Fisherman's 5k - St. Peter's Church - Point Pleasant Beach
Today was my first 5k of the year. It was a chilly 27 degrees when I got up this morning, but I went & had a fun time with my friends Adele & Andrew. I think this may be the start of a monthly 5k race with them, we had a great time & some laughs & Adele even got 1st place in her age group. I won't tell you her age, but she's only been running for a year so congratulations!
Afterwards I rewarded myself with a tasty orange mango smoothie from Starbucks. Yep, you read that right Starbucks makes smoothies now. More reason to go twice a day! & they only have 250 calories in them, so I felt that it was ok to have one after the race.
In other food related news Trader Joe's opened around the corner & I went there to stock up on some tasty treats. I always marvel at how low their prices are & I was happy to get fruit & veggies at really low prices. Even though they were serving chicken mango sausage on a Friday during Lent (sorry God I forgot) I will definitely be back for samples soon!
Maybe I made up for it today by going to the 5k at St. Peter's. Hey....maybe it also counts as going to church too, as the priest gave us all a blessing before we started! Sweet!

Technology Fail
I'm not the most technologically advanced person, but I am beginning to love gadgets. I did try to install the blogger application, or something compatible to blogger on my iPhone. It looked like it really worked, alas, it did not.
I thought it would be cool to post from my phone, as I see a fellow blogger has started to do recently, but he must be more savvy than I am, or perhaps he ponied up the $2.99 for the paid version of my free app. I will figure this out eventually!
Since I do not have much to report I will send another pic out there to the blogosphere. My bulldog, Louie, has to have eye surgery, his eyelashes seem to be growing inward & scraping his cornea. Poor bully! Hope you will send him tons of well wishes!

Happy St. Patrick'sDay
Before I celebrate with som corned beef & cabbage tonight, I will be hitting the pool & trying to swim as much as I can. I think my training plan says 2,400 yards, but not sure if I will even get close to 2,000. That will definitely require the Luck of the Irish to pull that one off! Enjoy some of my pictures from Ireland!
