Run, Forrest, Run!

It's not every day you get to don your running shoes at midnight and take off on a 5K. But here in Columbus, you do get to do that once a year. The annual Country's Midnight Run, sponsored by Country's Barbecue, is this Saturday/Sunday. The festivities begin at 4 p.m. and go into the evening. I'd be there except, well, it's at midnight. Plus it's been so hot around here lately, it's bound to be steaming, even at the late hour. For more details, check out this little ditty from our paper. The cool thing is, this event has become a long-time tradition and it benefits charity. As well as giving people the chance to run off copious calories consumed at Country's. (Rumor has it that they pass out BBQ sandwiches and tea after the run. Sweet.)
