Paddy's Day and No Drink... a disgrace to the nation.

A beautiful St. Patrick's Day in Galway with floats galore, pipe bands from Scotland and Brittany, the Corrib dyed green and all the other leprechaunic stuff of myth and legend but not a sup of drink this year... what would my old self say? Long gone are the days when we drank Guinness by the bucket load (like last year) and made mules of ourselves in the name of the patron saint... No run since Sunday (getting rid of the bit of unwellness), but am feeling decent enough to start the assault on the Connemarathon (half marthon) for April 11. PS: Fáilte roimh CMCI ar an saol ó inné.
