Dermots gig..

Went to Dublin Wednesday night to Dermot’s gig, they were playing in Slattery's in Rathmines and it was real good! Particularly like the Jack Bauer song (yes, a song about tv show character in 24! ;) Blur/Devine Comedy type music, and we listened to his album on the way home. Many thanks to Niall for driving! Was home at 2am, straight to bed for me and up at 7 for work..

Update on happenings..

Haven’t blogged in a while – hmm why is that, dunno, just hadn’t anything major to report/blog I suppose!

What’s been happening lately??? Well, Monaghan drew yesterday in the league, think this means that we won’t get staying in division 1A next year, is a pity, especially when we played so well against Tyrone and Kerry..
Work is grand.. another two weeks and then have Easter holidays for 2 weeks! Intend being down in Limerick then - phd work and chilling-out calling! ;) Noticed that the Plassey 10k is on around then - but hadn’t really intended signing up for it.. Will see, could change my mind.. haven’t done any training since Ballycotton, but just went back gym-ing last week..
Speaking of phd, Lonergan and his ‘Insight’ is still confusing me, trying to get my head around it!

Met up wit hthe girls Saturday night, we a good catch-up! Dinner was lovely and then we headed to the West for a while..
Myself and Michelle are going to go to a kick-boxing class Friday.. we're both kinda nervous/anxious about it cos we haven't a clue what we're signing up for! But am hoping it'll be good.. with the two of us there, we'll no doubt have a giggle anyway! ;)

A quiet weekend...

The crazy week is over! To Cork, Limerick (twice), Dublin, along with juggling work in Dundalk and back to Monaghan… needless to say most of the weekend was spent resting..

Well done to Kerry who won by the slimmest of margin’s yesterday.. a late point won the game.. but it was a really good match and Monaghan played really good – we are definitely improving and it was great to see the guys play so well! …(however, a draw would have been a fair result!)Hopefully we can mange to win a few of the games and stay in the division…
There was great support for Monaghan at the match... I guess the long journay to Monaghan didn't seem all that appealing to the Kerry supporters..

Ballycotton 10 mile race..

Well I ran the famous Ballycotton 10 mile road race yesterday! Ran in a time of 88.52, so happy with that, made it under the 1hr 30mins mark! It was a good enough result for one who hadn't trained in the last 2 months.
Ballycotton is such a nice pretty and scenic village.. Was lovely there yesterday, a little cold but when the sun came out it was beautiful.
Well done to all who ran, everyone ran pb's and improved of previous times..
It was a long way to go for a run, but glad I made the journey.. (though think the drive up and down took more out of me that the actual run! Plus getting up at 6.30 this morning hasn't helped! ;)
