Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In honor of Patrick's Day, here are some tips for being a green runner.

And, speaking of St. Patrick's Day and the luck of the Irish, do you have a special lucky charm or ritual that you use when you run races? Perhaps you wear the same lucky article of clothing for every race? Or you listen to the same pre-race songs on your iPod?

Take the poll and share your lucky secrets in the comments section.
