St. Paddy's Five Miler 2015

BoBo from Finding Bigfoot has nothing on us.  We found him and we have a picture to prove it.  BoBo can't top that!

What a day for a race.  Rain, rain and more rain!  Nothing stopping us! All five miles will be completed! (we already figured out the only way to take an alternate route is to swim across the river)

 Lots of rain gear!

We are sort of dry here.  We jumped in the line about 5 minutes before the race started.  That's Sheila on the left.

 Here we go!!!!

Not as many costumes this year.  Hard to wear a costume in the pouring rain.  We did see the Girl Scout cookie guy again this year.

 Lots of these! Umbrellas!

 I missed mile 1!

This is the river we would have to swim across to take and alternate route.  Pretty sure this would be worse than completing the 5 miles in the rain!

 Michelle took her own alternate route!

I took my phone with me to take pictures and disaster struck.  The battery died.  Freida saved the blog post by sharing some of her pictures with me.  Almost done!

This lady ran the race and came back to meet the three walkers!  I think she is bionic or something like that!

The final lap!

Quick get your shirt Jackie and let's get coffee and lunch and dry off!  This is the kick off for the next season of running/walking.  Love hanging out with my good friends in the EAOD.  I am blessed!

Because we were soaking wet be opted out on pictures of our soaking wet hair and clothes dripping water.  Here we are! We made it to the food and coffee!  Warmth and some drying off. 

 Pretty jazzy finger nails!  They aren't blurry in real life.  The photographer made the nail blurry.
