Road Race?

Hold on to your hats!!! It was an odd decision reached between me and some friends. I've been going to the gym. They have been walking at home on their treadmills. AND when the weather is nice (which hasn't been often) we try to get together to walk. So yesterday I was out on a local web-site for running. More so to find a sneaker fitter in SC for a health fair - but ended up looking through the races. There are 2 in March - a 5k through the YMCA uptown and a 4 mile race nother right down the road for St. Patrick's Day. We joked that maybe we should do that one so we could drink beer after...My goal is the 15 minute mile thing - I know NOT running pace but....So I will keep you all posted.
