St. Paddy's Five Miler 2014

The EAOD ready for a new season of events.  Sometimes the weather is pretty iffy at this race but today turned out perfect for a little 5 mile jaunt.  From the left...Freida, Judie, Jackie Sheila, Bonnie!
 The wind was blowing and before we started it seemed cold but not once we got going.
 Who said there was no Big Foot!  Proof, right here, right now.  First curiosity with the big fella.
Then some admiration except for Sheila.  I think she was thinking the others were nuts, this is not a real Big Foot.
 Then blowing kisses?  Really?
 The wheelchair athletes started first.
Tons of green everywhere although we did not see as many crazy costumes this year.  Maybe the crazy costume people knew I was coming and didn't want to be on the blog.  No Girl Scout Cookie guys this time.  Thankfully!
 Go Freida, Go!!!  Knock people over, go fast, do good and don't suck.
 We always see Nurse Patty at this event.
 Mile one complete!
 Freida was running and we saw her across the river so we took a picture of her.  Can you find here?
 Right along the Spokane River.  Wonderful scenery!
 Mile 2 would have been an inconvenient picture and you know I don't want to take a picture that is inconvenient to take.  So here is mile 3!
 This looks like it is part of the river but NOPE!  The river snuck over to the path along the river and covered it up.  Well, most of it is the river but the path is flooded.

 Friends!
 Bonnie and Sheila are done!
 Freida was going to take my picture and I had to do things to make her notice me.  I am pretty sure there wasn't many people around me and I was easy to see but I didn't want to miss the photo pop!

 Our traditional Rocket Bakery trip after the event!




Another fun event with some EAOD members.  Good friends and good fun!  I am blessed!
