Message:
Here are all the choices for Saturday April 3rd. I need to know which one will have the least competition so I can place near the top. I am male 33 and can run 5k in about 20 minutes.
1. Bellaire Trolley Run 5k run/walk
2. Run for the Son
3. Shriner Scurry
4. Dulles Dash 2nd Annual 5k & 1K Kids
5. Houston Sleep Center 5 K Sleep Walk
6. Yuri's Night 5K Fun Run/Walk

Do your research: 1) check results from last years races. 2)Find a race with 5 year age groups. 3) Don't run races with guys whose last names are Wade,Lara,Yoder,Armeteros or Riley. They are all faster than you.

Hmmm... I think that just about everyone at the Houston Sleep Center 5K Walk will have trouble completing the course in 20 minutes -- you might take that one outright.
Course you might get DQed for running. ;)
Anybody know if this race allows runners?

For what it is worth the Yuri's night run will be around 100 people. I think the age groups will be 10 year. The course will be a combination of roads and XC and should be enjoyable. I am doing the timing for the race, so I hope the results are accurate and fast. The cause is good and the people putting on the race are busting their butts to do what they can. Go to www.sparx.net/yuri/run_index if you want to know more about the race.

I was one of 12 competitors in last year's Sleep Center 5k. The did a very nice job with the race but a less good job on marketing and publicity (which they've fixed this year). It's at Bear Creek Park, a very nice venue. From what I've seen it definitely appears to be a walk this year, not a run.

Thanks for the advice guys. But the reason I did not do any research is because, deep down I already knew what I was going to do.....Go to the run closest to my apartment. Sleep is more important than the possibility of win, place or show.
I guess I will just take it in the shorts at the Bellaire Trolley run. I am the guy that does a 6 minute first mile, a 7 minute second mile and a high 6 minute third mile while everybody and their brother passes me up, because I started too fast.

Message to Tonya:According to your last post you are only going to run three miles at the Trolley run. I strongly encourage you to run the full race(3.1 Miles). See you there!

Message to runner: I am the guy finishing the last 1/10 of the race looking like that girl who was finishing the Hawaii Iron man in the early 80's.

Maybe that's why everybody and their brother passes him up. He's standing on the side of the road at the 3 mile mark!

Hey Tonya... remember me? Your ex - Gillooly.. I'm out of the big house now and can take out your competition like I did Nancy Kerrigan in the past. I'll just whap everyone in the knee with a lead pipe who tries to pass you. If the strategy works, it will take us all the way to the Olympics!
