On August 6th 2012, I ran my 3rd 10K Race (6.2 miles) here in Dun Laoghaire. My friends from the running group also ran it - there were 9 of us total so it was a really fun day. As they say, "It was good Craic" (pronounced Crack) meaning "it was good fun". OR they say, "It was a good buzz" (meaning, well, meaning just that but that it was "exciting with all the 'buzz' of the crowds, etc."). Love their little phrases!

And here's mommy! The roads were all shut down for this race so it was pretty fun to run past our apartment. After seeing us pass (this is at Mile #1 of 6.2), Wayne and Norah made their way into town to meet me at the finish! I've got a pretty great support team. =)
To see pictures afterward is hard because, at the time, I think I'm just flying into the finish but the images show I'm just barely moving.
I shaved a couple minutes off my last time and I heard afterward (thankfully) that this was considered a very tough route so I was happy as could be.

It may be small, but it's mighty.
