Here's my story.. I run a 5K myself, at least once a week, and sometimes twice a week. This is a goal that I have set for myself and accomplished a little less than a year ago. I have been asked several times to run an official 5K and I have declined every time. I have declined because I don't want to run because I am being forced, I run because I actually like to! Tunnels to Towers has been one run that I have been very interested in and I get the opportunity to do every year and I decline every year. The first time I was asked I couldn't even run around the block. Well, this year I got the announcement of the race coming up and sign up.. well it's time! I am going to be running this 5K for many reasons. I feel that it is a very powerful and meaningful run that I will never forget as my first.. and even if it's my last, all I will get from it, is that I did it. And as I understand all the fundraising runs are for a wonderful purpose, this one to me feels like I have to! Especially since I can do it!
