For those of you who have never run a 5K and then ate pancakes at the National Press Club, you have not lived. There is nothing better than running for a sweaty 33 minutes and then dining in the National Press Club ballroom.
The food after the race was superb. We all expected to go through a buffet line outside on the street and eat pancakes that tasted like cardboard on paper plates. Boy did the folks over at the NPC kick it up a notch. We had a scrumptious breakfast served to us by waiters.
There was freshly squeezed OJ, coffee and my drink of choice... water. If only they had mimosas then we could have really started off the day right. Everyone was served (on fine china) 2 fluffy scrambled eggs, a few silver dollar pancakes and 3 strips of bacon along with our choice of fresh muffins and pastries. I recommend the cinnamon rolls topped with pecans for those of you who are running the race next year.
The NPC 5K was a blast. I definitely was spoiled to run this race as my first 5K. I can't wait to see all you buddies out there next year~!

When I think about running, I usually think about food. Actually no, I think about how much I would prefer not running. I would look over at the track kids in high school and wonder why they would purposely do what I, playing real sports, would have to do as punishment. It "bottles the mind, as if my mind is in a bottle or something."
My thoughts were confirmed when I found out that Matt Greenberg, the jew himself, had become an avid runner. If he is saying or doing anything, the best move is to do the exact opposite. This is exactly the reason that I am writing this comment sitting on my couch rather than running around with my computer. And don' even get me started on those other goofballs.
In conclusion, running is stupid. Learn to play a real sport (and no frisbee does not count).
