Liverpool Half Marathon
Our travelling runner Brian Smyth was at it again as he popped over to the home of the finest soccer club in England, Liverpool to run the City Half Marathon as the rest of us enjoyed St Patrick's Day.
Luckily he had good weather for his run as he debuted his new club vest on the 13 mile route. An impressive 35th place in his age category with a time of 1:29:31 was his reward as he is building towards his next marathon.
Congratulations Brian and best of luck in the upcoming marathon.
