St Paddy's Day 5K 2012

I finally got Derek to run his first 5K with me today!  We ran the St Paddy's Day 5K organized by the Staten Island Athletic Club (SIAC) at Wolfe's Pond Park. This is a great race to kick off the spring running season.

I love this race.  Two years ago I ran this race for the first time when Nicole was just 9 months old. Derek babysat while I did so. Last year I had to sit out this race because Maya had just been born and today it was really special to be able to enjoy this run with my husband. We definitely could have used more training but we did the best that we could and Derek kicked my butt. I'm so proud of him.

Now the St Paddy's Day Run will go down is history as the first 5K for both of us.
