Brian & Jen co-opted the Irish theme by injecting some sobering fun in the St Patrick's Day 8K downtown on Sunday. The 21st edition of this classic event featured a flat course, fast competition, bagpipers on the course, runners in costume & a good time for all!Jen twittered:
we ran the whole way, and did 5 miles in 50 minutes. (Brian could've easily chopped off at least 5 minutes -- maybe 10 -- from his time, but he stuck w/ me.) Around mile 2, my bum right knee started hurting a lot and it got stiffer and stiffer and progressively more painful for the next 3 miles. ... Anywhichways, it [the knee, not Brian] slowed me down quite a bit, but i was determined not to walk. Instead, i figured out that a odd-looking leap jump-run off that knee felt better than plain running, so for much of miles 3 & 4, i looked like a total freak from a bad SNL ballet skit. But, that fit right in with the folks running in doc martens and kilts, i suppose.
