Runnin' O' the Green

What a fun race! The City of Bellingham puts on a St. Patrick's Day race every year, the Saturday before St. Patty's Day. This year it fell on March 14th. One may choose to either run 2 miles or 5 miles. I was ecstatic that Jeff and Izabelle run the 2 miles while I ran the 5 miles!
Being Bellingham, and being that it was an Irish themed race, it rained.
No it poured.
No it rained cat's and dog's.
We were all soaked by the time the race was over, but in good spirits.
Unfortunatly they didn't serve beer at the aid stations, but they did have cool shirts and lots of fun prizes to give away.
Oh, and don't forget Maggie's Furry, an awesome local Irish band.
I finished in 46:52!! A 9:18 min/mile. MUCH better than I had hoped.
