You and everyone else in the United States aims to shed a few pounds in 2011. Predictably, you'll talk about it the week after New Year’s Eve, go for one jog around the block, realize that exercise hurts, and then never make another move.

Until the first week of 2012, of course.

Congratulations. You are generic.

Don't be that way. Get the jump on your new path to a non-squishy self during the Midnight Madness 3 Mile. Join other fitness hopefuls (and annoying fitness fanatics) for this New Year’s Eve race that takes off from the Rose Mofford Sports Complex.
