Running a 5k?! Blasphemy! Hello comrades,  I've apparently shocked some of our larger counterparts. I have a 5k "walk" coming up and I was expressing my desire to run it because I'm not about to spend 10,000 years walking a 5k when running is an option.  Upon hearing this, some fatties (even a few humans!) Looked at me like whaaaaaaat?! Why would you run?! [Insert excuses involving heat, muh knees, laziness ect.]  Have we fallen so far that now a 3.5 mile flat trail is a daring feat for young, normal adults?! No wonder everyone is fat.
