I'd sorta like to run a 5K once, but I can't seem to do 5 flights of stairs without thinking my heart or lungs are going to explode, so.... -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 19:44
Speaking of, they apparently only post the top 100 from the run today. From the times, I'm sure I was #101. - Dano Nov 9, 18:46 2
- I started running Sept 28th, and first went the 5K distance on Oct 13th (in over 41 minutes) so I'll take it. - Dano Nov 9, 18:53

Took me forever to figure out those 26.2 stickers on cars everywhere. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 9, 18:40
It's probably the most common race. They have them everywhere. -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 18:23 6

  - Lets just call it what it is, a 3 mile. -- nm - ♠Spawn♠ Nov 9, 18:32 2
    - no finish line for you! -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 18:36
