My First...

Tomorrow is St. Patty's day.  A day to hunt for leprechauns and gold (I hope I find the gold).  Eat corned beef and cabbage and drink green beer (or Guinness if you prefer).  However, all those things will have to wait for me.  Tomorrow, I am running my first 5K race.  Its through downtown Kirksville and I am pretty excited about it.  I practiced the route yesterday, it's a pretty tough route with lots of hills.  I think I should be okay though.  It's sponsored by a bar downtown, so that is where the start and finish point for the race is.  So I guess I have green beer to keep me running to that finish line.  I will be dressed in green as I run through the streets of Kirksville.  Then have a green beer to re-hydrate myself obviously...and to finish off my  night, well its bowling night of course!  I am sure there at the bowling alley is where I will find all the little leprechauns and their gold.  Happy St. Patty's day.  I will try to get some pictures of this historic event and post after race day.
