100% Irish (for the day)

Kathy and I participated in the 100% Irish 5k around Lake Harriet this morning and the luck of the Irish was with us. We didn't fall down on the skating rink of a running course. Kathy saw a lady taken away in an ambulance and I saw a guy laying flat on his back waiting for the ambulance. Scary! Despite the icy conditions we had a really good time, got a really nice technical shirt and I ran at my typical 39 minutes. I thought that was really good considering I never once relaxed in my run or opened up and took off.

I can't say enough good things about the Nike chip! In all the years I have been running I have never really know how far or how fast I was really going. Now I see at what pace I am running and I can't wait to hear Lance say, "100 meters left" or "Goal completed".
