Virginia Beach Shamrock 8k-Race Report

Great job!!!!
We did the marathon there 2 years ago and it was soooooo cold. I LOVE that race!!! We finished too late and didn't get to eat any stew, but had a beer. I really want to do that race again if we're ever on the East coast in March. Great volunteers, great cheering crowds, great atmosphere.

The marathon and 1/2 marathon were today. We tried to go down to cheer everyone on, but it was a madhouse! We couldn't find a place to park so we turned around and went home.

Congratulations! If I ever run in a race, I will take the attitude you had.
I actually could picture some of the spots. We visited VB when my son was stationed in Norfolk a couple of years ago. It was February and the wind was blowing when we walked on the beach. But, it was beautiful.

Hi Crankin! Yeah it was great day. The finish line was right in front of the giant King Neptune statue! There were a ton of military personnel running the race. I would definitely suggest doing it at least once. It was a great experience.

BF is actually signed up for a 5k this coming weekend at the oceanfront. He definitely caught the bug

Well, I am not competitive at all, but my friend is a development officer for the local hospital. They have a 5k in June and I told her I would do it. She's my riding buddy, so she knows that I will be pushing it to actually run in an event. Plenty of people walk it, so I know I won't be last!
