March 14, 2013 (Shake #44 @ Restaurant #1325 – La Brea, CA)
Started the day with a trip to the location of the first McDonald’s! Ended the day with the 45th and final Shamrock Shake of this fun run!
March 13, 2013 (Shake #44 @ Restaurant #1560 – Barstow, CA)
What an epic journey it has been!
March 14, 2013 (Shake #43 @ Restaurant #2967 – Kingman, AZ)
Traveling Route 66.
March 13, 2013 (Shake #42 @ Restaurant #16274 – Scottsdale, AZ)
I. Might. Go. All. The. Way!
March 12, 2013 (Shake #41 @ Restaurant #87 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Still the life of the party.
March 11, 2013 (Shake #40 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
This certainly earns me a spot in some hall of fame. 40 Shamrock Shakes in 40 days.
March 10, 2013 (Shake #39 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
7 days to go!
March 9, 2013 (Shake #38 @ Restaurant #1727 – Oak Forest, IL)
Shamrock celebration.
March 8, 2013 (Shake #37@ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Even the Shamrock Shake needs a little R&R.
March 7, 2013 (Shake #36 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Yep, 3 dozen Shamrock Shakes. Enough said.
March 6, 2013 (Shake #35 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Thanks to all the STS kids for helping me toast shake #35!
March 5, 2013 (Shake #34 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Dedicated to “Sweetness” who showed his heart on, and off the field.
March 4, 2013 (Shake #33 @ Restaurant #???? – Gift Shake!)
The Shamrock Shake. Perfect for any occassion. Thanks for the shake Ronak!
March 3, 2013 (Shake #32 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
My lunch after 15-mile run. Still lovin’ it!
March 2, 2013 (Shake #31 @ Restaurant #14403 – Rolling Meadows, IL)
Paired tonight’s Shamrock Shake with an apple pie. Delicious.
March 1, 2013 (Shake #30 @ Restaurant #87 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Starting March off strong.
February 28, 2013 (Shake #29 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Perfect 28 for 28 in February.
February 27, 2013 (Shake #28 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Snow is still falling. Can’t wait for Spring!
February 26, 2013 (Shake #27 @ Restaurant #87 – Arlington Heights, IL)
A snowy day in Chicago can’t stop me. I have 4-wheel drive and no fear!
February 25, 2013 (Shake #26.2 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
After a 9-miler, this was so good!
February 24, 2013 (Shake #25 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
21 days until LA!
February 23, 2013 (Shake #24 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Shamrock Shake carbo loading for tomorrow’s long run.
February 22, 2013 (Shake #23 @ Restaurant #3967- Schaumburg, IL)
Friday night shake from the local mall. Was nice to see so many mall patrons enjoying the legendary Shamrock Shake as they strolled and shopped.
February 21, 2013 (Shake #22 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
A cold shake on a cold night. No matter the weather, the shake still tastes great.
February 20, 2013 (Shake #21 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Lucky #21!
February 19, 2013 (Shake #20 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Got my new shoes today. I do think the color is a pretty good match!
February 18, 2013 (Shake #19 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Is it too early to start thinking about a shake-a-day for a year? Probably.
February 17, 2013 (Shake #18 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
A nice relaxing Sunday evening with a chilled Shamrock Shake. And a warm chocolate chip cookie. Call me McCrazy.
February 16, 2013 (Shake #17 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
The idea of having a Shamrock Shake during the marathon is gaining traction in my mind…
February 15, 2013 (Shake #16 @ Restaurant #6941 – Prospect Heights, IL)
Sweet #16! And, let me tell you, I think this was the best one yet. Maybe it was the 9-mile run immediately before the shake? 
February 14, 2013 (Shake #15 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
February 13, 2013 (Shake #14 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Had what may have been the mintiest shake of the bunch today. Smooooooth!
February 12, 2013 (Shake #13 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Lucky #13!
February 11, 2013 (Shake #12 @ Restaurant #12184 – Palatine, IL)
Officially more than 25% of the way there! Still minty delicious.
February 10, 2013 (Shake #11 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Went back to the fancy shake today, adding the whipped cream and cherry. Got to keep mixing it up over these 45 days.
February 9, 2013 (Shake #10 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Hit double digits with shake #10! I have to imagine I’m in a elite group having consumed this many shakes so early into Shamrock Shake Season. And many compliments on my fine shirt.
February 8, 2013 (Shake #9 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Friday night shake after work and a nice run. TGIF.
February 7, 2013 (Shake #8 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
While ordering my shake, guy next to me says, “Forgot they were out.” How on earth do you forget the Shamrock Shake is here?!
February 6, 2013 (Shake #7 @ Restaurant #17893 – Wheeling, IL)
One week anniversary shake. My oh my, how time flies.
February 5, 2013 (Shake #6 @ Restaurant #12184- Palatine, IL)
Thanks to my wife for picking up the shake after her meeting. I’m thinking that I’ll need to try a breakfast shake one of these days. Thinking green shake and eggs?
February 4, 2013 (Shake #5 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Routine shake run. My helper held the sign, but I wouldn’t share the shake.
February 3, 2013 (Shake #4 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Was starting to sweat after first two locations were out of the shake. Back to trusty #1783 for a shake and an apple pie.
February 2, 2013 (Shake #3 @ Restaurant #23475 – Frankfort, IL)
Nice to see the shake is popping up everywhere. And if anyone should need to know, this location rang up the sale as an eggnog shake. Not very befitting for a shake of this status.
February 1, 2013 (Shake #2 @ Restaurant #1783 – Arlington Heights, IL)
Got this one for the road after a nice relaxing dinner. Nice location!
January 31, 2013 (Shake #1 @ Restaurant #3755 – Palatine, IL)
Giddy up! Thank you Christine for spotting the shake and letting us know! And it sure was delicious.
January 30, 2013
Okay, I’ll admit that I did check ShamrockShake.com. But, only like twice. Oh, and I did kind of check Twitter for any news. And slooowly drove by a McDonald’s or two. I’ll continue to wait patiently…
January 29, 2013
Hope is on the horizon — @McDonalds tweeted the Shamrock Shake is almost back. Not sure what “almost back” means to the good folks at McD’s. But, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the minty green shake will be in my hands within 7 short days. Hahahaha.
January 28, 2013
Another day with no success. I was fooled by two postings on ShamrockShake.com. I called one of the stores to only find they are still selling the egg nog shake. Really?!
January 27, 2013
Despite my efforts, still not a shake in sight. Maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day.
January 26, 2013
After successfully identifying the Shamrock Shake was available in Minnesota, I failed to find it in the Chicago area. For a minute, I thought the shake was released in Milwaukee, but a quick call proved ShamrockShake.com cannot be trusted. Although discouraged, I will continue my search tomorrow.
January 25, 2013
Lookin’ for Shamrock Shakes in all the wrong places! Checked everywhere, but no sign of it.
January 24, 2013
Game on! I’m on the hunt for the elusive Shamrock Shake. I hope ShamrockShake.com is for realz. I’m going to need it!
