Great cause there Sally,
5km’s to me isn’t a great deal, will be doing a 21km’s half marathon in a few weeks that will really test me :O

No Nonsense Landlord That’s an impressive speed! I’m happy with my ~8 minute miles : )

Running is great exercise, but hard on the joints. I used to run a mile in 5;32, as late as my early 20s. I likes to run a 5 mile run, just on a whim.

Good for you for taking part in this! I’m not much of a runner, but my wife has done a number of runs to support breast cancer as we have a close family friend who had stage 3 and is now in remission.

My biggest one was when I did the avon breast cancer 3-day walk. That was a time commitment for training…yes just for walking. I also raised close to 5k for the livestrong foundation and did several of their charity bike rides. I’ve scaled back a bit due to my budget, but I’d love to do an obstacle course run, but maybe not the super challenging ones like tough mudder. I’m tired of getting injured! :)

I run for fun, but when I ran the NYC marathon last year it was for Fred’s Team- the cancer research program at a hospital here in NYC. I was able to raise $4,000.

I have never run to raise money for a cause. I think it is agreat way to raise awareness for so many important causes. Eventually I would love to do the MS150. It’s a cause near and dear to my heart as my Grandma has been suffering from this disease for many years.
