St. Patty's Day (A Couple Weeks Late!)

We have still been trying to play catch up ever since we left for the spring break trip to New York. It has been non stop running around and now there is finally a chance to breathe a bit. Just a couple of days after we returned from the NYC trip we had our St. Louis St. Patrick's Day Parade 5 mile run. I have done this run four times previously and the both of us did it a couple of years ago. It is a pretty popular event in the St. Louis area as it precedes the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in downtown St. Louis. We usually do not stick around for the parade since it gets fairly crowded. Instead we head to a local Irish pub for some authentic cuisine and a nice cold pint of Guinness.

Oddly enough on St. Patrick's Day (the run was the Saturday prior) we did not do anything special. I had a couple pints of Guinness though to celebrate. Below are the pictures from the run and my meal from McGurk's Irish Pub. You can see the potato soup Ashley had in the background of my Guinness Stew. I hope it does not make you too hungry, but it was absolutely delicious!
