It was cold (35 F), Windy (30 mph) and snowing (3 inches) for the Shamrock Shuffle 8K race yesterday…. But I was determined not to miss yet another race this year. Thx to Sri for pushing me during the race, I finished it in [51:28](http://results.active.com/pages/oneResult.jsp?pID=51806403&rsID=76170&ref=kudithipudi.org) minutes. Thats an average of 10:22/mile.

This is how the course looked like. The road was so slushly that my feet were frozen and I couldn’t feel them till the 2nd mile.
