I said the other day that I'd like to run a 5K again.
And guess what! The Gusher 5K is just a few weeks away!
As such, I am now taking applications for a training partner(s).
There will be requirements.
I am looking for the following:
1. Someone who hasn't exercised in at least a year. If you're a little chubby, all the better.
2. Someone who is willing to adhere to this program.
3. Someone who doesn' t mind occasional cross-training consisting of Just Dance on the Wii.
4. Someone who thinks I look good in my Spankies. Hey, gotta combat that thigh chub-rub somehow.
5. Someone who isn't Flaky McFlakerson.
6. Someone who is willing to start the Monday after Christmas (I can train during the day for the first week, then I will have to switch to a night schedule for a few weeks).
7. Someone who will train outside - I have no gym membership.
8. Someone who will only miss training sessions under the following conditions:
a. You are sick.
b. Your child is sick.
c. You are having childcare issues.
d. KISS is playing at Ford Arena.
In return, I will provide the following:
1. I am willing to be the time Nazi as well as the when-to-run and when-to-walk Nazi.
2. I will drive you to the race.
3. I will turn my head if you have to farmer blow your nose.
4. I will have special t-shirts made up to document our awesomeness.
5. Number four might be a lie.
To apply, leave a comment here, Facebook me (that just sounds dirty), or email me.
And to sign up for the race, whether you'll be training with me or not, go here. There's also a half-marathon and full marathon for all of those of you who are a little fruity (my half-marathon experience shall be documented at a later date)!

I could be an applicant. I haven't run for reals in oh about 2 years. However, I do have really short legs, so my stride may not work well with you. Hence the reason, Matt and I do not run together. And Hence the reason I haven't run in over 2 years. Just saying. Matt and I started that program over a year ago. We only made it 2 weeks I think. I'd love to try it again.
I wish I could do it, mainly because reading the requirements is so entertaining, I would love to see what the actual training sessions are like. Good luck!
oh crap... this is me "applying." I've been wanting to do the Gusher since last year but I realllly thought it was coming in May... not March. There goes my procrastination! Anyway, I'll try not to be Mrs. McFlakerson, but you have to be the time nazi. I tried that program before and just about killed myself tripping while trying to keep an eye on the clock instead of the ground. So yeah, Hiel Erin!
