You can’t avoid the holiday sugar madness. If you work in an office someone is bringing a cookie, brownie or heaping pile of chili to your cube right as I type this. Then there are all those coffee shops tempting you with their super yummy (re: fatty) egg nog lattes. And don’t forget about the bars and holiday parties. I swear, I think I’ve done more drinking in the last few weeks than I have in all my sorority years.

So instead of hiding in the biggest, longest sweater (that you should only be wearing with pants, not tights – I repeat tights are not pants, you heard it hear first) here’s your chance to burn off a few calories tonight.
Join Fleet Feet Sports in Capitol Hill at 6pm for a 5k walk/run. From their site, it looks like it’s a free race (which is very rare) AND best of all, creative costumes will be rewarded. I know, I know – who has the time to find a Santa outfit when the race is tonight? Well, don’t sweat it. You can also bring a gift (blankets, coats, toys, gift cards, etc) and still be entered to win fun stuff from Oddfellows Building supply drive drawing.
So if you happen to have your walking shoes on today, then help a good cause, possibly win something fun and burn off that candy cane you just ate for breakfast
