St. Patrick's Day Run


Tempe, Arizona

I started today with three hours of hill climbing on my bike in the hills of north mesa. I came home and rested up and then in the evening I went and did this St. Patrick’s Day run. I like it when I can do a race in the evening for a change. The run was 4 miles. It ended up being a pretty tough run however given the status of my legs and the fact that the course was in Kiwanis Park which actually has a few steep little bumps to burn my already burnt legs. Despite the pain I pushed for an 8:10 pace and felt pretty good about my day. A fun run with a cool shirt that I got in my wife’s size which she loved and wore the next day to work for St. Patrick’s Day.
