It dawned on me in the middle of my lasagna that the Chuck Lelas Memorial 10k walk/run is next month almost to the day. I haven’t run an inch since March…early March. If you do the math, a 10k isn’t a stroll in the park. It’s over six freakin’ miles. That’s many, many, many inches.
The background (my background) on the CLM walk/run is this. My friend S asked me to walk it with her two years ago. I think we came in dead last. At least, after we crossed the finish line they shut the clock off…what does that tell you? No matter. We were having too good of a time gabbing to really worry about PRs and beating the clock (as if!). I skipped last year’s walk due to a little 13.1 miler I was running for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, but this year I’m back…and stressing about half that distance.
Briefly, the Chuck Lelas Memorial Walk/Run is dubbed the “You Gotta Have Heart” event and this marks the 4th year of it’s existence. The money goes for scholarships in Chuck’s name. My personal tie to this charity event? S and the fact that Chuck was a coach where I work.

i’m off to the gym today too! my “training” has fallen by the wayside, but i’m hoping to do 4 miles (1 hour+) today.
i’ll let you know how it goes 🙂
You can do it kiddo! If participation is the key goal, and time is no object … you can take the 10K as fast or slow as you choose. Someone always has to bring up the rear 🙂
aww thanks! Participation and FINISHING are the main goals. Time is definitely not a factor this time. Par for the course, right Sarah? 😉
lol. time is not an issue. besides i’m sure you’ll come in before Greg and I.
