2005 Shamrock Shuffle 8K (5 mi)


I had a fun time this morning running the Shamrock Shuffle 8K in downtown Chicago. As usual, the city looked dazzling in brilliant sunshine. It was about 45F. There were rock bands, Irish bands etc. all along the course.
The eye condition makes it so brilliant light hurts me, but I managed to get some big sunglasses so I could do the run.
My time: terrible. I have a ways to go to get back to running <8 minute miles as I used to a few years ago. On the other hand, I ran with 24,000 other people, the starting was seven minutes before I reached the starting line!
