    Color Me Rad 2012 Jacksonville

    Posts: 328 Member
    edited December 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
    OK, I want to do the Color me Rad run in Jacksonville Sept 29th, 2012. I know lots of Jacksonville people have said they were going to do the run, but I figured here was a good time for all of us to get together and know each other, maybe schedule runs together so we won't run alone (like myself D': ). Let's get talking and actually make it happen!!

    I want a group of people with me. My work schedule is M-F 8:30a-6p on Southside. I'm available before & after that, rest day = Sunday.

      I am running this!! I am also off of Southside, normally running the trail that is near my apartment (Villages of Baymeadows)

      I work 7:30-5:45 Monday through Friday and am also available before or after (Now, I am just starting this whole "running" mess, so I am slow right now...just a disclaimer). Sunday is my prefered day of rest, however, I wouldnt be against a long walk or light jog on Sundays :smile:

      I have a few friends that are running this as well, hopefully they report here soon :drinker:

      Checking in, Eli!!! :flowerforyou:

      I'll be WALKING this race, with some jogging thrown in for good measure. Still at 345 lbs, so there's not too much "running" going on yet, but I'm working on it. I live wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out in Middleburg, so i do most of my C25k training solo. :wink:

      Rebekah, its $40 until the end of this week. $45 until August 3rd.
      Eli, we live not even 5 mins away! We MUST run together :)
      Deanna, I am doing the Couch to 5K to get me ready! It's hard but worth it and I've heard nothing but GREAT results about it.

      I really don't wanna go alone, this will be my first race ever and I want to do it with friends.
      Call me pathetic but that is how I feel. lol

      You're not pathetic. I'll have several friends there, and one will be with me the whole time. We even got shirts made. :happy:

      Ha I will probably be walking some of it too!! Don't feel bad. As long as we don't go alone that is what matters. I'd like to run it, but I am going to be hopeful.

      SUH'WEET, I will see so many MFP Faces!!!

      I am doing this with my niece, although she is running it full out, and I will be run/walking it (bad knees and slow pace so I can't do much).

      I can't exactly train with anyone AT THIS MOMENT; however after July 15th I might be able to do so in the afternoons (I work 630-330). If not, i will still see you all there!!!

      Any one not on my friends list that wants the extra support lemme know!! Send a message and add me!

      Shae
