The Insane Inflatable 5K is coming to the UMaine campus in Orono this month and you can run with me, Erik Owens. I'll be running at 11:30 a.m.

The event should be fun for people of all levels of fitness, from health nuts to video game playing, channel surfing, couch potatoes like me. I tried to get into the whole exercise thing and run a little to get in shape for the event, but somehow I actually managed to gain weight in the process.

I blame it on a knee injury I suffered while I was running in Broadway Park. It was a brief setback in my new, grueling work out routine and I had no choice but to sit on the couch and watch Narcos on Netflix for 10 hours.

Anyway, the Insane Inflatable 5K is coming up Saturday, September 19. If you haven't registered for the event grab you friends, parents, neighbors, teammates, your local DJ, whoever.

You can run as a group and create a theme for your team. You could have a whole team of superheroes, cartoon characters or even Elvis impersonators.

Don't forget, if you register by Friday night at midnight you'll save money on registration fees.

Hope to see you there!
