On Saturday, March 12, 2011 I ran the annual 5 Mile Leprechaun Run in Philadelphia. It was held on West River Drive. It was everything I thought it would be. A chilly Saturday morning, a beautiful out-and-back course along the Schuykill River, and a few festively dressed runners.

| The starting line was 500 feet to the left of the art museum. |
I ran a good race finishing 67 out of about 500 runners. I ran a time of 35 minute 53 second time, with which I was rather pleased. I was originally supposed to run the race with two of my friends from college, but at the last minute they cancelled. I decided that rather than run 5 miles in South Jersey, I would cross the bridge and join the crowd and do my weekly Saturday run in Philly.

After the race, I ran home took a quick shower and headed back to the city for an Irish Pub Crawl with a couple friends from college. We didn't do the Erin Express which Philadelphia is famous for. Instead we did a lesser known pub crawl. We only used the bus once and we weren't really sure why we paid the $10 fee, but we had a good time nonetheless. It was good to see friends from college that I hadn't seen for a long time.

The city was beautiful and lively as always.All in all it was a great day with activities and people that I really enjoyed.
