Run for your life

I've said it before - when I run 5 or 10ks, I normally run for a reason (or at least a cool shirt).  I've done a prostate cancer run, a breast cancer run, dog/cat cancer run, Humane Society run, SPCA run, a Pumpkin run, rodeo run, several Turkey trots, a New Year's Resolution run, and even a German langlauf.  Whether it's a Chocolate run or dirty girl run, there is always a run to be made and a cause to be supported.  I have considered doing a mud run, but that is pretty gnarly and I really would prefer doing it with a friend (more fun when you share the trail).  I was looking over some of the upcoming runs as a tune up for my upcoming 1/2 marathon in January and this one peaked my interest:

I am so tempted.  If I wasn't already tied up this weekend and it wasn't in Austin, I would seriously consider doing this one.  

30 days and counting...

Sounds good - if you get caught do you join the Zombies?

Yes. You have certain life points that you must retain through the course. If you get caught or touched enough and lose your life points, you become one of the undead.

They had one of these in St. Louis. I nixed it from the beginning. The whole idea of it scares me. I've never been into haunted houses and scary movies, so I probably would be squealin' through the whole thing. I'll stick to the Dirty Girl runs. :)

The Running Dead!

I'm thinking I'd like to join in more organized races now that I've got more time for such things. Like you, I like to run for causes. Your life seems like a good one!

Only 30 days?! Ooh, anticipation!

And there are those who think running is boring! I think this is proof that running can be anything BUT boring!
