Sep 2008 12:58pm, 20 Sep 2008 First-time poster!!	hi Was training for Dublin Marathon (last Monday in October) but only found out this week in work that I can not get the time off. Is anyone willing or know of anyone who can sell me their place? Hopefully I will not get a time that will not disgrace you. Hoping for 3 hrs 45. was training for Belfast this year but my old flat feet caught up with me and damaged my achilles tendon and was out of action for 6 weeks (who says running is a cheap sport, the physio costs nearly bankrupted me). 40 in Nov and I want to get a decent marathon under my belt before the big birthday bash. Did 2 in 2005, but training was the best and got 2 times that were disappointing. Damn this mid life crisis. Hope there is someone somewhere can help.
