Kiss Me I’m Irish Tukee Style

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!!
