Get your Rear in Gear!
It was just a mere 5 days ago that I decided to exercise everyday, and I'm already doing a 5K! Today my business partner, Pam Norris, some of her neighbors, a few hundred other participants and I participated in a 5K called Get your Rear in Gear which is a run/walk for colon/rectal cancer awareness. It was held in Fletcher Park in the heart of Raleigh, and the course ran through the St. Mary's area near Cameron Village and Glenwood Avenue. I love this part of town with all of its unqiue older homes, great shops and restaurants. Very cool. Very eclectic.
There were a lot of serious runners. Pam and I were barely serious walkers. It was 34 degrees when I left the house at 6:45 When we got there we realized that it was more than just a race; t Ihere were some great sponsors there too: 99.9 The Fan radio station; Rex/UNC Health Care. Hutzenbuhler, GI. Wake Med. Setup. and so many others from the health care industry. The Raleigh/Durham area is one of the best places to live in the world because of its medical facilities. It's also a great place to find a job if you are in the health care field. Both Rex and Duke have opened new facilities in Knightdale and other areas in East Wake and Johnston Counties.
Anyway, we made it the 3 miles. And I'm pretty sure that means I'm ahead in exercise, and therefor I do not have to work out tomorrow. Right? To see photos please visit us on www.wkrp.com
