First off, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I am not sure how I got conned into this, but there is a run taking place today and I am signed up. The wife is into running and she tries to hit up all of the events that she can. She must have twisted my arm while I was a few beers deep, or what not, but anyways I am running it today. Lucky for me its only a 5k, so I think I will survive 
All of the proceeds go to the local food bank so its a really good deal. Plus at the end you get a free pint glass, and a free beer . Maybe that's why I said I would do it.
Anyways, Ill post a pic of us once we hit the finish line. That is if I make it

My wife and son (HS cross country runner) run in these evnts all the time. They have tried to con me into them a few times, but I just go and cheer them on.
I'm not overweight (5'10" - 190 lbs) but I'm in much worse shape than I used to be. Everything went downhill starting at 40. I don't think I'd survive, even a 5K. Good luck to ya. Enjoy the beer. |

A couple of my friends set up what they call "The Rubber Chicken Relay" wherein teams of 2 people run two legs each of two miles. Entry fee is simply a few cans of food (or a donation) to the local foodbank. I have to get down there in a few mintues .......... I'll let you know how it went. |
| good on ya. I went back to running today on the treadmill after about a 2 month layoff to let my ankle/heel recover after a little surgery and give my shins some recovery down time too. I still need to get some motion control shoes as I figured out I am over pronating a little bit which led to me hurting my right ankle in the first place. Hope you had fun. Were you guys running in snow ? How was it ? |

It's been 12 hours, he must not have made it! I just finished.... Just kidding. After the run we came home and left for the parents house. I would have posted pics but they don't have cell service out there. Also, my damn phone died right after the run so I didn't get a pic of the wife and I at the finish line. Starting Line for the 5k 
Beer line after the race 
As far as time I have not found out yet. I think I ran it in around 34 or 35 mins but I will find out when they post the times online in the next few days. I didn't stop to walk, the entire time so I was pretty happy

I'm a runner. If you are single. you should be too. You would not believe the talent at these races. Alas, I'm married.  But, the wife won't run, so I can look at everything The only reason I ran it was because the wife is a runner. But I do agree, there are some lookers there
