Because apparently running IS addictive

I've been checking out this site, which primarily is a compendium of PNW events. I'm thinking about doing more 10ks and 12ks — 5s seem to be over really quick. And there are a lot of triathlons and duathlons going on right now as well as marathons and half-marathons (which are a little further than I really care to go).

There's a 10k in Tacoma called the "Bank to Bay," but it's a day after a Fort Lewis muddy 5K with a lot of obstacles, which sounds fun too. Then, of course, there are a couple of "Bun Runs" which are sponsored by nudist camps and, apparently, clothing optional. Yes, I'm sure it seems like streaking on the surface, but in reality, I'm sure even the most die-hard naturists have to give comfort its due, if you know what I mean.

I also found a pace calculator, which let me know I ran the S2N in less than 11 minutes a mile. Not a lot less, but it was an ego boost just the same.
