One of my friends at work is Irish. She LOVES the month of March and celebrates St. Patrick's Day each day up to the 17th. It's really quite funny. Anyway. She started talking about the Shamrock Shuffle a few months ago and kept asking me and my other friend Megan to do it. So, we signed up - Megan the runner, and me... the shuffler. Megan has been running consistently since January... me? Not so much. I haven't run consistently since the end of the summer. I was a little nervous about running, and I was convinced I would truly be doing a "shuffle." My goal was 24 minutes... that would be a 12 minute mile. However, I made it in 20.50!!! I was so excited.
Before the race
(Although I am not quite a runner yet, I feel like I look the part. :) My sister, who is a runner, gave me some running clothes this Christmas. I think it helped me run faster. Thanks Katherine!)
After the race
Told ya she goes all out!!! :)
Enjoying the St. Patrick's Day Festival
Festivals are so much fun. Who doesn't like fair food, a good parade, live music, and happy people!? I'm ready for another festival and shuffle! :)
Love it! That's a 10:25 mile. Way to go!! I think you are secretly a runner...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this of course cause its about me and you running! You ARE a runner, I have decided that it is less about time and more about distance anyway...at least that is my new philosophy ;) So the big questions is, when are us 2 runners going to run a 5K?!?!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!

PS - Thanks for considering me to be a runner...I do not feel the part yet, but am working on it! :)
