Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow. I am a little in love with the Flying Pig Marathon, I think, but I don't know if I can even aspire to that.

You want to do the Super Run in March, Lee? Capes, Chrissy Field, I think I got a Groupon or something for it...no, LivingSocial

Do you have a running store/running group in your area? Our running store's website has a continually updated calendar of races in the area.

RunningInTheUSA.com is the best--you can look by metro area, by month, by distance, etc

I've been search on active.com, do people use other sites?

I was going to second RunningintheUSA.com It's what I've used.

I'm also going to strongly recommend the Hogwarts Running Club [link] One of the nicest, most enthusiastic and supportive group of runners. It's all through facebook which makes it manageable and in one place. They celebrate walkers as much as runners. They do virtual runs with great medals and they donate a tremendous amount of money to charities -- last year it was $400,000 to a variety of charities and that's what $25 race fee goes towards (bling and charity). They do so much good.

The other group that does virtual races that I love is Geek'd Out Running. The first race this year is a Sherlock one.

I will look at it, but probably yes. I REALLY want to do the bubble run if you do either Sacramento or San Jose.

I would totally do a Chardonnay run (walk) again, and I have been meaning to investigate others to do as well. I could do that tonight, in fact.

I'd be interested in tagging along to local races to walk, too.
