| These are puppy treats I picked up while in Athens last weekend. {No, I did not break Lent over Shamrock cookies... although, these smelled like Gingerbread and it was sliiiightly tempting!} Bridget and Mook went bananas over them! |

| a weekend of firsts: smoked biscuits {whoops!}, your pie, & jittery joes [how on earth was this my first trip there?!] |
I decided my race for March would be the Shamrock 'N Roll on March 10th. When I registered for it I obviously was not thinking that it would be the morning of Daylight Savings. Also, when registering, Byron told me I should run the 10K instead of the 5K, so I signed up [I didn't want to let him down]. Now, just so you know, I haven't run over 2 miles [with the exception of the two 5Ks I've run in 2013] since the Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon...so I was a little lot nervous for the race, which was only a week after I registered.

| excited/nervous/anxious face...ready, set, goooooo. |
Because my husband is awesome, he always wakes up early and accompanies me to my races. Who knows what he does while I'm running, but he's ready at the finish line to snap a photo of me. [This time he deceived me by standing about a hundred yards before the actual finish line...it was a trick finish...but that's neither here nor there ;)] p.s. how long is my hair!?! whoa!

| 1 hr, 1 min |
I couldn't be more happy with my finish time -- given the fact that I have't run six miles since November -- and the fact that I didn't feel like I was gonna die when I crossed the finish line! I'm not a fast runner by any means, so when I finished in my personal best with my legs feeling great, it was a big accomplishment for me. And... a little incentive that I need to step up my game. I'm feeling encouraged after that run and ready to push myself! :)
