I don't recall the first 5k I entered into - I could probably go through my journals and have some sort of idea when I first mentioned training for one - but I was in my 30s and never thought of myself as a runner. Mostly I was interested in getting long distance endurance and this seemed a good way to do it.
I have done a lot of events in the intervening years. Countless 5ks, a fe quarter marathons, two Dances with Dirt 5ks (not fast, but done), and a bunch of attempted 10ks and several completed, and even an attempted 10-miler.
This year, on the occasion of my semicentennial, I decided to go for a charity bib. New challenge - do a 10k and raise money.
I decided to join Dougie's Team for Autism because of the direct support they offer families with autism. Please consider helping me reach my goal.
Thanks and I hope to see you on the course.
