Blarney Stones, Potatoes, and All Things Irish

There once was a group who went running,
Their mile time is simply stunning
They ran a 5K
On St. Patrick's Day
And now, for the Bridge Run, they're gunning!

So that's my janky attempt at a limerick in honor of St. Patrick's Day and our recent run. Doug and I ran in a 5K in 5 Points this past Saturday. His dad also joined us and some friends as well. It was our second 5K this March. (brag brag) We both felt like we had good times but our results are off a bit due to a jumbled starting line. We were still walking about a minute and a half into the course. (excuses, excuses) The girls and I had fun matching green socks but they paled in comparison to the man in green underwear and a cape! The usual post race food was very festive green gatorade and green bagels! We're gearing up for the Bridge Run in Charleston on April 5. My running partners (Shelley, Jessica, and Ashley) are attempting our first 5 miler today at Riverfront Park. Wish us luck!
