Last year, ESPN was there to cover the festivities, so it's kind of a big deal around here.  There were over 6000 runners last year!  The event started in 2004 as a dare between some students, and it has quickly caught on.  I have wanted to do it for a few years now, but never really had the nerve.  Then one night, Erin and I were out to dinner with our bestest friends Andrew (my old college roommate) and Leah, and we started talking about it.  Andrew and I decided we would do it, and as soon as I got home I registered online.  No turning back now.

While not new to running, I have never run in a race before.  And it's gonna be cold because the race is at 8:30am in friggin February!  This should be fun.  I will post my time, doughnuts ate, and pictures upon the completion :)
