Description

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: A FREAK ACCIDENT SPURS MICHAEL TO ORGANIZE AN EMPLOYEE CHARITY RUN - THE OFFICE, SEASON 4 EP. 1&2

Join us in the REVIVED: Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin SPRINGFIELD Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure ! We are calling ALL Office Fans to join us in the 1 Mile, 5k, 10k, or Virtual Run to re-live The Office episode "Fun Run" in REAL LIFE! Come on out to see Meredith being hit by Michaels car (just for fun) and breaking her pelvis, the office donate a $340 dollar check to a "Rabies Doctor"/nurse, Andy prevent chafed nipples, Jim and Pam buy a vase, and Michael on the side of the road with an alfredo sauce sickness! 

Don't worry though, this event will be a looped course, NOT 5 kilometers away from the start like in the "Fun Run" episode ;)

Michael: This is going to be a very good year. Very good. Jan is at home. Jim is back. My protege Ryan is at corporate. Good stuff. Um… Andy and Dwight are rockin’ the sales team. I feel very blessed. [slams on breaks, camera turns, Meredith rolls off the hood]

"World's Best Fun Run"

Michael: Guess what, I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I don’t know. I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I’ll hit somebody with my car. So sue me… No, don’t sue me. That is the opposite of the point that I’m trying to make.

Jim: One day Michael came in complaining about a speed bump on the highway. I wonder who he ran over then.

Favorite Episode Quotes

Michael: Ok, well I did not get the job in New York, but I got the real prize, domestic bliss. Jan made me breakfast this morning… well she bought the milk. It’s soy. [walks into bedroom, Jan sleeping on bed] This is why I do it, that’s what I have to come home to. [sighs] She probably won’t be up for a few hours.

Michael: Guess what, I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I don’t know. I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I’ll hit somebody with my car. So sue me… No, don’t sue me. That is the opposite of the point that I’m trying to make.

Jim: One day Michael came in complaining about a speed bump on the highway. I wonder who he ran over then.

Michael: Well, I am taking responsibility. It is up to me to get rid of the curse that hit Meredith with my car. I’m not superstitious, but… I’m… I am a little-stitious.

Creed: I’ve been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.

Pam: They say if you’re nervous around someone you should picture them naked. I do not recommend this strategy. Try picturing them with more clothes on… or a funny coat.

Andy: [in bathroom] I’m petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts it is a vicious circle. If you have sensitive nipples, they chafe, so they become more sensitive, so they chafe more. So… I take precautions. [tapes a cotton ball to each nipple]

Michael: Check that out. [points to Toby] Look at me, I’m Toby, I’m stretching, I know what I’m doing. Why is he even here?

Michael: You got it?
Dwight: Mm-hmm.
Michael: OK, fettuccine alfredo, time to carbo-load.

Stanley: Oh yes I will work out today. I will work out a way to avoid running for a stupid cause.

Andy: I’ve walked 2 marathons. Pretty sure I can handle a 5k. Key is drafting, eliminate wind resistance. [running right behind Kevin]
