You’re Invited!
WHO: YOU! (Yes, you. All of you!)
WHAT: The Live Once, Juicy 1st Annual Virtual 5K.
WHEN: December 31, 2011
WHERE: Wherever you are.
WHY: Because there is something really exciting about doing an official race, and doing it with friends. Because you can! And because I love the idea of ending 2011 with something this cool.
HOW: Anyway you want to. Run. Walk. Jog. Bike. Roller skate. Cartwheel. Jump rope. Roll your wheel chair. Use a treadmill, do it on the road, do it in place in your bedroom. Just do it for 3.1 miles.
Here’s how it works: Post a comment to this page and state your intention. That’s the biggest step sometimes, isn’t it? Letting it be known that you plan to DO something makes it harder to back out. So post your intention, how you plan to participate, maybe let us know a goal. (Finishing is a great goal, if this is your first ever 5K.)
I’ll have a little something for all the finishers! That means it is important that you let me know you’re participating, and give me a way to reach you. On the day, I’ll post on my blog so that everyone can share their stories in the comments! (And also, visit the Facebook Page, where we can talk about training, etc.)

I plan on doing the 5K on 12-31-11.
Starting this month, my goal is to do twelve – 5K’s (1x per month) for the next 12 months.
I’m going to do your virtual 5K on 12/31/11. What a great idea! I’m doing this 5K as part of my training for the Hollywood Half Marathon this spring. Thanks!
