It's coming....if you listen closely, you can hear the pitter patter of people's feet pounding the pavement training for the infamous Shamrock Run in Portland. Truth is, most people will just stretch a little bit before the race, do a few jumping jacks, and pray that they can finish the 5K run without falling over (your's truely). Held on Sunday March 15, 2009 in downtown Portland, this race hosts about 15,000 people. To help motivate the runners, the good folks at McCormick & Schmicks are giving away free clam chowder and Widmer will be pouring some of their legendary beer at the finish line. Need another excuse to run.....well, the St. Patricks Irish festival will be happening at Kells at the same time. This event alone is legendary....people travel far and wide to attend and clank pint glasses with each other. Kells Portland has been ranked the #1 Irish pub in the nation. Still need another excuse....a portion of the Shamrock run proceeds goes to support the Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation. There you have it...no more excuses. Anyone can wake up and jog a little over 3 miles in the morning. See you there.... slackers!
