sounds fun, nods! haha run to that champagne! RUN LIKE THE WIND!

I ran a race when I was a kid, 10 years old. Can't remember how long it was, probably a couple miles. But at the time (1979) we were just west of the International Dateline (i.e., Pacific Ocean, middle of nowhere). So they had a race to be the last person to win a race in the 1970s. You could start whenever you wanted, but to win you had to be the last person to cross the finish line before 12:00.

Here in Pensacola there is a prediction run every St. Patricks day, sponsored by the local Irish Pub. To win you have to predict your finish time, and the person closest to their predicted time wins. No watches allowed in the race, of course. The best part of the race is that people dress in crazy costumes, and the spectators pass out cups of booze instead of water. I've never run in the race, but this year I plan to. Anyone want to come visit FL in March?

Dixied... funny you shoudl mention that.. my Dh and I might spend his R and R in FL.... and guess which month his R n R is?! MARCH hahahaha
There's actually a slight chance of this! Bet you didn't expect that!

Ok...I would run that race EVERY single weekend. I think it might be fun to watch my bowling ball butt swerving toward the finish line after a few doubles of Paddys Irish Whiskey!

5K + booze = greatest idea EVER!

I'm in and I've got my garlic necklace all ready to go ;)

so, um, whats this thread about? looks like a continuation of something?

I'm in again and again and again and again - and once again thanks for doing this!

Glad you asked MANDY...every so often we do a 5K....on or around a certain date. This time it is on Jan. 1st or close to it...depending on your schedule. We all do our own 5K's, either organized...treadmill...walk...run...anyway we can. Then we post our results. We encourage each other through-out the process....and....since I know you ahve done a 5K now ;) we can add you to the list if you wish.

I WILL POST NUMBERS TOMORROW TEAM!!

#311 for me again please Gary! Let's see if I can do a second consecutive PB, though with temps in January in the early 100's, I'm not making any rash predictions! Still, if I get up nice and early...

I'm in! #69, as usual. And my sweat doesn't stink--it's sweet like flowers! ;)

Gary,
I would like to participate for the first time. Sounds like a good exercise goal to me. Thank you for explaining. Any number will do.

Number #35 checking in. And by the way, my sweat can't stink here in Michigan. It is frozen.
