how we do st. patrick’s day

March 18, 2015      7 Comments

St. Patrick’s Day is a big one in our house. I admit to slacking off a little bit… we didn’t do any leprechaun traps or chocolate coins, and since school is out, I didn’t have the impetus of stuff that is normally done in the classroom on which to build.

Whoops.

But all was not lost. Mr PugRunner hit the store for some Irish soda bread and dessert and we made plans to go to an Irish pub for a late lunch.

I started the day with a run, wearing my new Green Monster tank.

It was a good run, and I treated myself at breakfast.

Mr PugRunner is VERY particular about corned beef, so our choice of restaurant reflects that. He prefers sliced to shredded, to such a degree that when we go to the Irish pub closest to our house to celebrate March 17, we have to go out AGAIN to get it again, because theirs is served shredded.

Corned beef is one of those few things I find pretty awful, so I just won’t cook it.

We decided to go to Fionn MacCool’s in downtown. Mr PugRunner could have his sliced corned beef, as well as live music, and the rest of us were happy to spend some time together.

The restaurant serves an all-you-can-eat Corned Beef Buffet on St. Patrick’s Day (corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, soda bread and rye bread), as well as a limited menu for those who prefer something else. The food is always good and even though it was super crowded, the service was fantastic.

I loved Bud Light’s festive aluminum beer bottle.

And I was incredibly happy with my fish and chips.

Little man made good friends with the server. Even though she was crazy busy, made a big fuss over his Pokemon cards, and brought him a special shamrock cookie.

And Papa Bear and little man just had fun messing around.

After enjoying the music and the meal, we took a little walk along the waterfront.

Nice that I don’t have to worry about running that bridge for another year!

We couldn’t have asked for a more lovely day.

How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Corned beef: yay or nay?

    Haha I love how into St. Patrick’s Day you are! When I lived at home we always celebrated with a great meal. Your reference to leprechaun traps brought me back to a very vivid kindergarten memory haha.

    I’ve actually never had corned beef but really want to try it, it’s been on my list for months now! I must say, sliced certainly sounds better.

      Definitely try it. For some reason, the smell gets to me. When Mr PugRunner cooks it, I make him take the crockpot outside. I’m awesome like that.

      I will say I am not a huge meat lover in any form, so it’s not really surprising that this one is off my list. Sadly, Irish cuisine is not my favorite (fish & chips, yes. kerrygold butter, yes. irish cheese, oh yes.), but I’m there for the green and the company 🙂

      I want to hear your kindergarten memory!

    What a fun day! I like corned beef on a sandwich, but I can’t eat it as an entree.

    St. Patty’s day is always fun and looks like you had a great time! My hubby loves corned beef and cabbage too and I am a big no! We have a cute wine bar and Irish pub right next to each other and they threw a party and Had a coupe of food trucks show up so I could have some fish and the hubby is still talking about how good his corned beef was!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
