My first 5K

I did it. It was fun. Met my sister in law and brother and we took Max to downtown Portland. Along with all the party people. Max smelled like alcohol so bad. Could almost get drunk off the fumes. And it was full.
Found the starting line and got in line to get our shirts. My brother had preregistered me earlier in the day which was great. They wouldn’t give me my shirt till after the race since I had just registered that day. Which is fine since I didn’t want to carry my shirt.
About 11:45 we started lining up. And at midnight we took off. My SIL and I ran the whole way together. I had my new Nike+ in my shoe and used it. It was pretty accurate and I look forward to using in again.
Final time was 32:36, or something like that.
Yesterday I returned Christmas gifts. I had gotten 3 ice cream makers so I returned 2 of them. Walking around Target thinking about what I could get I saw the Nike+ attachment for my itouch and bought it. And struggled with the purchase the whole way home. Will it work? What if I bought the wrong thing? When I got home I did some more research and realized I needed a certain pair of shoes to put the sensor in. Dang, I don’t have those. So, I played around with the thought of cutting open the tongue of my shoes and putting it in that. But, while I was doing that I noticed that my shoes are the ones that the sensor goes in. COOL!!!! And they are one of my favorite pair of running shoes. So now I know that I can wear that sensor with no problems.
Sore today, so will only play the Wii.

Um, you do realize that 32 something minutes is fast, right? Good going.
Tell me how the Nike thing works, because I thought you needed a sensor for your show PLUS a thingy for your iPod, but it sounds like there’s a shoe thingy that works alone and then the iPod thingy is a little something something extra? Now I’m all confused.
