    Just yesterday I registered for my 1st 5K run on Sunday, October 21st. It's called Paul's Run4Epilepsy, in honor of a young man who died from a heart attack while having a seizure, just before his 22nd birthday in 2008. My own son has epilepsy and just turned 22, so it's very emotional for me. I hope I don't start crying while trying to run. The proceeds go to The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago.

    My point - it's for a good cause, and you'll probably feel great doing it. Good luck to us both.:wink:

    I did a 5k zombie run; I will say it motivated me to get in shape really really well.

    Go for it.....you'll get some great exercise in for a good cause.
    I just walked in a Komen 5K last weekend, walked in a memorial walk in July.....and would do more, but my very RURAL location makes it kind of difficult.
