Finaghty's St Paddy's day 5K run

Yesterday I joined some great famliy friends in running/walking another 5K in Snoqualime Ridge. I have done a few 5K's in the last few months and most of them have been fairly flat with only a few hills. but the Finaghty's St Paddy's day run was very very hilly-

Before the race started -

After the Race - with a cocco at Starbucks

There were 5 of us that started out together - 2 were going to run the whole thing the rest of us were going to walk/run the course, the first hill was about 100 yards into the course and I thought to myself "Oh MY HECK" what did I get myself into. It was also pouring down rain and freezing cold....

The Sag wagon was collecting the cones as I passwd them - someday I will not be the last one to cross the line.Yes I even ran the last little bit

I was very last to cross the finsih line BUT - I did it my time was 1 hour and 20 seconds - The time on the clock was 1 hour and 45 seconds but my chip time was 1 hour and 20 seconds... Yahoo I am glad I did this and finished
