7:30 AM - 6 Miles, 41 min
River path up to the park and back. Beautiful morning and was able to run on the grass and dirt for the first time in a while. Legs were still a little tight and sluggish but better than yesterday. Kept it easy.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go!
The last few days have been very busy and I've constantly had the feeling that there's a million and one things to do before I leave. Slowly, I've been checking these tasks off the list. Even though this is just a short vacation, I felt the desire to make many phone calls, emails, and visits before making the journey. I've spent time with close friends, sent well wishes to those competing next weekend, and I finally finished Again to Carthage yesterday. I was very happy with the ending and truly felt the accomplishments of Quenton Cassidy in his trial of miles and miles of trials. It was such a great read and one that I know will be read many times over.
I got up early this morning, got my run done and out of the way, did all the last minute errands I needed to do and packed everything as efficiently as I could, double and triple checking all the important items in the process. Now, I can finally relax and start to enjoy some free time. I'll meet with one other person this afternoon and my preparation for this will be complete. From there, I'll head over to the airport and Kristen and I will be on our way at 7:15pm tonight. We'll be arriving in Dublin at 7:45am Greenwich Mean Time tomorrow morning which is 5 hours ahead of us (2:45am EST). I'll try my best to sleep on the plane but I'm sure I will be in need of a nap at some point tomorrow. The first race we're doing on Thursday will be at 9pm so maybe that will help with the adjustment somewhat, but we'll see.
That's all for now. My next post will be from Armagh so stay tuned...
