I really think the 5K Hangover run sounds funny, I don't think anyone in their right mind would get drunk and then the next day do a 5k run. :-P But it's still funny. As for me, the only walk/run thing I'm doing is over Thanksgiving. My family is doing the first ever Schultz Trot, basically my Mom's side of the family put their own walk/run thing together to get our family out and active after the big dinner. It's only going to be 3-6 miles I believe but it will still be fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-88209529073652936242011-10-17T14:06:30.828-04:002011-10-17T14:06:30.828-04:00Michelle :: I think I could find a 5K within 25 m...Michelle :: I think I could find a 5K within 25 miles of where I live nearly every weekend of the year. Maybe it slows down in Dec.-Feb., but not much! <br /><br />Sprinting out to the mailbox is fun!

Sheesh. No runs for me. I wish I was into that but alas, I'm not. I do enjoy a good sprint out to the mailbox however! :)Michelle (Red Headed Book Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203139179710289533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-51535084990420693112011-10-14T14:52:36.813-04:002011-10-14T14:52:36.813-04:00Sarai :: I never thought running was fun, either. ...Sarai :: I never thought running was fun, either. Until two years ago... so you never know. You might catch the bug one day. Never say never! <br /><br />Lisa :: It is kinda nutty, isn't it? Will it make you feel better if I tell you I might not do the 5K this Sunday? I'm still debating. Mostly because I have to drive 20-30 min to the event and I haven't found who wants to do it with me. <br /><br />Linda :: I know what you mean. Most of the races I have here are indeed fundraisers for a cause, but if you sign up as a runner, your entry fee is your minimum donation--usually $20-30. For some reason, if you do the walk instead of the run, it's free, but has a minimum donation required. I don't know why that is.<br /><br />Alex :: Thanks for the good luck wishes! Is it really hot where you live? I don't think I'd be so into running if I lived somewhere really hot. I like running in temps lower than 70 F best. The lower the humidity, the better. <br /><br />Brandy :: Oh, a Scare-athon sounds like so much fun! You are considering the half marathon?! Wow! I don't have it in me to do 13.1 miles. Are they offering other distance levels. I'm definitely a 5K kind of girl. :) <br /><br />little_alys :: Thanks! I'm working hard and will try to do as many of these as I can. Don't worry about the soreness... that will abate the more regular you exercise. Try to increase to 3-4 times a week and that will help you even more. You can do it! :) <br /><br />samantha :: You've still got little ones home with you and underfoot. Finding consistent time for yourself is REALLY challenging at your stage in life. But if you could plan out your week ahead of time, I bet you could carve 20-30 minutes to run several days a week! Let me know how you do. <br /><br />Brandy :: Thanks re: my new (again) blog design. I think this one is definitely more "me" in colors and style and feel. I hope I stick with it! lolChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-72466922374330556652011-10-13T14:47:53.726-04:002011-10-13T14:47:53.726-04:00LOVE the new design for your blog!

Am very sore right now. -_- It's only been the second week...or was it third. Lost count by soreness.

If I could just pay $20 to do it then I would totally sign up for them.
