St. Patty's Day 5k

Woo hoo! I went out today expecting to run only 3.5k or so. I reached the 3.5k mark and was still feeling good. Then one of my favorite songs popped up and I kept going. 42 minutes in, I completed my 5k. I love it when I have a bit extra. I know I'm not the fastest, but I'm still happy. Now I'm going to relax.

It is a good feeling. It's been a while since I did a full 5k.

It was Paradise by Coldplay.

I love Imagine Dragons, I never admit to my daughter when she leaves her CDs in my car so I can happily listen to them for a few days, Must get it on my ipod.
