Mother nature does not co-operate (Pt 2)

So yesterday started off as a possible bust in terms of going out and getting a decent run in, but as I was determined to not be lazy, I layered up, and went out for a run, as I was heading out my sister was also heading for a run, and she's like well you run faster than me, why don't you take the key.... great idea right? WRONG
I use my iPod and Nike+ to track my runs and what not, oh that and to yell (tell) me how far I have run.  The experience yesterday will probably push me in the next little while to get a dedicated watch of some sort, probably from Garmin, probably the from the Forerunner series, more on that later.  But when I finally got the chip to hook up, my sister was already probably a good 6-8 minutes ahead, not really a huge deal, but I was only doing a 5k time trial, so that made making up time hard.  So I ran and ran and ran some more, in the end caught up to her after roughly 2k, and then got hit by a major cramp.  All in all, ran a 22.38 for the 5k, so I won't moan and groan.

Lessons Learned
- Get a real device to track your running, a gps watch, something, just not a device that's meant to be something else
- You're better off chasing someone down and making up time after you have ran a k or two, not right off the bat, because you will feel it, and it hurts
- I also remembered that I need lots of stretching...
