Ever since it started warming up here, I've been trying to get back into running, mostly because it's free, doesn't require going someplace special, and can be done anytime. I need that kinda flexibility to get off my fat ass. I've worked up to doing 4 miles and getting home with energy to spare, so I'm going to try to get to 6 miles, and maybe work up to a half marathon, maybe.
The coolest thing about running in Seattle (okay, maybe the only cool thing since a fair weather runner like me doesn't get much fair weather here) is that one of our local Seattle Celebs, John Curley, former host of Evening Magazine for years and years and years is a triathlete. So he gives money to charities if you register to Beat John Curley and succeed. I don't think I ever will but what an awesome (and charitable) idea.
I'm thinking of doing the Furry 5K because I love the idea of running among dogs and it's money for the animal shelter.

running among dogs sounds so fun. i think i would get distracted, but i run slow anyway so i guess it wouldn't matter.
it's funny. the thing i need to get motivated is a class i pay for that only meets once a week so that if i miss one day, i've lost some money that i can't get back!
