Random amusing fact: My birthday is on January 25th, and who may want to likely be a more amusing character to proportion it with than Steve Prefontaine?! I had no concept who he turned into till I have become a runner, however after watching the film Prefontaine (if you haven't seen it, you ought to!), I examine extra approximately him, and discovered that he, too, turned into born on January 25th. So, in case you do not need to run for me, then run for Pre! ;)
I idea that website hosting a virtual 5K could be an awesome way to rejoice 31 years... how cool wouldn't it be to run a 5K "with" hundreds of pals? The "race" is only for amusing--to keep it free, I don't offer medals or t-shirts or something like that. I just want as many humans as possible to decide to running or walking 3.1 miles with me on my birthday!
