You against your own best time

So last night was my husband's 40th birthday party. We had it Under the Snug -- the room downstairs at the Irish Snug. They threw a fantastic party. Great food, great beer, terrific room.

One of the 40 Things We Love About Dave was that he used to run home from the downtown bars a few years ago, when he was in training for a marathon. At 2 am. In his work shoes. Run, Forrest, Run!

Well, you too can train like a champ. The Irish Snug has a 5k Runners Club that meets every Thursday at 6:30 for a run, followed by a spaghetti dinner and a Guiness. And you get a shirt! In the winter, they have about 50 runners, but in the summer, it's more like 200.

Now that's healthy living.

    The snug running club is great!! I've been away since I broke my toe, but will be back soon. :-) It is a fun run for anyone at any level. We took the jogging stroller most nights.
