I make sure I fully support the charity or couse of all races I run in. I would never do anything I don't believe it.

I skipped the local "5k for Al Qaeda" charity race for this very reason

I skip any race with the word "fun" in it. Running isn't supposed to be fun.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

It's not?? Oh, my, I guess I'm doing something wrong! Wink

Maybe it's because I don't worry about speed, but just love putting mileage in my log and participating in local races.

I seek out these races because I delude myself into thinking I have a better chance to place in my age group. Inevitably, three faster same-aged people have the same idea. Tongue

I talked a friend into joining me for a local 6K race. He showed up stoned with half a joint in his pocket. Roll eyes

He actually made decent time, all things considered. If only he knew his entry fee paid for training the local drug-sniffing dog... which was on-site at the event... he could have pulled a lifetime PR.
