Europe, After The Rain

"It's time to walk again it's time to make our way through the fountained squares and the collonades
Your dress is shimmering,your voice is hiding things when you say I've hardly changed
In europe after the rain when the nights are warm and the summer sways"


Europe After The Rain-John Foxx


The first autumnal day I've felt this fall,grey and overcast w/ the heavy threat of rain,so much so that I opted for my baseball cap and jacket but managed to get the recovery run in b4 the rain fell,the rib cage issue didn't play up today but on a recovery run it really shouldn't,tomorrow will be an easy 6 miler and Friday is my rest day so we'll have to wait to see what Saturdays 3x2 mile repeats bring regarding this rib cage issue.


After losing to Wales in the Rugby World Cup quarter finals on Saturday Ireland has something to cheer in soccer,needing a draw last nite in Dublin vs Armenia "Gio's Green & White Army" reached the Euro 2012 playoffs w/ a 2.1 win to put them in Thursdays playoff draw along w/ Portugal,Croatia,Czech Republic,Turkey,Bosnia,Montenegro and Estonia,anyone of them will be difficult,we've been spared Portugal,Croatia and Czech Rep as along w/ them Ireland they are the seeded teams so it's either a trip to Turkey,Bosnia,Montenegro or Estonia on November 12th b4 the return leg at home in Dublin on November 15th,we'll know for sure tomorrow morning at 7am when they make the draw where "the boys in green"are heading I just hope where ever it is there's enough Guinness!!!
