What a great report, Beth! That was not 'horribly' long at all, it was "wonderfully' long, I read every word and you certainly have a knack for telling a story! Great report, great photos, wonderful experience for you....."Riley" being there for you, meeting and helping Conor, getting your charm, conquering the hills, and what great scenery, just beautiful! The part about the sheep made me laugh. I did a 10K in Wales, VERY hilly, and we were stopped by sheep around mile 4...hundreds of sheep crossing in front of us, lol. It was funny..and also SO local, we "visitor' runners just had to laugh...no PR that day, lol.
Congrats to you and your hubby. As Conor said "Ireland is a magical place..." and you certainly got your share of some of that magic!
You have a really good heart, Beth. It is a real honor to know you.

You tell one helluva story!
I mentioned it in the marathoner dailies RR there but awesome pics and sounds like you had a lot of fun!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

wow, I'm kinda speechless after reading that. I can't even think of a word that sums it up *enough* Awesome just doesn't seem awesome enough. Great pics, great fun. Just awesome. ha!
So sweet of you helping him finish his first marathon. I bet he will never forget about you and he will probably think of you every single time he crosses the finish line in the future.
good stuff there
