    Great shoes Tony!

    I decided to kick off my preparation for this event by running 10.52 km for a 1325 calorie burn. AHTH

    In all seriousness I'd like to get in a ½ Marathon this week. I just found out they are having a Marathon here in El Paso TX in February. It'll be my first!

    Got me some running shorts for the marathon!

    Gentlemen,

    All Hail the Hat!

    I need a ruling.

    I can't do the 5k on the 15th, I have plans for the day, but I don't want to miss this. Can I do the walk on the 12th and document it on my iPhone Run Keeper App and post the results?

    Many of you know that when I started I couldn't walk a hundred yards without being out of breath and in pain. The longest I've walked at one time was 1.5 miles. I want to try this. I have printed the sheet out and will have someone take pictures.

    What say you?

    I vote yes, make sure you send the data to Brother Craig and he can include you in the proclamation.

    I would vote "Yes" as well. This is a crazy time of the year and to try to fit a 5K in maybe challenging. Why handcuff someone who is willing to undertake this challenge?

    Maybe next time we have a Royal Order Virtual 5k we can have it as a virtual 5k weekend event. Participants can then do it either Saturday or Sunday.

    Good luck everybody.

    All Hail The Hat.

    I'm in for this on Saturday! I'm used to jogging 2 miles so 3.1 shouldn't be too bad.

    Hate taking pictures but I am very psyched to finish an "official" 5k walk tomorrow. Will be my first 5k that I will be doing in a group, even though its virtual group!
