Yesterday morning I ran the IKEA Half Marathon. It was very humid, which was less than ideal, but between the light drizzle and the temperature being about 20° cooler than last year, the conditions were pretty good. Things got off to a bad start for me, though, because the organizers banned iPods this year. That really pissed me off. Consequently, I may boycott this and any other race that bans iPods.
Anyhow, I'd hoped to finish under 2 hours, but I'm not disappointed with my 2:03:07 (9:24 pace). I wonder how the use of an iPod would have affected my time. Also, I had to pee at about 4.5 miles, which cost me at least a minute. Damn you, enlarged prostate!.

What in the world is the point of banning iPods? That makes no sense to me.
Not that I run, mind you — but I do know that using my iPod generally results in about a 5-8% improvement in the numbers I rack up on the ellliptical over a half-hour session.
