So yesterday I could hardly walk from running a full 5K the day before (I have been doing a combination of running and walking) but did it anyway. Today I felt better, but I still just walked the full 5K. I know this isn't a shock to anyone, but walking a 5K takes a whole heck of a lot longer than running a 5K. I know, breaking news and all.
Anyway, I was trying to think back to when I last ran a 5K, and I think I narrowed down to either 10th or 11th grade at my hometown festival. (Last month I walked 6 miles in New York to get from the rental car company place to my brother's condo, but I'm talking about actually walking fast/running) That means (yes, I'm getting old) that approximately 25 years ago was the last time I participated in an actual 5K run.
Why am I doing this? Because I want to raise money for Love146, an organization that is devoted to ending child sex slavery. Because I'm looking at these 50 days as a journey with physical and spiritual ramifications. And because I want to raise awareness about what goes on in the world today: the exploitation of children sexually.
Will you support me in my endeavor? You can go here.

5K for 50 Days
So I never got around to blog about that book. Maybe later.
I am, however, doing a lot of running/walking these days. I have decided to join my fellow task force leaders in being part of "Tread On Trafficking" this May and June. Tread On Trafficking is a virtual run/walk that is talking place all over the U.S. and Europe where participants walk/run/exercise in order to raise money and awareness for Love146 and what they are doing.
At first I decided to run/walk 150 miles in 50 days. However, I decided that wasn't very catchy. So now I am running/walking a 5K every day for 50 days. If you are interested in sponsoring me, you can go to my personal Tread On Trafficking page which can be found here. Below you will see a humorous commercial for Tread On Trafficking starring my new (and only) favorite golfer, Ben Crane.
