I've been flirting off and on with the idea of participating in some organized runs in Jax... it would be a great way to get involved in worthy causes and provide a reason to commit more strictly to working out. Here's what is on my agenda so far...
Oct. 18: Komen for the Cure - North Florida
* 5K course that starts and finishes at Metropolitan Park across from Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
* Go team!! I've joined a work-sponsored group of 100+ people who will be participating together and will have their scores collectively tabulated.
Feb. 15: The National Marathon to Fight Breast Cancer (AKA 26.2 With Donna)
* options to run a full or half marathon course beginning at the Jax campus and following a course through the unique beach communities of Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach.
* Last year 7,000 + runners participated in the inaugural race -- this year many more are expected! Expect MC to fully represent, especially since the run is sponsored by a benefactor foundation that donates the majority of funds raised to our Multidisciplinary Breast Clinic.
Given the causes related to these runs, I will likely be "thinking pink" over the next several months as I sweat and labor on the treadmill. ;-)
