Is it Dublin, or doubling our fun?

We choose both!  Doubling and Dublin both apply to this crazy adventure!  Remember how our last story informed you that we signed up for a bunch of races when we got together to celebrate Valentines Day?  Well this past weekend was that race weekend--The we probably drank one too many beers and signed up for a bunch of races without really thinking it out too well--weekend.  It all worked out so I say drink on my friends (and run on too otherwise the drinking will catch up with you)!  We definitely had double the fun at these Dublin themed races! And We did the math...23 kilometers in 24 hours! Ahhhhmazing!


We found a real live leprechaun at the end of our 10k!!! IF that ain't lucky, then well I don't know what is.

And we had a ton of fun with various friends!!! Thanks to Dierdre, Sarah, Jane, Kate, Courtney, Becca, a bunch of fired up kids (Sarah and Jane's crew) and some really nice folks we met along the way.  We had a really terrific weekend!!!

It was the perfect therapy for us after the awful MSU loss Friday night.  GO GREEN!

PS I had a first during our adventure...I accidentally touched a guy's butt at the start of the Bay City 8k.  I didn't just brush up against him, but I basically grabbed his butt. It was embarrassing, but I survived and moved on. Then as I started the 5k, I heard  a voice from the sidewalk yell "hey ass grabber, have a great run!"  That was a first experience I don't hope to repeat any time soon; the guy involved was a really good sport so if you happen to read this "butt got grabbed guy" thanks for not giving me too hard of a time.

Mird and Vern OUT-- training for our next running adventure most likely!
