Top O' The Morning To Ya

Richard, and I got up this morning (along with about 15,000 of our closest friends) to do the St. Patrick's Day Dash - a 5k run from Seattle Center to Safeco Field, down along the northbound lanes of the Battery Street Tunnel and the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

It was glorious.

The run itself felt great - 3.5 miles, no worries - but the killer part was the spectacular view off the viaduct and the sheer diversity of people doing the run. There were all manner of people - young, old, men, women, runners and non. People were laughing, smiling, wearing all kinds of green and cheering for one another. We finished in about 30 minutes (not a stellar speed, but fine with me), feeling energized and pumped up.

My next formal run: Capital City Half Marathon in May!

(And big, big, big thanks to Mary, who handled our support and logistics!)
