    Dublin Girls Greetings!

    The registration fee for the Dublin Irish Festival 4 Miler increases tomorrow. Save $5 and register today. Register online here: Dublin Irish Festival 4 Miler. Registration is almost half full and it will sell out. Due to the width of the streets, we can not make any exceptions this year.

    This running and walking event is on Thursday, July 30th at 7pm in historic downtown Dublin, Ohio.

    Come run, walk and party with us. Save money and register today!

    On Friday, Tim Flahavin of Fleet Feet and I were on the patio of the Dublin Village Tavern "discussing" plans for this year's event. I then headed over to special dinner at Tucci's down the street.

    We then got up early on Saturday to run with Tim and the MIT group of about 250 people this past weekend and the excitement for this year's Irish Festival 4 Miler is already mounting. This will be a record event.

    I spoke with John Davidson and he will bring his bagpipes and maybe even his whole bagpiper band on race night.

    "Sláinte" is commonly used as a drinking toast in Ireland and Scotland. We will use it on Thursday night to begin the event. It means literally "Good Health", and that is what we are all about.



    Cinco Medals Your own Pot of Gold!
    The best race SCHWAG!

    M3S Sports has partnered with the City of Dublin to create the best race SCHWAG ever for this year's event. This year you will receive:

    A technical shirt,
    Electronic D-Tag Chip timing

    A ticket to the Dublin Irish Festival.

    AND... new this year...a Finisher's Medal.


    Dub Craw Come For the Race...Stay for the Party
    Historic Dublin Comes Alive!

    After the race the party kicks in big time at the Dub Crawl . Wear your finisher's medal and toast your new friends at rousing Irish Pubs. The party continues until midnight.

    This race kicks off the Dublin Irish Festival. This is one of the biggest and best Irish Festivals in the country. Like Ireland, except smaller.

    Secrets Your "Live Fit" Tip of the Week!
    Beat Diabetes with Regular Exercise!

    M3S is focused on producing the ultimate running and walking events. We also want to provide you with great "living fit" tips. Hearing that 80 percent of our healthcare expenses are spent on treating Heart Disease, Diabetes and Obesity, I thought a weekly tip might be in order.

    This past weekend I picked up Dr. Maoshing Ni's Secrets of Longevity book for my Mother's early birthday gift. The book is packed with hundreds of ways to live to be 100.

    Sometimes the simplest things can improve your health picture substantially. Daily aerobic exercise can help reduce sugar in the bloodstream by causing the muscles to use up excess glucose (blood sugar), the hallmark of diabetes. Regular exercise can help patients with type I diabetes utilize their insulin more effectively. In others, aerobic exercise stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, virtually precluding type II diabetes.
