Josh and I ran a 5k! We signed up for the Blarney Stone 5k with Jeff and Joanna a while back and were looking forward to a festive run. I was bummed when I realized I didn't have anything green to wear, but the race organizers had lots of green beads for me to wear to help me feel less like a loser for being the only person running not wearing green.
The race was packed! I wasn't sure what kind of turnout to expect. Running isn't the typical way people celebrate the holiday. I was pleasantly surprised with how many people turned out for this river run. I love the running community in Omaha. The course was a great one and I really enjoyed this race.
Joanna and I snapped a picture afterwards. I love her pigtails.
I can't say enough how much I love running into Josh's arms after a race. He rocked this run and I was so proud of him.
After the race we decided to head over to Blatt for some post-run food. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. In honor of St. Patricks day I had a hard cider.
And their kale salad that I am obsessed with. It was so delicious.
I had so much fun hanging out with these guys and love that Josh and I have friends that enjoy running. Are you loving Jeff's hat as much as I am? He ran the entire (windy!) race with his leprechaun hat. That is some serious skill.
Joanna and I will be running another 5k this weekend with some friends. I can't wait!
Questions of the Day: Have you ran a St. Patrick's Day race before? Do you have any recommendations for cute green running shirts? Now that the holiday is over I'm hoping to scoop up a cute one on sale to save me from embarrassment next year. ;p
