Travel safely to Virginia Beach. Have fun.

Thanks. I actually mis-titled the race. It's the "Shake Your Shamrock 8K" out in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Not quite as exciting I'm afraid.

Jason, I hope that you get a big PR tomorrow. What are you shooting for. I think that you are capable of breaking 28:00

From Jason D on Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 15:12:32 from 68.80.27.222

Thanks, Ryan. Sub-28:00 would be good but it's probably faster than I can run right now. I didn't really have a goal in mind because I am basically doing it as a workout. Likely I'll just try to race it if I can, hoping to run as many miles between 5:35-5:43, which is my tapered A+ goal half pace in a month.
