3fc Back 2 School ~ Labor Day 5k
 

Is it already time for another 5K? You bet it is

We have had such great :cp: results from our first four 5K's that we can't stop now! Our 5th 5K will be... BACK 2 SCHOOL ~ LABOR DAY 5K. As we head into those final days of :sunny: summer with backyard BBQ's and :yawn::snail::yawn: LAY-Z days, we need to start thinkin' about getting our butts organized for those hectic school days ahead! Well....those that still have kids at home need to ;)

For those that are new, or not sure what is going on here, we are about to enter our 5th 5K as a group. We do a 5K, which is 3.1 miles, on or about the same day supporting each other with our results and experiences. We have found out that it almost impossible not to fit into one of our categories...if you can't find one, we will make one for you!

ALL SIGN-UPS and your NUMBERS will be posted in the post following this one. After you post and I reply that you are in, you may go to it and find your number. I try to make the list colorful and fun...with my very limited artistic and mental skills I do have some nicknames and name variations for some of you. If I offend you in anyway please PM me and I will change it...if you do not have a nickname please PM me and I will get you one. Some are easy and some, because our "history" together is limited, are difficult...some I am sure just HATE it! Sorry

ALL RESULTS will be posted in this thread. I tried to separate sign-ups and results before and it just became too confusing. I am hoping this works.

DATE OF THIS 5K ~ SATURDAY, AUGUST 30 thru MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 This gives us almost a month to train and 3 days to complete it or do several of them if we want.

:woohoo: I'm in again! I don't have a number preference - will be semi-elite again.

I'm in again too. I would like to stay #79 if that's alright.

Count me in. I'm a retired teacher so I really look forward to September. :lol: I'm semi-elite.

Count me in too!! I'm thinking of joining the "yard party" crew -- since I've been losing weight and becoming more active my husband has been "making" me mow the front yard with the push mower (I still do the back with the rider, I'm not stupid!!:D) -- So I'll save the grass that week for the weekend :). Besides, that weekend is our anniversary -- I'll let you know if he forgets (like he has the last 3 years :() and then I can do two, three, four, etc. 5K's!!

I'm in again please. No number preference

Count me in again for sure!! I love having these!! Thanks again for all the work that you do to keep these going!!

I can't break my streak now - count me in (number 6 again, if you please)
:D

I had a GREAT time doing the last one!
Thanks Gary!

Blimey I just got finished this one :dizzy:

Big Bird and Little Bird signing up again.

Sign me up! I will try to make it a family bday 5K at our house as one DD's and DH's bdays are both the following week. Number doesn't matter but I guess I fall into semi-elite.

Lucky #7 is in it to win it! Goal is to beat previous 5k time on 34:20!!! This will be great because I'll be a first year teacher this year - 6th Grade World History....and can't let my running suffer! Thanks EZ!

p.s. can we still be running mates? :)

Oooh, well #21 will let me keep my signature the same...but really, it doesn't matter! Thanks EZ! :hug: A new goal to reach for! :carrot:

~making doubly sure to get my John Hancock in this time~

Sweet-nnnnn-Sassyfied reporting for duty Sir! ;)

YAY!!! I want to join as well! I will do mine in swimming this time!

No. 83 again!

Can't wait!

#34 in again :) Guess I'm semi elite and for the birds! My plan is 2 days of doubles - 10 k on the bike and 5 k on foot and 1 day just on foot. Here's hoping the weather and my knee cooperate this time!

So here in New England maybe we should call the next one the Leaf Peeper 5 K :)

I haven't completed the last one yet (running a bit behind lately), but I do want to get in on this one. I would like to be #47 again if I may.

Sign me up again Gary...I don't care what number I am...I know I should challenge myself to do it quicker or something, but I'm just going to complete it like usual!!! lol
Thanks for the challenge!!

I'm in and will be racing this 5k in Maine while on vacation! w00t!

Any number is fine by me, as long as it's fast!

Number 13 is in!

Hey Gary. I'm signing in. #35 again would be great. It makes me feel young, but whatev. I will be in the "virgin no more" category. Ain't that the truth. HA!!

Hey...sign me up again please..I guess I should move to semi elite...doing 3-4 5k runs a week. Right a month to improve my PB...wooo

I'm in! Any number is fine. :D

I'm in again! Treadmill category. Number doesn't matter. Thanks.

i'm in! number 99 again please, if possible. thanks for organizing this! :)

I might as well; these days I pretty much run a 5K every time I get on the TM. So I'm in. Put me in the semi-elite TM category. I also might be able to squeak in a second one in the installment category (combo of swimming and elliptical).

If I can be #69 again, so that I don't have to remember a different number, that would be great. I'm old, my brain is full. :headache:

Can you sign me up for the Virgin / Treadmill category please? If just one then the Virgin. :) No number preference. Thanks!

i am in again and i am requesting if at all possible either 21 (my anneversary) or 6 (for married 6 years)

I will get you all signed up probably tomorrow...

You gals are awesome!

Sign me up again too! Not sure if I'm going to do the bike or rowing machine this time, but I do know that I won't be doing the 5K AFTER errands/shopping while hauling a full bike trailer!! :D

Already changed my siggy so any number is fine by me ;)

Thank YOU EZ! Can't believe it's been so many already!

Sign me and Jet (my lab) up. We want to be 82 and 82 1/2 again. Thanks so much for doing this I had such a great time and I can hardly wait to shave off some time. I may have to ditch the dog to do it.

me and the hubby are in again - must go post results from this weekend!

I want to try this. Virgin category--also Me and My Shadow, if I can be in two categories--my dogs usually go with me when i attempt to run/walk around the neighborhood.

I want in. Virgin here!!! I need a good kick in the pants! ;-)

Betsy

I'm in...I won't forget this time...

I'm all for it! I'd like #3 if available, if not #33 and if not that..well just pick one for me :) I fit the virgin category but I'm also dragging DH along with me for for his first time as well...not sure exactly what we are :lol:
