8K

The "Shamrock Run", a race in Portland, has been around for years and is always the Sunday of St. Patricks Day weekend.  Its a "fun-run" and people dress in their finest green for the occasion.  Green tu-tu's, green wigs, giant hats, festive socks, its a lot of fun.  I had planned to run the 5K but after a friend got sick, I joined my friends for the 8K.  Having only trained to run 3 miles, I was nervous about running almost double that.  BUT....I did it!  It was great!  Fantastic!  Fun!  I am so glad I pushed myself and had great friends to run w/ me and cheer me on!  I am not even that sore today!!  We had a great breakfast w/ Bloody's at Doug Fir after to celebrate.
