55 days until the Seaside Half Marathon and 5k, Sunday, March 4th.
For all you people who have made New Year's Resolutions, here is the chance to come out and have a great time and run/walk on the most beautiful course around! Lots of delicious food, drinks, music and more! Thank you to all who are sponsoring the race and if you would like to be a sponsor, please pm me. All of the proceeds go to the Seaside Neighborhood School! The collectible t-shirt designed by Billie Gaffery is worth it alone! The 5k sold out last year, so if you think you might be up for a little 3 mile stroll, act fast!

We did it last year and had a blast!! It was very well organized and well run. Kudos to those who put it on.

I am so disappointed we cannot participate this year as my dog will be in a grooming competition in Atlanta that weekend. I plan on returning next year though! It is a wonderful spring fling!

Can you hook us up with a 5K prep schedule? This might be a good New Year's project for me!

You stinker! I thought you were gonna walk with me?? What's this race prep schedule business!!

BTW Supermom- are walkers allowed on this? Or do I have to limp along and pretend that I am running, but just tired and taking walking breaks the entire 5K??

rapunzel

I am, I am! The prep schedule is to make sure I can finish...and not in last place. The website says walking is fine.

My goal was to not finish last. I found this elderly man I thought I could keep up with in the race...What a joke that was! He left me in the dust. I did not finish last and was proud I finished at all. It really is a good time.

This is definitely true. We have guests at our condo that weekend and they reserved almost ten months in advance! They did the last Seaside 5K and plan on doing it again this year.

I think the elderly man was my Dad! I believe my 7 year old and my Dad crossed the finish line last!

Such a good pic....sweet memories. Looks like they had a grayt time.

I bought a "souviner" last year. I adored the paintings the students did. As I was crossing the bridge over the beautiful vista,you know which one, I did not think I would make it. I looked up and saw the sign " Piece of Cake"...wonderful folk art. So I was fortunate enough to be able purchase it as a donation to the school. I smile every time I walk by it and EVERYONE that sees it thinks it is the greatest painting.

Jfunn and I can make a repeat performance as the best water stand in the land.

I am definitely riding my bike in this year's run/walk. I can cover more territory that way. Last year was painful, and I walked.

How true! The next day I could hardly drag my body to the beach! Should have trained a little more aka I should have trained period!


There were moments I thought it was possible.


My only regret was that I was a bit shy last year and did not wear a SoWal sticker to meet new friends.
