My very first organized run. 2009's St. Patty's Day Dash was filled with rain and snow and my shoes were very soggy by the end. I'm very thankful that my wife got us a hotel room to go back to so we could all change into dry clothes when it was all done. The promoters of the run said that this was the worst weather in the run's 25 year history. I really enjoyed this run but am looking forward to getting back into my hikes soon. The eagle pictures were taken from the hotel we stayed at in Seattle. Really surprised to see an eagle there.
