It's that time of year again! 5/3 River Bank Run is this Saturday, May 10th. 10k runners start at 730am - 25k runners at 8am - 5k runners at 830am. River Bank is always a good time and I know we have a lot of members in here running the race! Run strong people and the best of luck from me to you!

I'm planning on the 5k run. I wonder if I should wear my camo-yellow shirt?

Mason... i'm not as fast as i once was - i was told after my marathon injury last year that no distance this year. i'm going out to have fun and we could so run it and talk cameras the whole time! =)

I keed, I keed.

I hope there's no additional charge for late registration. I've been so preoccupied that registering just keeps slipping my mind.

For others in the same boat this info came right from the site:

About This Event
Online registration is only available through May 5. Late registration (cash or check only) will be held in conjunction with the Sports & Fitness Expo and Fashion Show from 11 am to 8 pm at DeVos Place, downtown Grand Rapids on Friday, May 9. There will be NO REGISTRATION on SATURDAY, MAY 10.

Best of luck Terry. Run injury free. I'm terribly under-trained, but plan to hobble through the 25k. Definately will be looking for the GOO (GU?) -- the chocalate flavor is addictive.

Craig... that is why i'm doing the 10k - i'm not ready to tackle this distance of the 25k yet on my right leg. however i'm already pondering what Marathon to run next year so Game On!

Good luck on your run, finish strong and see you at the Finish Line!

Well?

There were a lot of people in my way for some reason and they were slowing me down. That's my excuse...

I didn't break anything physically except I was officially ten seconds faster than the Irish Jig (5k both) and I stretched when I was done and so far, I don't ache.

Terry, I looked up your time. What was wrong with that? You did 10 dude. Good job!

Now, Im going to go dancing in Grand Haven. Woo-hoo!

What a blast. Thanks Terry for the motivational words prior to race day. This was my first 10k and I loved every minute of it.

It was my first 10k as well. And I haven't run much this year. So, I was happy with my 57:42. My calves let me have it today though. I could barely hobble down the stairs this morning.
