Pretend you're an Airplane?

What’s that on the Ground? Is it a Plane?

Happy Holidays everyone! Now I don’t to pressure anyone in San Carlos… but let’s face it we are probably all going to over do it at the dinner table this holiday season. Our pants will get a little tighter and we will all have a little more jiggle in our walk; it’s likely San Carlos will sink a little into the soil from the extra weight. Now, I don’t want to discourage anyone in San Carlos from such festivities, but I am offering some fun corrective action… after the holidays start training for the annual Airport Runway Run at the San Carlos CA local municipal airport. Come on, how often do you get a chance to hold your arms out and pretend you’re an airplane running down an actual runway. Yes, they close the Airport to airplane traffic, and you get to run on the runway like an airplane getting ready to take off. Heck, strap on a pair of wings and see if you can run fast enough to take off! I bet you can do it!!!

No worries if you’re not a real runner or an airplane – they have many choices for attendees. Everyone that enters can choose between a 2k, 5k, and 10k shuffling of the legs – not sure we can really call what everyone does as actual “running.” But that’s ok, families attend and just walk it together too. You can even opt-in for a goodie bag that includes an event t-shirt so you can brag to your friends that you ran a 5k while everyone tries to guess what that is in miles!

This event is on April 16, 2023 @8AM so you got a full three months after the holidays to train for it… or not. Either way it’s a pretty cool event and it might just motivate you to reduce that holiday jiggle and rescue that top button on your pants from popping out. So, save the date, be safe while you train, and come have a little fun in San Carlos CA while pretending to be an airplace.
