Super Bowl preparations

1/12/2006

To get ready for the Feb. 5 Super Bowl in Detroit between "Seattle and New England" (or fill in your dream match-up here) there are two weekend races in Michigan: Saturday in Adrian and Super Sunday in Novi. Both will help to dent the massive calorie totals that will be racked up later on game day.

• The Frosty 5 Trail Run is Feb. 4 at Heritage Park, Stubnitz Center, in Adrian (9 a.m.). Call 517-266-6344 for more information on this 5-mile run.

• The Superbowl 5K is Feb 5. at the Novi Running Fit (9 a.m.). All finishers will receive a beer mug, which will be handy for drinking out of or crying into later.
