Running in the 2nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day-5K Festival at noon this Saturday would make my heart very sad.

Why? Because I smoke like a chimney and eat like a Viking. I get winded just running numbers through my head.

However, my heart will also feel very happy at the 5K festival because local high school students will be recognized for winning scholarships. Winners were picked on academic achievement, life experience, individual need, and desire to succeed.
