There I was minding my own business, running the Dublin Marathon. Suffering in my own quiet way with a potentially fatal case of "manflu" (and wearing Dickens-style fingerless gloves because it was freezing). I then made the “mistake” of smiling at a girl carrying a microphone!
From Setanta Sports, she ran alongside for a few seconds chatting to me. As it was my second marathon in a week and I had already been running for about 4.5 hours when she approached, I was really beginning to feel the strain. The last thing I needed was TV cameras highlighting my appalling running time. Life is so much easier when no-one notices you!
