Here's the next big thing. I am eager to make up for my missed opportunity at Baystate and get another crack at the BQ. Fro told me about this one in virginia beach on March 22 and it looks like alot of fun. Flat, fast and cool. There's a full and a half with a total of 30,000 runners. It would be fun if we got a group like we did in Philly. The accommodations are selling out quickly so don't wait too long. We are staying at the host hotel, Wyndham. Plane tickets are about $260 right now round trip. So far we have:
egad:full
gwen: full or half
dean: half
Fro: full (maybe)
Doug: full (maybe)
Who is interested?
Did you see this little tidbit on the race site? You should totally do it...
King Neptune Challenge participants will run the TowneBank Shamrock 8k on Saturday, March 21st, and then both the Anthem Half Marathon and the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon on Sunday, March 22nd. All King Neptune Challengers will receive a total of six medals during the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend!
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
Ya that's not going to happen. Those ultra things are for you crazies in the group. It's not too late to book your flight.

Yikes, you can't really loaf through the half either as you must make it into the transition area by 8:50.
What was I chasing again?
How's the taper treating you, Shamrock people? Ready?
joy, joy - tapering sux! But I'm ready for better or worse.
I am ready to go sooo slow, Egad screwed me by gettin me to train for this then he gets sick and now it looks like he'll be an obnoxious drunk on the sideline.
Good luck to all you drunken leprechauns.
+1. Run smart, be safe, and give it hell

Life's journey is not to arrive safely to the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!
Good luck everybody. Egad, you should provide us real-time drunken updates if you're not running.
Be the ball.
Be your future.
