SHAMROCK 8k

My KK and I went on the Yuengling Shamrock 8k Run at the boardwalk Sat. morning. We stayed up pretty late the night before hanging out together then got up at 6:30 sat morning. We left in plenty time to start the run at 8:00 AM but unfortunately, we had the hardest time finding a parking spot. It was crowded and as we ran from street to street, we heard the national anthem being sung and the race begin without us. :( We finally reached 33rd st., the STARTING LINE  ( Yeah!!!) The only problem was that we not only missed part of the race, at the beginning, where all the runners and joggers arrange themselves in the front of the mob and the walkers position themselves at the rear, but we were dead last to start. Kinda embarrassing cause we were all decked out in our St. Patrick sweat outfits and everyone was cheering us on. It was hard for us to weave through thousands of people without running into every other person, but once we finally made our way past the excited walkers, it was so fun to run in the middle of such a huge crowd and enjoy the beauty of the sunrise and scenic view of the sand and rippling waves. We didn't do too bad either... we ran it in about 45 min.

I crossed the finish line about 2 min after Kate and there was a big food and beer stand to celebrate our hard work...we decided to go to starbucks for some hot coffee instead. MMMM... it tasted sooo good

 

After the race, we asked this lady to take our picture... I handed her my camera, but what I didn't know was that I had it on Record. She tried time and again to take the picture but couldn't understand why it wasn't working. Katy and I laughed so hard after watching these videos.
