Running with the munchkins

Tonight's run: http://bit.ly/19UCvN

My two munchkins ran with me tonight.  Well, they ran for about 30 seconds, then said "daddy wait!"  I left them in the dust.  I could hear their wailing fade into the distance as I kicked up dust and cackled with glee.

Luckily my sweetheart was also with us, and she graciously stayed behind with the hobbits as I waddled on towards 5k.

The Nike+ has some nice features.  You can change the type of "workout" that you want based on the goals you have.  Previously, I was just choosing "basic".  Tonight I tried distance, and found that a screaming banshee voice would interrupt my music and screech out distance in kilometers.  This of course caused me to pee a little the first time she invaded my perfect running zen.

Once I recovered, I turned down the volume of my iPhone, and found a perfectly acceptable and soothing female voice call out the kilometers remaining till 5k.

Overall it was a good run tonight.  I followed the week 9 podrunner, and was able to complete the whole thing.  I think I'm ready for the 5k in about a week!
