10 Great Reasons to Run the Shamrock

In about 33 hours, I’ll step out from the starting line to run the Shamrock Half Marathon. I thought of 10 good reasons to do this.

# 10 - Drinking a Yuengling Lager after the race

# 9 - Running at the beach with lots of cheering spectators

# 8 - All the green for St. Patrick’s Day, including Coach Bob dressed as a leprechaun

# 7 - Drinking a Yuengling Lager after the race

# 6 - Great hot Irish stew!

# 5 - Drinking a Yuengling Lager after the race

# 4 - A flat race course

# 3 - Drinking a Yuengling Lager after the race (did I already say that? Well, we get four beers – hopefully not full size - at the end, so…)

# 2 - Running in the same race as my TNT pal Nicki, who is celebrating 15 years as a lymphoma survivor

And the # 1 reason to run the Shamrock Half Marathon this Sunday – Celebrating 10 years surviving Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a strong and grand fasion!
