I was just gchatting with my sister about my ½ marathon and we were talking about her NYC ½ marathon she did last year (a friend got injured and my sister had 5 weeks to train and be ready to take her spot). She ran it like like 2:50:00 which is amazing considering she was only a casual runner.
Anyway she told me about the Dublin Marathon and how it apparently is one of the flattest courses in the world. http://dublinmarathon.ie/index.php
Oh and the race is on HALLOWEEN. COME ON!
I have not traveled outside of the US before. My 2009 Resolution was to get a passport – which I did. My plan was to travel in 2010, but I feel like this year has been so devoted to heath and fitness. So maybe 2011 can be my travel year. Ireland has been the on the top of my to-do list. (I want to visit the 4 countries that primarily make up my ethnic background: Ireland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy).
I’ve talked about Ireland for almost a year, but keep making excuses about money or work or whatever. This gives my a over a year to be ready for a full marathon with hopefully a few varying distance races/triathlon in between and gives my sister a year to start training, plus I want to rope in my friend Kelly who I have talked going to Ireland with and I roped her into a 5K with me in May. And also a year for all of us to save $$$.
