Thanks Michele! And yes, you are right... I am doing the Shamrock 8k in VB. It's a popular race weekend and one of the largest on east coast.

The weather will be chilly probably around 40ish or so. The high for the day is only going to be 48 so the more I think about it, the more I am realizing I don't want to have to carry a bottle with me.

I will definitely be at the back of the pack as this will be more of a wog (walk/jog) for me. Definitely being honest here.

I'm excited, but nervous too. I'm just glad that this race is open to all levels so I wont feel like a complete idiot when I come in last in my age group!
