What a Weekend! 2

Sunday I woke up early and brought Sam coffee and a chocolate croissant from the Drowsy Parrot. It sounds really sweet and nice when I read that line, but don't worry, I got myself a coffee drink and a chocolate croissant too.

After church we ran a 5K in downtown Ann Arbor called "Shamrock's & Shenanigan's." It was sponsored by Conor O'Neill's, an Irish pub on Main Street. We got there soon before registration closed, and so we didn't get t-shirts (big bummer). On the plus side, it was just gorgeous outside today. It was sunny at 60 degrees, pretty nice for early March! Sam was planning on meeting Jamie (her bridesmaid she works with) to run with. The men started at 2:00 and the women started at 2:30, so Sam held our phones and my wallet and stuff while I ran, and then I had to find her quick and grab the stuff before she had to run. It was a pretty good race, we did three laps around several downtown blocks, though there were some pretty good hills in the course. We both ran pretty hard and though we both feel out of shape were happy with how we did.
The scene downtown, looking toward the finish line, standing on the corner of Washington & Main. I would've taken a picture of Sam, but she "waved me off."










An decked out Irish runner. There was a professional leprechaun running around too, but I didn't see too much of him after the races.






Later on, Sam's parents took us (thanks!) out to Grizzly Peak Brewing Company at Sam's request. The hazelnut fettecine alfredo that is great that Sam had been planning on ordering for her birthday dinner was taken off the menu last week, so she settled for another dish (which was still pretty good). She received a free dessert for her birthday, a $10 off coupon for her next visit, and a free Grizzly Peak beer glass.

Happy Birthday!!
