Summer is ALMOST here, and your goal of getting in shape is already dwindling. For much of the first half of this year, you told yourself you were going to work on that summer beach bod. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that is happening. So why not just enjoy your summer with whatever body you are currently working with? While you are at it, put down the salad and grab a donut. Maybe do a couple of "16-ounce curls" and crack open a beer.

There are tons of 5k fun runs/walks. But, you have to be in shape to enjoy them. Even if you are just walking, it can be exhausting. If only there was something a little more of your style. Something that involved cold beer instead of water bottles. Or donuts at every checkpoint. That's what the Lard Butt 1K is all about.

According to the Facebook event page

Fellow Lard Butts, Last summer we had had a glorious 1K in Missoula and this July 22, we have a bigger, better venue at Fort Missoula State Park. Who's in for making some Lard Butt history with us??
