Will run for beer: Four Courts Four Miler

Too bad though as we had the Four Courts Four Miler to run. Back in December, Pacers (a local race company) had a sale on races - if you bought 5 or more races, it was 50% off. I used to race their races all the time, but got so busy with half marathons and kids and other life stuff that I stopped. But hey, with that kind of deal, who could resist? Saturday was my second race of the five that I purchased: Four Courts Four Miler.

Guinness after the race - I'm not going to lie - it's a great race but the absolute highpoint of running it is a Guinness at 10am. Wicked fast downhill start - Nevermind that … [Read more...]

February Runfessions: The Longest Short Month Ever

You know how short weeks at work often feel longer than a normal week, just because you still need to do the same amount of work in fewer days? Well, February always feels that way for me and this February was no exception. It’s been… a month. I’m joining Marcia to runfess my sins (and […]
