I am not a runner, firstly because I have annihilated my hips knees and ankles with years of basketball and martial arts and the doctors have told me not to. This is awesome as I think it is so boring and only just shades swimming for the most mind numbing form of exercise. Gotta be running kicking or bouncing a ball to make it interesting for me. In saying that I am taking my kids to the colour run as they will love it and I can walk as fast as they can run at this age. Didn't look into it I guess but I was pretty sure the money (ir at least part if it) went to charity
