Yesterday, my husband decided in the morning that he wanted to get a Shamrock Shake because it’s that time of year. I was okay with that since I know how much he loves them - I think they’re nasty business. It’s like someone mixed Maalox with Crest and they want you to drink it…it’s not a good idea, but I can understand people liking that sort of thing…Anyway, later on yesterday afternoon, he decided he didn’t want one. One of curiosity, I looked them up to find that it is no longer available in most areas!
This was a surprise to us, since we’ve never had a problem getting one at any of the places we’d lived. It also gave us something to do for the afternoon - we called around to all the McDonalds in the area (Shelbyville, Tullahoma, Murfreesboro, Smyrna…) to see if any had some.
No one did!
Because he couldn’t easily get one, my husband has been talking about the Shamrock Shake since yesterday! It’s sad when this is what you wait for all year…Anyway, are any of you fans of the Shamrock Shake?
That’s a new one on me!! I think I might like a Minty Mudbath though…maybe with a little Bailey’s?
Maybe a pistachio shake,lime sherbet or an Irish cofee would work.
Or maybe a Guinness or O”Doul’s?
A belated Erin Go Bragh to all of the Irish out there-even if you’re only Irish once a year!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I like to run. It's fun.
I've been running 5Ks, sometimes a little farther, since I was 15. And for those keeping track, well, that's been 10 years now.
I've run in various 5Ks throughout the Tampa Bay area, including nine of the last 10 Gasparilla 5Ks. As a matter of fact, I'm running in a 5K this Saturday: the Brandon Shamrock Classic.
I actually just got back into doing more 5Ks with the intent of just proving to myself that I lost that freshman 15 - in my case, more like the senior 70.
But I realized that it's gotten tougher - not because I'm far from the strapping young lad I was nearly a decade ago, but because more and more people are now doing these runs, not to mention the heat has gotten even more unbearable.
So, I figured I'd go over some tips for those starting out on the 5Ks, or maybe even the mile walks, because let's face it - these runs are fun, even if you're not doing it to take home the gold medal.
These runs, most of which give proceeds to charity, are great social events, and most come with many free prizes, contests and postrace events.
