marcicatI am definitely rusty at doing 5K races (okay, it's not a race when I do it, it's a walk with a lot of company). I do love the new 'virtual' option for most races, which is A++ and a fantastic addition (and turns it into 'just a regular walk, but you pay for it and get a commemorative t-shirt').
ANYWAY it turns out there is a 5K this weekend right in the neighborhood, and I thought if anything was going to tempt me, it was something close enough to walk to, so now I'm signed up, and we'll see how it goes!
I did wonder where people who *aren't* close enough to walk to the start line are going to park, and I found this absolute gem on the race website: "Parking is available at [some local places]. All lots are within an easy 3/4-mile walk to the start/finish!"
(I know it's not uncommon to have that kind of trek from the parking to the start line, but it still made me laugh. Pay for a 5K, get an extra 2K for free!)
