Well after finding out our flight home was cancelled it was time to get in some extra sleep..... then some running. We found a great little place just outside of downtown Ennis. It is called the Lees Road Sport and Amenity Park. It has a ton of fields, a cross country course, and a track facility. So Heather and I went over to check it out. It has about 3 miles of trails (set up for XC races) and it was a great place for running. I got in some good running and did 6 x 1 minute pickups very hard with 1 minute recovery. Now we are on volcano watch!!! We will make it home someday.
4/18 Sunday: 7 miles in 52 minutes
Long travel day to Kinsale on the southern coast of Ireland. Heather and I did some running on the surrounding hills. Lots of ups and downs on this course.
