10. I’m afraid if I go to The Domain I’ll get distracted and stuck waiting in line for an iPad at the Apple store. (It’s ok, Apple is closed until noon and the 5K will already be over)
9. I haven’t run a 5K in “x” months/years/ever. (This is about the kids, so don’t sweat the timer if you are worried)
8. I only run barefoot in the mountains on rocky paths – can’t do high-end shopping districts with soft paved roads. (C’mon, this’ll be the Neiman-Marcus of 5K’s)
7. I only wear Superhero costumes in “private” time. (We won’t tell, and this is totally socially acceptable…)
6. I don’t have a costume yet. (Amazon and others have lots to sell, and there’s plenty of time to buy)
5. I have to watch 5 hours of NFL pre-game on Sunday mornings (Really? Well, use your DVR amigo)
4. We must go to church on Sunday mornings (Don’t worry, we’ll be done by 9:30 am and God says you can have a hall pass to do good for abused kids)
3. I love/despise the Longhorns and might be tired or hung-over after their victory/loss at Texas Tech the night before. (Celebrate victory or sweat out your misery with us)
2. I am not in Austin and/or can’t make it there on September 19th. (That’s okay, you can still donate to the cause from afar)
1. I don’t like fun, winning things, celebrating good causes with people, seeing children smile, or feeling good. (Uhhh, I don’t know what to say…are we friends?)
