Shamrock 15K
This coming weekend is the Shamrock 15K. I haven't run this for the past 3 years because I was responsible for timing it. My timing duties are now over so I now can run it. I hope to go faster than the last time I ran. I was in good shape back then, but my recent training has been tough and I am capable of going faster. I also call this the Chicken Run. I think the course design looks like a baby chick.

Jim, it appears your training is going well this year.
Shamrock 15k is my 2nd ever 15k, with the first being the 2004 edition. I'm looking forward to improving my time. See you there.
ha! i wish i would have read this blog before I ran this race - the thought of the the "baby chick" race would have been amusing to me while running up that terrifically long hill!
