Fun! I'd love to do that but I've never been a great runner. Maybe I'll start practicing and try it :)

 Do you have an iPod or an iPhone? I have a fantastic app called Couch to 5K. Its a training program that is seriously meant for beginners. Over 8 weeks it takes you from being a couch potato to being able to at least slow jog a 5K. It starts off super easy, for 30 minutes you walk for 2 minutes, run for 45 seconds at a time. I love it, it works you up gradually.

Sounds fun!

YEs I saw this and it's like a lot of fun, I too have been saying I want to do 5k and I have been trying to get to it lol I found on line a beginners training ( I don't have a cell phone so no ipod or ipone).

It would fun to hear all about your training and going to the 5k so you have to keep us up to date on it:)

ALso did you see something about the AK one?

[ReadWriteLuv]

 Yes! I think the Expedition one at the AK sounds like a blast! I'm doing something similar in August here in Washington, only you get chased by zombies along the course while having to run and complete obstacles, LOL.

This one appeals to me because of the party Saturday night at DHS with the villain meet and greets.

I am so not into the zombies thing so that would get me to ran lol

But yes the AK I was not sure of the name did look a lot of fun. My teen told me she would not do that one with me:(
