Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

ita's thread

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well, you can alternate kicking and punching. 1/2 punchy, 1/2 mile kicky -- whatever suits your pleasure.

That sounds like total fun!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would do a 5Krav! I would do the HELL out of it!

The finisher medal would be pink gingham, of course. Or the medal would be an appropriate symbol, but on a pink gingham ribbon.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I would totally do that. I would fly to LA to do a 5Krav for ita's charity.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

If this happens, I am so there.

The status is NOT quo.

It's a lovely idea, but my experience with races is that they are massive undertakings. If you're serious, consider contacting A Runner's Circle, a local running shop. They've partnered with other nonprofits and have a good sense of what it takes to put one together.

Punishingly Intricate

We do a 5K every year for a trout restoration org that has, at tops, 50 participants. I always come in dead last! It's awesome and idiosyncratic and I imagine ita's 5Krav could be the same.

The status is NOT quo.

LA is a huge running town. I've never been to a race with fewer than 500. But I'm all in if we could make it work. I know my running team would participate and fundraise.

I would NEVER do something like this without the backing of ita's family and the Buffistas. Never.

But if we want to make it happen, I will make it happen.

Compassionately intolerant

I would absolutely help from afar.
