The Shamrock Run...

First off, I am not a runner.  I don't claim to be, I only run on treadmills, and I don't even like running.  I do it to lose weight (not working very well, hmmm).  I have never done an organized run, let alone run more than a mile at a time before 3 weeks ago.  But today I ran the 5k Shamrock Run, and did it without walking!  Running something like this has always been something I wanted to do, maybe you could say it was on my bucket list. And I did it (and on only 4 hours of sleep)!

Lacey and I at the finish line 
(she was supposed to run with a friend, who never made it, and I was supposed to run with a friend, but never found her.  So Lacey and I found each other and ran our first "race" together!)

Way to go! I am so excited for the next one... maybe an 8k? They are addicting. This won't be your last.
