Correction - and Goal Attained!

Hello Losers. I had thought that the St. Paddy's Day Dash was a 3.1 mile run. We just had it confirmed in the Times that it is a 3.4 mile run. Which means - tah dah: I accomplished my goal of running 3 miles within 40 minutes. In fact, I almost achieved my initial goal, which was running 3 12 minute miles. Our actual results from yesterday: We ran 12.35 minute miles. Woo - Hoo!

I am fine today, and in fact just returned from a 2 1/2 mile walk with Reggie. Bill, after an extra 6 miles around Lake Union yesterday is just a wee bit sore in the legs. Nothing that a good red wine won't cure, we're sure. Speaking of red wine, we celebrated last night by going to Brasa, one of the "25 for $25" restaurants which has a prix fixe menu Sunday through Thursday through the month of March. After an amazing meal of mussels/clams and short ribs (Bill's) and vegetables roasted over coals (mine) and more short ribs (also mine), and sharing 3 glasses of wine between us, we went home and crashed.

So, who would like to get together for a mid-week 25 for $25? We're up for it this week or next. Let us know if you're interested.

All for now - have a great week. - L

(p.s. Jenny, I'm sorry to say, we have no pictures to prove that we actually were in the St. Paddy's Day Dash. However, I could take a snapshot of Bill's ankles to prove our participitation if it would help)
