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.
