Daylight Savings and Shamrock Run Tomorrow!

Just a quick note to let you know that the Shamrock Half Marathon is tomorrow morning!  ...AND don't forget to turn your clocks forward tonight (ugh!), as it is daylight savings time (a tradition we should do away with)!  I am not personally taking part this year but have some friends and family that are running, so we will probably find ourselves cheering along the course somewhere!  The first wave starts at 7:45am, second at 8:05, and the final wave at 8:30.  It starts and ends at Raley Field - all roads will be open by 12:30pm!  I have included the "best places to spectate" below (according to www.shamrocknhalf.com)
