Ron and I celebrated my people, the Irish, by running the #shamrock8k in #vabeach. J&A racing always puts on such great events! #happystpatricksday🍀

Late post because I've been busy, but Saturday was so wonderful. One of those days where it didn't go according to the plan, but somehow worked out even better. The Plan: Drive to Shamrock 8K with Heather, run an easy pace and have fun (aka. Restore confidence on a course that I bombed a few weeks ago), run another 5 miles to hit double digits, pick up Nick, drive home, and part ways. Reality: Drive to Shamrock 8K super early with Heather, hang out with a bunch of my Checkers crew and run an easy warm-up, see more running buddies from MNM agree to pace Nancy @ 7:30 miles, mildly panic, SMASH those even splits and kick a little at the end, cool down miles to hit 10 total, pick up Nick, drive home and hang for a couple hours before parting. I was SO tired by the evening and SO happy. I didn't know it was even possible for spontaneous plans and changes to be so good.

Signed Up for....

July 2, 2014

My first race for 2015! This weekend I registered for the Shamrock Dolphin Challenge, which is the Townebank 8K on Saturday and the Anthem Half Marathon on Sunday. After hearing so many great reviews of the Shamrock Race Weekend and my great experience with J&A Racing, I knew this would go on my 2015 schedule. 

I know, I know.... 2014 isn't over yet, why sign up so early? I wanted to take advantage of the lower registration fees - it increased by $20 on July 1st. 

Some of my co-workers and friends have asked how I plan/budget for my running.  I'll have a post sometime next week going over that. 

Is the Shamrock (insert distance) on your shortlist for next year? 

Have you started planning/registering for next year?
