I've never run a 5K, but at the ones I've volunteered at, the mom with the double jogging stroller/man juggling is always a 10 year old kid. Goddamn kids and their energy.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
But the thing I came to post was that my therapist does this walk/talk thing through this gorgeous park up in Denver. I always loved sipping tea in her office but the walking/talking thing has been really great. I don't go every week anymore, but just maybe once every 2-3 months and I love it.
So you spend your hour of therapy walking through the park instead of sitting in an office? Holy shit, that is such a fantastic idea! (And that therapist must be in fabulous shape!)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hm, okay, I didn't know any of that, about 5ks. Also, pardon my ignorance and my refusal to Google, but how long is a 5k? Perhaps it isn't as long as I think it is, if one can walk it in less than an hour.

5 kilometers = 3.125 miles, which to me is not a bad walk but not a distance I could jog, let alone run.

3 miles
Oh! Well, then. My experience being dragged around England tells me that I can walk 3 miles, though I may be in pain at the end of it. Run, though, no freaking way.
Hm. I *could*.
Hm.

Yeah, especially if you can find a friend willing to walk it with you, it's totally a nice hour long walk, if you pick the right 5k it can be pretty and scenic, too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It sounds like a great idea to me, too, until I remember I like to cry at therapy, because no one else can see me there!
JFC, my alarm is still chirping at me, even though I got an email that said they fixed it. They did not!

Zen, I am hardly fit but I walk almost 5K home from work every day. It takes me just under an hour at a pretty steady, but not hard pace...
I just hope that if they do cancel this flight they do it sooner than later so I can get home somehow...and not really stuck here overnight.
Amy, I think they will pay for a hotel since I am in transit.
