I'm out of town for a week

I'm off to Dublin to run a marathon. Its unlikely I'll be signed on while I'm gone.

I should be caught up on work, and back here by the end of the month.

Chris

Yes, good luck. I wish I had the energy, and time, to run a marathon.

Good luck Chris!

Thanks for all the great wishes. It was a 'marathon trip' too and I'm back already (and at work)
Well, I finished the marathon and beat my previous marathon time, but I'm not really happy with my finish time. But since I was doing this as a fundraiser, I'm just happy to have finished.

On a better note,I did manage to get some of the touring in. I really need to get back again to do the city and the country justice though. Tuesday was a push through to see as much as I could possibly fit in. We were staying in Temple Bar (and I mean in Temple Bar) so got to see lots of bars (but I mostly behaved until after the marathon!). Luckily I'm a deep sleeper, but some of our team (we were a fundraising team for the arthritis society) didnt get much sleep in the days before the race since it was a holiday weekend.

I found that I actually like Guiness. I'm an ale drinker over lager, but never thought I'd like stuff that dark.

Its back to work now. Got to catch up on my reading.

The next marathon I'll be doing will be in Vancouver in May. Between now and then, its just regular running and a few half-marathons (supposed to do a 1/2 marathon the end of November)

Thanks again!
Chris
