I am a runner.
I may not be the fastest but I am also not the slowest.
Moving to India was hard on me running wise. It's not safe to run here. I put running off to the side thinking I would start again at our next post.
But I missed it because, you see, I am a runner.
We bought a treadmill. I put on some music, turn the air down, and zone out. It's not ideal but I'm running again.
A friend of mine started a group to do a 5K a Day in May. There's an app called Charity Miles that uses GPS to track distance and donates 25 cents a mile to a charity of your choice. How awesome is that? You go out and do something you love and the app donates money! It doesn't work with treadmills obviously but I'm still doing the challenge and raising the money on my own.
Everything we raise this month goes to the charity Stand Up To Cancer.
So today was day 1. I ran my 5K in 35:17 - 11:20/mile. Its not a PR but i'm just getting back into running seriously after major surgery six months ago. I can't wait to see what my time is at the end of the month.
I am a runner and, this month, I run in honor of all those that I know who have been affected by cancer.
