A Saint Patty's Celebration


     After this morning's 5K and some relaxation this afternoon we headed over to our church's Saint Patrick's Day party. There were irish dancers, music, and corned beef and cabbage (the kids had hot dogs of course) as well as auctions/prizes.
     Big Brother was SO excited to wear his new green hat an he had a ton of fun watching the dancers and then dancing for the rest of the evening. He didn't want to leave when the party was over! We also took home some prizes from the chinese auction, Big Brother won an Iron Man figure while Froggie won a princess bag and I took home a basket with candles, soaps and sprays.
     The party was a lot of fun and it was fun to watch the kids while they danced and ran around!

Green tongue!

Some AWESOME dance moves - sorry about the turn at the end

I don't know where he came up with these but I love it!

Personal Best

     43:13.9 minutes is what the clock said when we crossed the finish; with a chip time of 42:38.2 we finished our first 5K of the year with our best time yet! The kids stayed with my mom while Hubby and I drove up to the Peninsula to meet our friends and run the 5K portion of the Saint Patrick's Day Distance Festival. 
     Can't wait to see how Hubby and I improve over the course of the year - we're hoping to achieve our goal of running 12 races this year.
