I leave for a few days and Mark goes crazy with polls and chicken pictures. I think the barefoot running have gotten to the guy.

Ok, I’ll vote. I have to vote 5K because I feel like I do the best there. Its only about 25 minutes of pain before I get to the snacks, and the snacks are the same for a half marathon anyway.

how does one do that funny blubbing sound one makes when they rub their finger up and down on their lips? That “koo-koo” sound. Anyway, how do you do that on the web?

See…there’s a difference between ‘favored’ and ‘favorite’ for me.

Favored race would be the 5K, for the reasons Jon stated. So that’s my official vote, I guess.

Favorite would be the half-marathon. It’s a respectable distance that requires planning, patience and endurance…but doesn’t completely waste me for days afterwards. And since I know that I have no chance of placing, I can relax and enjoy the race without killing myself.
