Footfalls for the Foolish

A friend wants me to run the Gasparilla this time around. This February. I don’t want to. To be fair, there are a lot of don’t want tos in play – I don’t want to disappoint my friend. I don’t want to spend the money to go to Florida when San Diego is in my future. I don’t want to leave work for any amount of time. But, but. But! Most importantly, I don’t want to run unless it’s for a good cause. Give my legs something to fight for. I don’t want to run down my runners just for the sake of a silly race. Give me a charity and I’m up for the challenge. I just don’t know what to tell my friend.
