The Big House Big Heart 5K/1 Mile fun run

On September 30 I will be running the 5k in the Big House Big Heart run. If you would like to join me you can save $2 by registering before September 1. The 5k starts at 9 am and finishes with a run into the Michigan Stadium and out onto the field, finishing at the 50 yard line!

It should be a lot of fun, and I could really use someone to run with me for pacing, so let me know if you're interested.


Update: I am now raising money for the Washtenaw Area Council for Children as my charity for the run.

Ooh, what charity are you supporting? I'm going to do the 1 Mile for the Humane Society of Huron Valley (where I work).

I'm just supporting the default race charity. I don't have a team.

Hi--I am actually already signed up for this (this is Brendan's friend Becky--I helped him move and saw you again at the Dexter-A2 5k). My goal with this one is to just jog the whole thing--maybe make it around 35 minutes.

Would I be a good running buddy for you?

Yes!

Yes!

Jogging the whole thing is my goal too!
If I'm feeling saucy near the end I may speed up, but I want to do the first couple miles at a steady pace.

That's great. And if you want to do any running together before then for training, please let me know.

*bounces happily*

Excellent! As far as training goes, I try to run on all days I don't have class, but I'm not as consistent about it (what can I say, I have a crazy life). So I'm not sure I'd be a good training partner. But as for the race, sounds perfect! Yay!

This might get me out there jogging a little more - It's currently taking me about 22 minutes to do 2 miles (did it three times last week - first time at it in at least 4 months) that's with a couple short walking stretches. I think I could be ready to try a 5k (about 3 miles, right?) non stop if I kept at it until then.
