All of the 5k talk has me with a big sad here. I used to LOVE 5Ks more than any other distance to race but can't really run anymore.

:sad:

Oh well, time to drag the bike out and ride the lakes but it is just not the same. Although the weather here today is pretty sweet.

I was an offensive lineman in football. This body is built for power, not finesse. Every time I run a 5k, I curse myself the whole time (that's why I always do charitable ones, so I can at least accept the funds are going to something good and I'm making a small difference). My multiple past knee injuries also don't appreciate the running though.

Proof below as to why I ran and didn't play football. :smile:

And even then didn't run till I was 30 and than got hooked on the local road races. I do think about doing a charity run 5K but I am not to the point mentally where I can accept joggin' a distance that I used to run.

KC, don't go poking at BMB. You're such an antagonizer.

Naw...I just don't see it as "giving up" to dress comfortably. I did the somewhat fashionable thing when I was younger, and even now I dress in clothes that are not worn, torn or dirty. However, it simply isn't important enough to me to dress in what amounts to uncomfortable clothes, just to impress other people. Frankly, I don't give a rat's *** if BMB or anyone else thinks I'm unfashionable. I have no need to validate myself by what I wear. I'm comfortable, and I can work all day in these clothes. That's what I care about.

I'm digging the stache.
 
Oh yeah. Well uhhh get the minions going and hide in your office?


Actually, I'll be disappearing completely for a while...4 1/2 YO's first T-Ball game tonight!

And, coworker is gone tonight, so it might be busy...but day before holiday break, I'm guessing minions leaving early, will be quiet.

So, CG...gonna need RummyB to keep me entertained.
