American Red Cross 5k Walk/Run - do we want to form a group?

Hey everyone,

The American Red Cross is having their annual 5k (3.13 mile) walk/run on Saturday April 18th, 2009 in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia.  You can even bring your pet and they have an award for the "top dog"!!!  Personally, I'd like to do this 5K walk/run.

*IF* I formed a Team (team name TBD - perhaps we'll have a quick contest) about how many people would be interested in joining?  Would you be willing to cough up *some* cash to cover the costs of making team t-shirts?

Here are some details:

Let me know what you think via posting here, if you don't mind.

Sounds like fun, but I am going to be not too far out from plastic surgery, so i don't think I will be up to doing a 5K at that point.  Plus, I already have a big commitment that weekend.

If you do end up doing it, have a great time!

Hi Greg,
It sounds like a great idea - but I  will only be two days out from plastics - so I can not make
it either.

I would love to but I am having thigh plastics 2 weeks prior count me in next time
Susan

i will be in NC then I am sorry but it is a good idea

Sounds like you should form a plastic surgery club instead...looks like all the cool kids are doing it

I'm in! Let me know what comes about. I'm calling you as the head organizer.  Not it.

Sorry, I'm also having plastics a couple weeks before that.  It is a great idea and hopefully you can get a group together.

I'd definately be interested - the only thing would be my work schedule - I'd have to "count" weekends to figure out if that is when I am supposed to work....I'll get back to you on that part of it.  Assuming I'm not working, i'd love to be a part of it.

I don't think I'd be running it....I started training early last year for a 5k walk/run and hated every minute of jogging I did so I didn't stick with it.  I was, however, the first walker to cross the line from our "group" that went.

I will do it and my husband and daughter will join in too.  Maybe we will even bring our two dogs!  We are walkers, not runner, though.  Thanks!
