So I didn’t run the Kiss Me I’m Irish run in Glendale today for a few reasons. One of which, is I had a doughnut on my car, so it really wasn’t safe to drive across town (literally! Glendale is about 45 minutes from Ahwatukee without traffic on I-10!). SO, I decided to run it in Ahwatukee, instead!
I had my own little race, and I’m sure everyone thought I was crazy, but I loved it! Allergies are still horrendous, but I still managed to squeeze about 5.5 miles out of myself 
. I allowed myself to take walk breaks without feeling like too much of a loser. Jeff Galloway says you should, right??!! That really helped me run even further without suffocating from my constant hacking.
After I finished my run, my hubby and I decided to go watch some good basketball, ie: IU and U of L games, at a local restaurant called Tukees. Food was pretty good, and IU won, which made hubby very happy!!
Then, we went to Loco Patron to watch the Louisville game. Everyone was drinking their green beer and partying like the little leprechauns they wish they were. We even met some dudes from Indiana that went to Wabash College, and remembered when the Purdue Dance Team (myself included) cheered for them at their football games! (They are an all guys college.) How random!
Then after we got home, Ali asked if she could borrow my headband.
Mommy! Where’d my ears go?!?!
Then, we watched Louisville win and make it to the Sweet Sixteen! GO CARDS!!
Tomorrow, morning run with Sue, if it isn’t pouring down rain. I hope it rains overnight, though, so the allergens all wash away! Plus, I LOVE rain! Do any of you AZ peeps like rain? Miss rain because you are a former Midwesterner?
What did you do for St Patty’s day?
Happy Trails!!
Stacey your little outfit is adorable! I actually have those same socks and was going to wear them to run in too!
I’m glad you still got a run in, and looking so festive too!
Thanks! It was fun 🙂 Crazy weather today, but awesome to run in! Got another 3.5 in this morning.
Your St. Patty’s day outfit is adorable and the headband looks especially cute on little Ali-butt. She’s such a little sweetie. Sounds like you got a great run in for the day yesterday and a generally eventful day.
I hope the rain helped your allergies. I personally love the rain. I especially love the way it smells, although I understand that most non-native Arizonans quite dislike the way it smells here. People from Washington try to warn me about the rain, but its such an anomaly here that I look forward to it.
Oh yea, I totally understand! I look forward to the rain out here, and I like the way it smells anywhere. I just hope it doesn’t rain too too much in Washington. You’ll just have to come back and visit for a little bit of sunshine 🙂 Ali says thanks, but she’ll pass next time, lol!
Your doggie does the best poses. She stays so still! Bummer about the race but glad you still went for a run!
