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.
That looks really cool! I may do that.
I have a blister on my heel just from wearing my old Mary Janes for ita. I'm not running anywhere. Woes.
Signed up for a 5k connected with the cowtown marathon. Benefits local children's hospital and there are finisher medals so yay! I have thus far only gotten t-shirts.
I need to get more active. I keep thinking about taking some kind of dance class, because dance is really the only kind of exercise other than bike-riding that I actually like, but I'm kind of scared that it'll end up being something that hurts my joints, and then I'll have paid for a class and gotten hurt for nothing. (Well, I've also really liked karate, but I know that I can't do that anymore. And I can do yoga, if I'm careful, and that's sometimes fun. I just need to pay attention so that I don't stretch too far.)
Humph, will Belize get you a cape?

I'll be honest: I'm only looking at 5Ks with finisher's medals. Because I am shallow and love the shiny.

Agreed. Though the Nun Run has no medal, but come on! It's the nun run!
shrift, want to join us?
Provided that you aren't in Belize, I'm in!

I seriously thought about doing the virtual Nun Run just to get the t-shirt.
If my family can get organized, that is when I will be in Belize.
I think you and -t should do it, and maybe I can join you next year.
I also don't think I can make Sacramento work for the Bubble run, transportation wise.
Sad now. I will have to see if there are others I can go to, and then ask you all about them.
