Charity or not, I can't justify paying that much for 3 miles, and for a t-shirt. You're paying for the t-shirt($20-25) anyway.

I guess I am just heartless.

8/23/2012 4:43:37 PM

Idk I think the color run looks fun. maybe not $60 fun but I am poor.

also, from the site

Would not want my face to stain for months

8/23/2012 4:46:44 PM

I'd stain it

8/23/2012 4:48:44 PM

I think it wont stain your face but it still stains her hands every time she uses her waterbottle running because of sweat/wetness transfer

8/23/2012 4:53:13 PM

The only charity that I've been involved with and I find worthy is http://www.girlsontherun.org/

I was a volunteer coach, but I didn't have to pay for the 5K.

acraw you have been on a nice run of not posting retarded stuff lately...now this? lol

$25 for a promotional tshirt?!?!?!....they're like $5 max at cost for an organization that orders THAT many

wow

8/23/2012 5:03:14 PM

My bad I didn't know organizations got discounts at the press.

$20-25 is what t-shirts costs normally, though right?

My opinion still stands on paying $50 or more to run 3 miles when you can do it at the park.

"event runs" like the Warrior Dash and the Color Run are for the experience, that's what you are paying for.

Other 5ks (and other distances) usually benefit someone or a group, etc. So depending on the cause, I don't mind putting up some cash. It's not about the running, it's about having fun and supporting a cause.

I am also affiliated with Girls on the Run! I am on the fundraising committee.

And t-shirts are never, never $20-25. Unless they are Brooks brand or a super-nice quality.

(also, the Color run apparently does donate to a local charity of the city they do the races in)

[Edited on August 23, 2012 at 5:27 PM. Reason : more stuff!]

8/23/2012 5:25:19 PM

i normally run races for a cause (i do Jingle Bell, Turkey Trot, KKC, etc) but this kind of sounded like fun plus it's been a few months since i ran a competitive 5K

8/23/2012 5:28:11 PM

yall should do the autism run with me in october. i want to get a decent sized team together! last year i tried to get co-workers involved and they were so uninterested. half the ones who signed up didn't even come.

8/23/2012 5:31:19 PM

i kinda want to create a fake fb account to troll someone

8/23/2012 5:42:16 PM

LOL at t-shirts costing $20-25 when ordered in bulk.

8/23/2012 8:38:53 PM

My four year old just told my husband that the sign for "telephone" is "CELLphone."

Occasionally a wedding comes along and it reminds me why we're no longer friends.

Then I remember that one time you called my mom a cunt and I'm reminded of the bigger picture as to why we're no longer friends.

it's a car-nap-at-lunch kinda day

8/24/2012 11:50:19 AM

^^been there already this morning

and there's construction noise inside the building too

so glad it's friday

[Edited on August 24, 2012 at 11:50 AM. Reason : ]

8/24/2012 11:50:42 AM

^^our new building has a "wellness room", aka a room with a couch for napping at lunchtime

8/24/2012 11:56:34 AM

too much coffee

be still my heart

8/24/2012 1:22:00 PM

^^does your place of employment have a "lactation room"

i just realized what this room was, its got a nice comfy recliner in it and supposedly nursing women can go in there and fill up the bottles or whatever.

craziness, is this normal?

[Edited on August 24, 2012 at 1:24 PM. Reason : it should simply be called the barn]

8/24/2012 1:23:40 PM

the Wellness Room has the couch, but it also has a table and chairs, so it can be used for pretty much anything. yes, that will be used as the lactation room if a nursing mama needs to use it as such. it does have a lock on the door :lol:

and i dunno about "normal" to have a specific room for nursing moms, but it's becoming the norm to have a room to sorta chillax in, that can also be used for nursing.

[Edited on August 24, 2012 at 1:27 PM. Reason : .]

8/24/2012 1:26:28 PM

but other people can be in there??

this room is like a small closet with a chair and some other stuff i cant identify i felt dirty looking into it.

8/24/2012 1:27:15 PM

this room is probably 12' x 12' at best. no windows, and a solid door that locks. i guess you can go in there and chillax at the table or on the couch with a couple people if you wanted to.

8/24/2012 1:28:12 PM

that's all the cleaning i'm gonna do for the inlaws. now time for my lunch

8/24/2012 1:29:15 PM

I think by law, offices must offer some sort of private room/area for breastfeeding.

BuyBuyBaby has a breastfeeding room. You're supposed to knock before you go in if the door is closed.
