[Ebenezer]

The race will precede the annual Saturday lunch at Duff's.

Other runners?? Dr. Lecter, Historian, Mercy.

You don't have to run; you can walk!!

[jamze132]

So you guys are going to pay $20 to run?

:lmao:

[Cntrygal]

So you guys are going to pay $20 to run?

:lmao:


:mad:

The $20 is for the T-shirt and the food & drinks afterwards! :tap:

Plus....

The race will serve as both a memorial to those who risked and lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, and a fundraiser for the Volunteer Fire Fighters, Ambulance Corps and Police Benevolent Society and finally Centerpointe Community. The race is also a nod of appreciation to those public servants who risk their lives daily for others safety.

No, I didn't see that. Cool! I know she (and another former co-worker) ran in it last year.

[jamze132]

Well that's cool that the money is going to benifit those dudes. But after t-shirts and food bills, how much money do they really expect to send to charity?

:idunno: Maybe the sponsors donate towards the cost of the food & shirts? I know that when I did a Toys for Tots Golf tourney... the majority of our prizes were donated. Budweiser & Coca-Cola donated all the beverages... the Golf Course donated & cooked all of the Brats (as well as gave us 1/2 of their profits for the duration of the tourney).

I assumed from her post three posts prior that it meant she is interested...but I was just assuming.

We all know what happens when you assume..........

I'm probably in, depending on what is happening with some out of town friends.

[Cntrygal]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[clumping platelets]

CLUMP!!

[mercyrule]

I assumed from her post three posts prior that it meant she is interested...but I was just assuming.Only if I get a BillsZone female tech tee as part of the event.

[Ebenezer]

Only if I get a BillsZone female tech tee as part of the event.

c-gal and I have been discussing getting customized BZ t-shirts for the run.

[mercyrule]

female - I ain't wearing no men's shirt

[Ebenezer]

female - I ain't wearing no men's shirt

Since c-gal is in charge of that I would think it would be covered...

[Ebenezer]

female - I ain't wearing no men's shirt


btw, women wearing a man's dress shirt - VERY sexy!

[mercyrule]

btw, women wearing a man's dress shirt - VERY sexy!My best feature happens to be my waist. I don't wear shirts without a waist.

[Ebenezer]

My best feature happens to be my waist.

Then you would look awesome in a man's dress shirt.

[The last buffalo fan]

My best feature happens to be my waist. I don't wear shirts without a waist.

Useless as we are having a wet tshirts contest.

How are you doing on your C25K program?

[mercyrule]

How are you doing on your C25K program?Sadly, I my iphone is toast so I can't use the C25K app. I was on week 8?

And I signed my boys up for the Fleet Feet NoBo program thinking it might help me get them going. But they are giving me such a hard time. For NoBo, we are at 4 minute walks followed by 90 second runs.

You know, my father never gave us a choice. I think I might have to go with that approach. The rumor around my school was that he wouldn't let us have dinner until we did our workout - which was kinda true.

My kids are running with me in a 5K this Thursday night. That will be interesting. I am pretty sure they will finish. As a dad, I don't know if I am supposed to root for them to beat me or not.

[mercyrule]

Very cool.

Had a hard time talking my little one in doing the Jungle Jog this weekend and after our Saturday morning jowalk, because I felt so stiff, I decided to sleep in Sunday morning. I like evening runs better. Hot evening runs.

Toyed with the idea of joining the NoBo 10k group but the owner of the place discouraged it which annoyed me a little bit.

I've been told to go slowly from 5K to 10K. My schedule gets a little lighter in August and I want to start increasing the distance.

[mercyrule]

Have you checked out the Bridge to 10k program?

[Ebenezer]

Have you checked out the Bridge to 10k program?

First time I have seen that one but have seen others. If I start an interval program will it lessen my ability to do 5K without stopping? I already run 35 minutes at a time with no problem.

I'm not surprised that the heavy drinkers aren't registered. You have to be fit to drink and running a 5k will just screw up the alcohol for the entire weekend.

Why don't you flutter out here and run in it?
