I bundled up and went for a run outside this afternoon. I’ve never been one to run in the snow so there’s this novelty to it right now. “I’m running outside, I’m running outside and there is snow and I may fall on ice but I’m running outside!” sort of deal that totally makes the miles fly by. The 5 shirts I was wearing and I knocked out 5 miles today and when I got home, this announcement was on my Blackberry, via email:
Registration for the Shamrock Shuffle 8k Opens January 1st.
This race signals the start of Chicago run season! Last year, I swear it was negative a million degrees outside. The kind of cold layers can’t touch. Interestingly enough, the race has been moved from the 3rd week in March to April 10th. I mean, I would have run it anyways but the chance of it being a little warmer while running those 5 miles through the Loop is fine by me. The race is capped at 40,000 people and it sells out every year so you better mark your calendars for January 1st!
