn out to be a very muddy course.
