Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This weekend we participated in the St. Patrick's Day run in Seattle. After signing up for the event, I realized that the morning of the race was daylight savings time, which meant it was going to be an earlier morning that I was expecting. Luckily the race was in walking distance and it was only a just under 4 mile run, so it wouldn't require too much energy. Originally I had been planning on actually pushing myself and trying to get a decent time, but after seeing how many people were there, that idea went out the window! There were over 15,000 people running/walking in the event. It was quite a sight to see. It was so crowded though that it was really hard to actually run since we were stuck behind so many people. It was still fun, and I left feeling like I got my excersise for the day.

Tomorrow I leave for Egypt!! It's a 19 hour travel time on the way there, with layovers in Paris and Munich. I'm really hoping to get some sleep on the plane so I have a chance of being somewhat lucid when I arrive. We will be departing for a camping excursion in the desert hours after I get there. I'm so excited, and can't wait to see my girls!!
