only XXVII days to go!

christmas and new year's festivites are over with, which can only mean one thing: time to get started planning finkbowl. creeping up fast- less than 4 weeks away, if you can believe it. preparations include: scouring the cookbooks for fun new recipes, paying for everything in large bills and asking for singles as change, and brainstorming for this year's saturday night contest (think i've got a good one this time).

and here's the official announcement of something i leaked to some of you over the past few months- super sunday this year will include the inaugural finkbowl 5K, to be run on sunday morning at 10AM. there'll be a 1 mi fun run and a full 5K, with prizes to the winners. i'm planning on designing some t-shirts too, hopefully will have them available for purchase at cafepress soon.

may be a bit ambitious for the morning after a finkbowl eve celebration, but i think it will be a fun way to bring a little fitness (not to mention yet another competitive event) to a great gathering. now get out there, get in shape, and show us what you've got.

The Salvaggios would like to know how it is even REMOTELY fair that this great "sportsmanship" of the 5k is, well, anything but you two kicking everyone's butt running since you've been training.

Going to bed now. We're tired from bowling on Wii.

That's the most insane race route I've ever seen.

n- you obviously haven't seen me run.

googs- there's a method to my madness- the down and back on those two side streets allows the 1/2 way point of the 5K to be the same as the finish line of the fun run- the entrance to the development. will be the water/beer/first aid station/smoke break.

Sounds like a blast to me. Sorry we will miss it. Maybe next year. Will run a 5K here at 10AM (with a beer stop at 1 mile just to feel like I am there with you.

Keep on training
