[FitnessBrat]

I'm signing up for this 5k next month. Has anyone ever done one of these? It looks like so much fun!


I need help coming up with a clever "team" name! :panic: Any ideas??

5k's are fun. I've done several for the " Wounded Warrior Project ". Just go out and have fun. Keep us updated on your training for it, if you are, lol. If you want another great, fun, challenge, do tough mudder. It's a blast!!!

[FitnessBrat]

How about " THE FITNESS BRATS! " lol...

I think this one will just end up being for fun bc my son wants to go, too. I'd rather we all get outside and do something fun and outdoors than worry about "racing" :)
I'm also going to look into Tough Mudder and I think I just missed Warrior Dash.

I am all about giving to our troops and veterans, but Wounded Warrior is a messed up "charity". I would do more digging into their organization before I supported them.

Few quick facts:
CEO of WW makes 300k


Sorry, but I have a problem when a "charity" is paying mega bucks to the people running it.

Quick stuff from the web:


FYE 2009 Officer salaries = $700,301
FYE 2010 Officer Salaries = $1,021,638

So here's the breakdown -
2008 - 64%
2009 - 62%
2010 - 65% of all expenses paid (out of CASH donated*) being used for veteran/wounded programs.

* Some of WWP's donations are "in kind" rather than cash - such as advertising time on radio and TV.

A+ charities should have 80% + going to programs. Even 75% would be better.

Just think what 10% more for programs could accomplish - we ALL owe it to our veterans to hold accountable the charities that we donate our money to.
