Five things Friday, ep. 7: And, Cans for Comments #3!

  1. We're signing up! Suzy is on board for the Winter Marathon Relay so our team is all set: Amanda, Suzy and me. We still need to figure out who will run each leg (9.2, 5.7, 11.3) but we have some time since the race is still two months away.
  2. I reviewed Chocolate #9 energy gels over here. (I also posted the winner of my last giveaway.)
  3. My plans to run in our local Winterfest 5K this weekend fell through. I procrastinated, so it's my fault but, really, I never thought the race would sell out. And yet it did. When I went to register earlier this week, it was closed. No more entries available! Argh. Oh, well. That's what I get for waiting until the last minute to sign up for a race.
  4. It is ridiculous how long a silly song from a kids show can stay in your head. Ridiculous!
  5. Today is the third Friday in my Cans for Comments campaign. Comment away! Remember: For every 5 comments left on my site each Friday in December, I'll donate a can of food to the Food Pantries for the Capital District. So far, we're working on 13/14 cans -- help me to increase that number! Thanks!!! (5.1: Marlene at Mission to Another Marathon is doing Cans for Comments, too!)
Have a great weekend, everyone. Stay warm! And thanks for reading!

You missed registration? Damn! I'll be missing you then. :( We'll be thinking of you as we're running in cold dark Albany. :)

The relay sounds very cool.

I hate it when I miss registration. I hate it even more when I register REALLY early for a race and wind up injured, therefore wasting my money.

J said...

Yay Friday! Too bad about that race : ( Hope you have a good weekend and stay warm!

3. BUMMER!! I wish there was a way to tell how close a race is to selling out.

I cannot do Hammer gel, does not agree with me! I am enjoying the Vanilla Gingerbread Gu right now though!

Katie A. said...

Sorry about the race - maybe you could make your own little 5k this weekend? And just think - an instatn AG win!

Katie A. said...

I always have some stupid song in my head, and now, thanks to Mel, it's the Black Eyed Peas, "I gota a feelin'" :(

Katie A. said...

You are one cool lady, love the cans for comments Friday. You inspired me a couple of weeks ago do to my own giving - thank you! And happy Friday! :)

I Run for Fun said...

Wow! Love the idea of a marathon relay and have always wanted to run one. Have a blast!

EndorphinBuzz said...

Thanks for helping feed the hungry!

I would go second or third. Or if you go first, keep running the second leg anyways, otherwise you will cool down and your sweat will freeze!

Unknown said...

The relay sounds like SO much fun! Hey, I listen to kids' songs all day long and chant them in my sleep, ugh! It's so hard to get them out of my mind sometimes!

Christina said...

I just finished up cans for comments on my blog tonight! :) good luck!

Denise said...

Add a can for me!! The winter relay sounds fun!

I hate it when races sell out!

Let's make it to 40....

Yay for marathon relays! Sounds like fun. I just can't do gels. Too much sugar at once = icky belly. I like sport beans - on my last half I took a caffeinated pack at around mile 5 and then again around mile 9. Oddly enough it's the only time I ingest caffeine on purpose.
