St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching, and I can't help but be happy on the day when my last name is honored. I have several shirts to wear on the special day, including shirts with phrases like: Little Miss Green, Being Green is Hot, Go Green, It's Not Easy Being Green and Green is the New Black. Today I pulled on my green and white striped knee socks and participated in a St. Patrick's Day 5K race. I managed to run it in just a few seconds over 24 minutes (official times aren't posted yet). It wasn't a pr (personal record) for me, but I was pleased with the time I shaved off since my last 5K in December. I've been hitting the gym regularly, and it paid off. In my last post I mentioned how I had survived the brutal end to winter without getting sick. But, of course, soon after I finished typing those words, I got a cold. It was a fairly fast recovery, though. So far, 2010 has been a healthy and productive year! To celebrate my run and the upcoming holiday, I baked my latest creation (seen above and below). The Irish flag cupcakes reveal surprise stripes of green, white and orange baked into the batter.
