I love a good run.

Summer’s great, but it’s hard to keep a schedule. The kids are out of school. Vacations interrupt our week-in-and-week-out routines. It’s hard to keep a predictable running regimen.

Fall is great for getting back into a rhythm. Community 5K runs are a quadruple treat: 1) they motivate me (and they’ll motivate you too) to run on my own between events; 2) they’re a lot of fun; 3) they almost always benefit a good cause; and 4) they almost always give you a t-shirt and lots of other fun shwag just for joining in the festivities.

If you’re in the Seattle area, here’s a blist of upcoming runs. This little “widget” is read only, but I’ve made the underlying blist publicly modifiable. Feel free to add other runs in your area. Just click on the [Full Screen] icon at the bottom to open it up in blist.

I look forward to seeing you on the trails and roads around Seattle or hearing about the runs in your area.
