The Shamrock Walk kicked off the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day this year!
We met up at Ashley's house for some Irish coffee, Lucky Charms and Blarney before heading downtown!
After parking in our perfect spot and making our way to the circle, we saw acres and acres of shamrocks (green wearing runners that is)!
This year we decided to dress alike and donned our classic leprechaun hats!
Everyone loves them and we always get asked for pictures!
An Irish Wish
*Ashley wanted sunshine and begorrah, the rain let up just as the race was getting underway!
The scenic trail was full of green and plenty of Irish Hill's famous sites! Plus bagpipers and well wishers!
At about 50 degrees, it was a comfortable walk once we got going!
After a short 4 miles, we were back at the circle, reveling in our time
(1:08, not bad for a girl who just worked a twelve hour shift all night and one that is over 6 mos pregnant)!
We picked up a green beer and enjoyed the beauty of the Columbia Club and Eunan McIntyre's soothing Irish accent!
Afterwards, we headed back to Ashley's house for some corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and Guinness Blonde beer bread!
She also had green V8 sparklers to set off the meal.
We watched Darby O'Gill and the Little People while we enjoyed our Irish lunch and then broke up the party as we both were exhausted!
We were both a bit sore the next day, but nothing serious!
The black outfits with the leprechaun hats were perfect for the weather and we had a lot of fun!
Great twin day!
