That is some excellent race schwag there. And it's an otherwise excellent race as long as you don't have IT Band issues.

IT band, IT schmand.  I ran it with IT issues--still funn!   (I'm not bragging; I'm just not a very smart athlete.  In fact, I'm not an athlete.  I don't even play one on t.v.)  

Weight training and cross training rully, rully helps with IT pain.

Supermom--I'm so excited!  I need to check with my landlord and see if Cowboy will let me sleep in his big-boy bed...  :wub:

My bad! Should be a comma after 5k. Although, that would be an interesting 5k but I think that would be called a parade then!

At the old Blue Angels marathon, they had a 5K in conjunction with the long stuff, and all the training platoons and OCS groups had to do the 5K as a unit. I'm told it was an interesting sight.

If you're interested in running the 5K, please sign up ASAP, it fills very quickly.  Note that dogs, bikes, skateboards & strollers are not allowed in the 5K either.  Unfortunately, no cool Vera Bradley bag for the 5K.
