Who’s running the Dublin Marathon with me?

February 21st, 2007 | Category: Dublin Marathon, marathon, running

Today has been a busy day for blogging, in case you haven’t read the other post yet. It must be my blood pumping after my first run in a while. Yesterday I ran about 5.5 miles along Galway Bay from the city centre to Salthill. I mapped it here using MapMyRun.com. Switch it to satellite or hybrid view to get a great view of the bay that was to my left on the way out. Cool site, eh? It was a gorgeous psuedo-spring day and Galway is going to be a great place to train. Which brings me to my next point…

I’ve run two marathons already, one in Phoenix and the other in St. Louis and and I’m ready to start training for my third. I have decided to run the adidas Dublin Marathon on 29th October where, I understand, instead of water and PowerBar stations you can grab a pint o’ Guinness. So if you’re in the Galway area and you are as crazy as me, please no Dean Karnazes wannabes, then post a reply and we’ll find out how to start a drinking, er, training program. So get off your arse and let’s run!

Hey there.....I have a neighbor who is currently training for Dublin...he came by yesterday and asked if I would like to train with him....I used to run but I stopped due to my asthma. That problem is under control, but I havent run or trained for so long...I think I might just try .....I love Ireland and I need to get fit. Just to be there for the excitement would be enough for me, but I do need to begin setting goals for myself...... thank you for you blog and I have faith that you are really going to be awsome. Thanks for the encouragement!

Khaki,

I hope you think about training again, check out active.com for events in your area and sign up for a 5K fun run or longer and go for it! Thanks for your encouragement. Training sucks sometimes and it's nice to have cheerleaders, even during training.

Best wishes to you and your training!
