I know St. Patrick’s Day is long gone, but I was so busy enjoying it that I missed the opportunity to blog about the fabulous occasion.
Green oats to make Popeye proud,
And give me energy for a shamrock search run!
I felt like a lucky leprechaun for four sunny miles around town. I kept it easy because the real running happens tomorrow!
They St. Patrick’s Day celebration will continue when 4,000 runners descend upon the streets of Providence to run the St. Pat’s 5K. I ran the very same race last year and it was one of my favorites. I can’t wait to do it again!
Short, festive and fun! I earned my 5K PR that day, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. The seventy degree weather didn’t hurt either…
This year, it will be a different kind of race. I have a marathon next weekend, so I can’t go out gunning for a new PR. That’s totally fine with me because there are too many other things to focus on. Little bro is running his very first race!
He takes after his sister…all business. He’s run zero times since registering, so I’m sure his legs will be fresh. Hope you’re hungry at the finish, bro…because you’ll be eating my dust! I kid. Maybe…
Honestly, it will be a blast. There are 4,000 runners sure to be decked in their Irish best and I know plenty of them. Local races are the best for that! Blog friends Alaina and Bekah are running, my aunt and uncle are running, and my {ontherun} twin is joining MomOnTheRun for some cheering. That’s my kinda race! May the luck of the Irish be with us all!
I think I’ll dig into the archives for something to wear. I have the whole leprechaun look down pat.
Do you ever run festive races? What’s your favorite?
