One of Ireland's most enjoyed holidays arrived and I guess unfortunately I did not get to enjoy it so much. I was working registrations today for one of the best 5K's in Boston the Ras Na Eireann which has over 3000 registered participants.
It was a long day, and while there was plenty of running talk and chatter, no running for me today.
No alcohol either, I do not remember when I last had a dry St Patrick's day.
The highlight of my day was my meeting with Bill Rodgers, I meet him a few weeks back in Hyannis at the Hyannis Marathon. Today, he was signing posters and giving them out to our runners for the Ras. He walked right past me as I was chatting to someone and said "hello emma" to say that it delighted me was an understatment. Here is a former Boston Marathon runner, just saying hello to me.
Later he sent over a signed poster, wishing me all the best in the 111th Boston Marathon. It is something that I will definitately keep as a memento of my first Boston experience.
