It started on 3-17-13 at the Pub 317 after finishing the Pub Run :) my running buddies and I had just finished refreshments :) We went outside and heard Missy O'Malley was announcing race numbers for prizes :) to my surprise my race number was called and I had won a trip to Ireland :) along with the trip is the chance to run the Dublin marathon. Yikes! So due to the fact I was recovering from a stress fracture on my foot :) Tyler at Bozeman Running Company allowed me to do the half marathon :) Hip-Hip-Hooray :) On 9-17-13 my running buddies and I met again at Pub 317 for some per-Ireland refreshments:) My race team (husband & mom) and I took off for Ireland on 9-19-13 :). I was set to run the Aircity Dublin Half Marathon on 9-21-13 in Phoenix Park :) Largest Park in Europe with a rock fence around it:) The race started with the Fitness Guard leading runners in cheers of Hip-Hip-Hooray for the 7,800 runners entered in the race :) Super day for a run cool fresh air bluebird day :)
I am off on my adventure running by the Polo horses warming up for the up coming match along the road by the Phoenix monument down pass the botanical gardens next to the zoo across from the Irish President's house pass the cricket match by the American Ambassador's house. Criss crossing through the park by the farm house next to the Belgium horse finally a hint of the end is close at mile 11 past the guard house spray painted on the road is NEARLY THERE :) Yikes 2 miles left uphill around a castle :( finally I could see a double deckered glass topped bus across from the finish line :) Hip-Hip-Hooray:) I made it:)
Next up, a pint of Guinness to quench my thirst :) Off to the Guinness Storehouse to see how the Guinness is brewed :) Our adventures in Ireland where absolutely fabulous :) loved it :) open topped double deckered busses rides :) Gaelic football championship (super bowl of Ireland) :) castle tours:) Jameson Whiskey factory :)Yummy :) ST Patrick's Cathedral :) Trinity College :) shopping :) Pub's :) Irish foods :) fun:)fun:) It was the chance of a lifetime and a special thanks to Pub 317 and the Bozeman Running Company for a great adventure:) It started on 3-17-13 at the Pub 317 after finishing the Pub Run :) my running buddies and I had just finished refreshments :) We went outside and heard Missy O'Malley was announcing race numbers for prizes :) to my surprise my race number was called and I had won a trip to Ireland :) along with the trip is the chance to run the Dublin marathon.
