Before we start the show, next time on Irishman running abroad, we're going to be talking about people who, in spite of the biggest challenges imaginable, are still running.

Do you know someone who is a runner against all the odds?

We want to hear their stories.

Is that you?

Are you someone running against all the odds?

Do people look at you and go, how are you running after everything you've been through? We want to hear from you. Irish Manabroad

podcast at gmail.com. Last week's show was all about my day at the Dublin City Marathon. I put the call

out to hear your stories from the day. And boy, did you hear the call? You flooded the inbox with your tales of triumph and disaster.

Emails from all over the world. Flipping moved me to tears of times, I'll be honest. The goat,

Sonio Sullivan, is on the line, so let's go.

You know, I like to be fit and healthy, so the best way I know is to just get out there and run.

Running was an outlet for me to, I guess, feel good about myself and take out some of the angers that were going on in my life.

Sonia L. Sullivan is going to take the world title back to Ireland.

I'm fresh from watching Ireland's fittest family on RT.

Holy moly.

What a show that is.

I thought the marathon was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Oh my God.

This was the episode of course.

I don't know if you saw the episode that it was, but it was the one where you had somebody

in the Eliminator against Davey Fitz Fitz and they nearly caught you at the end.

Is it like this every week?
