Shamrock on Saturday

The Shamrock Shuffle is this Saturday. I'll never know why NASCAR and recreational 5K runners have their World Championship as the first race of the year. Physically I'm not 100%, but then I haven't been 100% in the last couple decades. My only concern is a left knee that aches a little. It doesn't hurt enough to stop or even slow down. It hurts just enough to be a little concerned. It could be fine on the big day, it could buckle. Stay tuned to find out.


MumblingSages has been focusing on longer distances. His times are a little slower than mine, but his runs are three times as long. I think he is faster than he claims. I know I am.

This will be year three of our saga at the Shamerock. I am 2-0. So far weather has not been an issue. That could change this year. Depending on whom u believe, we could get 0-12 inches of snow this week. Spies tell me it is snowing in Minneapolis and its headed this way.
