St. Patty's Day Dash 2012

I made a promise to myself that I'd do twice as many 5k's this year as I did last year. Since I only did the Turkey Trot last year, I'm already half way to achieving my goal! :)

Matt has done the St. Patty's Day Dash for a number of years now and this year I decided to take a stab at it as well. With most of our regular babysitters unavailable at the moment, Cade got to join us as well. She was quite content in the Bob wrapped up in a blanket with her giraffe and a bink. She was so comfortable that she slept a majority of the run.

Our wave started at 850 and we had just enough time to park, walk around for a few, and hit the starting line. We ended up running into some people we knew so that was fun given that there were several thousand people who came out in full costumes to run. Our favorite costume was the guy dressed up as  a hot tub with bubbles.... I'm not sure how Irish that is, but it was pretty cool.

The weather didn't exactly cooperate, it was raining for most of the run and as we were wrapping up it started to snow. In the end, we were cold and wet but had fun.
