To 5K or not to 5K?

That is the question.

There is a 5K run in October to benefit breast cancer research. I am seriously considering running in it. Am I crazy? A runner I am not. But a champion of breast cancer research I am.

Problem is the training and the motivational factor. I like my leisurely runs. I push myself a bit when I feel I can go no more, but I don't over do it. I don't constantly repeat the mantra "no pain, no gain." Perhaps I should.

Maybe this 5K is the fire I need under my flabby butt to get me going.

Don't think of it as a race. Just run at your own pace and mission will be accomplished. Proud of you! Can't do any runs, only walks.
