Friday April 23 update: 103 pictures from the Running of the Pigs 5k posted by The Sporting Life.
Thursday April 22 update: Fourteen more race reports/picture sites have been added. I also added a pretty lame preview of this weekend's races. The only thing lamer than that preview is my attitude about racing the Get In Gear. If you've ever dreamed of beating an over-the-hill never-was like me, this weekend those dreams will probably come true.
Did I say I'd get to the roundup Monday night? That was crazy talk. I meant I'd think about blogging Monday night but get around to it Wednesday. Away we go....

Upcoming Races
Okay so I totally dropped the ball here and did not summarize this weekend's races. I am in the virtual doghouse. Consider it a one time slip up, until I do it again. Then it will be a two, three, four, five time slip up, whatever the case may be.
As the fire of my old blog turned to ash in 2008, I did write a little piece after the TC5k proposing a little something I call the Lazy Mike 5k. Well, gentle reader, consider this to be Lazy Mike's Preview of this weekend's races.
Get In Gear Races Has anyone heard of this race? Some obscure race that no one does. It goes along something called East and West River Road. Anyone know where that is? Crap, I still need to sign up... Hold on a sec.... Well I'm back now and that sucked. The very close and loyal reader of this blog should have figured out now that I'm not a big fan online registration fees, especially a certain non-local site that bombards you with unwanted offers and advertisements as you register. So I urge you all to go to your local running store to sign up. Say hi to the folks working there. Support our local running scene and save $2.50 in registration fees. END SOAPBOX SPEECH HERE.
Other Saturday Races: There is a race in Waconia.
The Ice Age Trail 50k will be going on (but I think it may be a little late to start training for that one).
WAIT! WHAT? there's a marathon in Nisswa, MN and the winning time last year was a 2:43. Who knew?
Let's see, there's some sort of row-ride-run triathlon in Winona. Again, not a good one to do if you plan on starting your training program tomorrow.
And people are kicking couches in Mankato. Oh wait, that's the name of the 5k. Unlike the aforementioned races, this one sounds like one you can do with little training between now and the race.
Sunday's Races The Run for Justice 5k is a good low-key race. There is also a race walk in the STLP, which I know is harder than it looks.
Okay that was a really lame rundown of the races.
For those of you doing Get In Gear. See you there, and if you write a race report, you'll see it here.
