This Sunday on May 2^nd, the Sporting Life 10K run is taking place once again. The run goes from the Sporting Life store on Yonge & Castlefield all the way to Fort York. The run is to raise money and awareness for Camp Oochigeas. Camp Ooch is a camp for kids who have cancer. At my school, The York School, every year we have a massive fundraiser for Camp Ooch, where we are able to send many kids to camp and help them raise lots of money. We work very closely with Camp Ooch, and we continue our support whenever we can. For the past two years now, I have wanted to do this 10K run, but never got around to doing it so this year I told myself, this is the year you are going to run.

Lots of people have been training for this run for months, but I unlike most, do things at the last minute. I only signed up for the run last night, which gives me only about six days to actually train so I don’t kill myself running. I don’t plan on running the whole way, but it would be nice to be able to run for parts of it. I’m really excited to do this because it’s my first marathon! I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m a little nervous that I’m going to get lost in the crowd however because I am doing this run alone and I’m not a big person; and a little person in a sea of people…doesn’t sound too fun. Hopefully everything goes great and I’m not the last person to complete it! I’ll blog about my experience and how I did after the run.
