The luck of the irish...

This past weekend Jason and I stayed in Jackson. We left around lunch Friday and headed down for some shopping and lunch. We went to Dicks and I got a new outfit for my race the next day and Jason got some things too. After Dicks we had lunch at one of our favorite places, Five Guys. It is amazing, if you havent tried it, i suggest you do :) When we left there we went to Fleet Feet so I could get some new running shoes. My old ones had some miles on them. Before we went to our hotel we had wedding cake cupcakes from Gigi's cupcakes. They were amazing, but no way we could eat all of that icing! We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in the old King Edward Hotel. The hotel was so nice. We got in and dressed and met up with our friends the Popes and Matthew McCool for some good seafood at Shuckers. We called it an early night because Jason, Gena and I were racing the next morning. Bright and early Saturday we got up to race in the Mal's St. Paddy's day race. It was great weather and I set a new pr. I haven't really ran much since my half in December, so this past week I decided to get back in the groove. I have already got 3 more races in mind. I want to do the Natchez Trace 10k, the Marathon Makeover 1/2 marathon in October ( the day after my bday!) and The St. Jude Marathon... better get busy. After the race I went with Jason to Edwin Watts and he got some new clubs. We had lunch at Kiefers. It is amazing!!! We ate at the one down town and then met up with some of our friends for the parade. We had lunch at Hal and Mal's with our friends Grant and Rachel. We decided that downtown was way to busy and we were ready for an easy night so we went to the movies and saw "Hall Pass" It is HILARIOUS, BUT very graphic. Not one for everybody. We finished the night with some Cold Stone :) Jason and I packed up early Sunday morning, had Krispy Kreme and made it home in time for church. After church we met up with Katelin and Trent and the boys taught us to play golf ( not very well). It was a GREAT weekend, but we were really glad to get Jack back home Sunday evening.
