Registered for 2007 Dublin Marathon

2007 adidas Dublin Marathon244 days to go…

I’m officially registered for the 2007 adidas Dublin Marathon, as I mentioned earlier. The marathon, 26.2 miles, is set for 29 October 2007 which is the public bank holiday. The race is truly international with half of the 12,000 participants hailing from outside Ireland.

I decided to register in order to kickstart my training and I may have to re-read Dean Karnazes’ book for a little inspiration. I’ve already run in Phoenix and St. Louis so this will be my third. I shaved 20 minutes off my time from Phoenix to St. Louis and this time I am aiming for 10 minute miles which puts the finish time at 04:42. As I said before, anyone interested in training with me in the Galway area, leave your comments below and we’ll plan a run.
