Dash Down Greenville

Saturday was St Patrick's day and Dallas really celebrates the day.  There is always a big parade down Greenville Avenue for the occasion.  I have never been to this event but our kids have for years.  So this year our kids are not going and the parents are....too funny!  There was also a 5K Dash Down Greenville race.  This was our second race to participate in and we (I just know Hal did haha) have a blast.  The race was sold out at 7,000 people.  It's Saturday early morning about 4:00 am and it's starting to thunder and lightening and we have our windows open.  Should we close the windows or leave them open????  Ok we decide to get up and close them.  It's now 4:30 and still raining.  The alarm goes off at 5:30 AM, we get up, get ready and it's still raining.  Should we or shouldn't we go????  By 6:15 AM we decided to take the DART train down to the event and just check it out.  7:00 AM the train arrives and it's a sea of green.  The train is TOTALLY filled with people wearing their green t-shirts.  We squeeze on with another couple and that is it!  This train is full.  Arrived at the starting location by 7:30 and we with our closest friends are pumped and ready to run.

It wasn't a race to work on your time...thank goodness as this was my first time out on the streets this year.

 I came in 10th in my age group.  It was so much fun I had the best time!

A shower and recovery.

To top the day off with we got to see Anna!
