St Patrick's weekend.

St Patrick's weekend.

Saturday agenda-race?

1. Clewiston sugar festival
2. duffy's shamrock run
3.  ft Lauderdale shamrock run

Saturday agenda-race?

1. Chattanooga shamrock run
2. excaliber 10 miler/2 mile dragon slayer
3. bal harbor 5k

The latter was closest in proximity, however I had some unfinished business. Last year, prior to the stroke, I pre-registered for #2, it was the last of the game of stones series. All 4 completes the holy grail challenge.
