Why does everyone hate our blog now?

Hehe JAY KAY!

But srsly.

Goblin Gallop? Sara, you still interested? Anyone else? I'm in! I'll bust out The Flash :)

It's $22 (plus ~$3 service charge), so not tooo shabby. I mean, the t-shirt glows in the dark. BONUS! Fairfax, 10/30, 9am.

Also could anyone be talked into Hot Chocolate 15k in December? There's a dearth of good distance races in that month (for good reason, of course). I think it's like $65 though, smarts a bit.

ALSO!! Sorry I bailed on running this morning, Aber. Maybe we could go out for a jaunt Sat morning? Anyone else wanna join?
