One and All: It's time to dust off the spatulas, lace up the running shoes, and get geared up for the Third Annual Hedlund 5K and Pancake fun run!
For those who have forgotten or are new to this event, the premise is simple: each participant can either create his or her own 5k route or team up with nearby runners who already have a course.
Since we're all living in different places, the idea is that we pick a date and time to start running. That way we're all doing it at the same time.
After the run, we all eat pancakes.
You can use google earth to highlight your route, send it to me, and I'll post it for people to see. You can also send pancake recipes, photos of your preparations, or pretty much anything if you want it posted.
This year the h5k will be held on Saturday, November 8th, around 10-ish.
I should also mention that running is only a suggestion. Last year team Jen, John, and Stella ran, but team Mark, Dave, and Kel biked for 26 miles (I don't know how many k's that is off the top of my head), team Mom and Dad walked, and team Poppy and Posy and John's Brain took a stroller. Your method of completing the 5k is up to you. You can ride in a wagon if you want to.
Good luck to all during your training, and I hope that this year's event goes as smoothly as last year's!

Sweet! We've been wondering if it would go again this year. I can't wait and I even have 4 more participants that want to join in.
Yeah, we kinda got a late start this year - it's great that you've got more people!
Yyyyyyeayyy! I was just thinking about this on Thursday...I packed my H5K t-shirt for my bike trip and thought to myself, "oh my gosh--it's October....is there going to be a pancake run this year?????" IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck everyone! I quit running but will be in my car en route to a yoga workshop. Hopefully I can join again next year. But I wish everyone a beautiful fall run/walk and many delicious pancakes!
Hey, by the way, has this extended to ND yet? If you race-organizers can get this thing going in North Dakota, you can get it going anywhere. Send another invite to Garrison as well. Let me know if you need me on a committee for next year.
