These are very inspiration for those of us who want to be able to run one and are in the process of achieving that goal. What is the date of yours and what are you doing? June 2: 10k mud run at Camp Pendleton

sonadora9 Joined: Jul 10 Posts: 16	quote Posted: 08 May 2012, 14:27 It will be my first 5k ever, but I'm excited -- Run For Your Lives, on June 23 (in part 'cause it's on my birthday!); the event isn't just a 5k but a bit of an obstacle course and, oh yeah, volunteer "zombies" chase you through it. I'm looking forward to it; hopefully it goes well enough that I'll have the confidence in myself to sign up for others.
