One of their staff members (Robbie) started the race 15 minutes later and if you didn't get passed by him, you got a sports bottle as you crossed the finish line. The course is an out and back. And the first two miles is essentially two miles of downhill (there's a little uphill at the end of the first 2 miles), which means the back is pretty much two miles of uphill. It was masachistic! About 200 yards from the finish, I could hear that Robbie was coming on strong behind us, so I pushed and crossed the line 38 minutes and 43 seconds after I started. And I did this all while wearing my St. Paddy's day (now lucky) headband.

Four Courts Four Miler
Before I got my horrible cold, I ran Pacer's Four Courts Four Miler race. It's basically their St. Patrick's Day run. They had a great shirt last year: technical tee with a clover leaf and it said "Kiss me, I'm a Runner." I loved that shirt. (I can't find it right now, hence the past tense.) This year's shirt was not so great. But they did have a nice gimmick.
