How many runners in here??

[AlphaGam1019]

I was an active runner a couple of years ago-- participating in mostly 5K's and a few 10K's-- that is until I pulled my back out! OUCH! I couldn't run let alone walk for the following mth.

Sold my Peachtree Road Race # for a nice profit though. lol.

Running a mile and a half is about my limit, but I iwll admitt once you strat running you become addicted.

I LOVE doing races(well, just 5K's) but I am not a great runner. I am a very good walk/runner. I can run for usually about the first mile to mile and a half and then I walk/run the rest. But I have done 3 5K's so far and I have LOVED doing them. LOVE getting the T-shirt too. As far as websites, I reccomend www.active.com for race sites--its where I find most of mine!

Any of you runners run a "hash"?

There are groups of "Hash House Harriers" all over the world- they describe themselves as "a beer drinking club with a running problem".

Apparently, they get together to run races- marked by flour on a trail...at the end of the race awaits BEER! It's much more complicated than what I described, but that seems to be what it is.

My trainer was telling me about hashes yesterday! Was thinking about checking one out here in LA.

You really should! It sounds like so much fun!

Since I go to school in Valdookie, there isn't a hash near me (unless I want to drive for at least 2 hours )

Run...maybe to the Mall. It's rough just going to Yoga in the am!

I wish I had the energy to run like the rest of you...I did date a triathelete, does that count, he ran enough for both of us!

Hmm, well when I get back from a run I usually have a beer or 2 or 5, does that count as a HASH????

I think i hurt my foot last night! The top of my foot is really sore, kind of irritating!
