March 21   O’Hartford Race

Last Sunday was the O’Hartford Race.  I did not run it, but I did go to support Sweetie (who finished in under 30 minutes – w00t!).  I usually think St. Patrick’s Day is kind of silly, but I have to admit that despite the chilly, gray weather, the atmosphere was fun and the good time was contagious. Lots of funny costumes and a mini race featuring people running with glasses of beer on trays, trying not to spill. I decided that I want run this race next year (the 5K part, not beer on trays part).

I sent Sweetie off to the start and then I watched an Irish string trio and got a Hooker Ale before heading off to the arch to cheer people on. I managed to see Sweetie and get his attention too.  Then I walked to the finish line to meet him and passed by this cool sign with arrows pointing to various attractions in Hartford.

We saw people heading to an Irish pub, but we headed home after the race and I made up some yummy guacamole which we enjoyed while watching a Dr. Katz Professional Therapist video.

After the guacamole and video, we took a nap together.  It was a good day.
