Pub crawlin and more

Just got done with the Finnigans Pub crawl, its always nice to drink for a good cause (not that it isnt nice just to drink as is), but when its for the kids it just sounds a lot better.
So whats a Pub crawl mean to a bunch of marathon runners
- it gives "beer run" a whole different meaning
- carbo loading (no michelob light for these guys)
- beer breath is a bit better than runners breath
Anyways I couldnt drink (I cant wait till Oct 7 when I can) so I was the fly on the wall watching my friends gradually slip into various stages of drunkenness. I wouldnt say I wasnt involved, but when you end up making sure that they always have a pint at hand, I guess that makes you a catalyst. Well there are a bunch of stories Id like to tell, but then what happens on the crawl stays on the crawl :)
Also managed to recover enough to get my long tempo run in yesterday, hit 15.40 miles at just about 2 hours. Sweated bucketfulls. I think Im ready, now its just a little bit of taper and then its Oct 2. Got my official entry confirmation. Its a book for the Twin Cities Marathon. Its nice cause its a little more informative than just a post card. Ive spent today drinking all the water I lost last morning, its difficult cause it makes you pee - he he.
Anyways on that happee note i gotta sign out
