2008 Shamrock Shuffle 8K Race

Today was the 2008 Shamrock Shuffle 8K race. I haven't run it in a few years. The first time was in 1998 when I ran it in 39:05. I ran it again in 2000, but don't know my time off-hand. Today I ran it in 44:29. Luckily the predictions of rain were wrong. It was still fairly cold and overcast, but no rain.


Here's me and my buddy David before the race.


Here's us chilling out after the race.


The following two are pictures other people took and posted to the Internet. I didn't want to risk taking my camera on the actual run in case it did start to rain.



Here's the route of the race...



And just for grins...here's a picture from ten years ago.

I think David and I are going to try running the Tower Trot in Western Springs next. It's at the end of May.
