Next Up: New Year's Day 5K

The weather is iffy for running these days, but chances are good the footing will be OK on Jan. 1 for the 26th annual New Year's Day 5K Run & Walk. Organizers predict about 1,500 runners and walkers for the event that starts at Stockton and LaSalle in the south end of Lincoln Park in Chicago. Here's to a great 2011 for runners. This race is a great way to get things started on the right foot!
