Running is a passion. This year, I have signed up to plenty of 10k races, 3 half marathons, and 2 marathons. The new road race season commenced for me last Sunday. Jimmy 10k at Downpatrick. Good start, a PB. The next race is tomorrow SPAR Craic10K #running

A new PB today at SPAR Craic10K 😊 enjoyed the atmosphere and the route. 2nd 10k race 2023 done ✅️
