I've never been much of a runner. The only times I ran were from bullies and playing sports. Today was different. Sarah talked me into running the 32nd annual Portland Shamrock Run. We decided the 8k (4.97 miles) would be a good distance to run for my first race.
There was a total for 21,000 people signed up for the race! It was amazing to see so many people running for charity, dressed in crazy costumes, and drinking beer at 9 in the morning. Running with so many people keeps you motivated over the course of 5 miles. I kept looking at the weird people in front of me thinking "I can beat them!" In fact, I did pretty damn well for my first race. Here are the results from myself and my other friends:
15k Race
Kevin Erickson
8K Race - 4994 Racers
Dan Jones - Place 912 -
Tiffany Jones - Place 2939 -
Sarah Callaway - Place 1294 -
The race was the best part of my day. I could see myself doing more fun runs in the future, I don't think I would enjoy training for a longer more serious run. Either way I enjoyed myself.
If I got your results wrong just send me a link to your runners account and I will update my listing. =)
