I spent Sunday morning walking at Race to Deliver, a walkathon/jogathon/race/fundraiser to benefit God's Love, We Deliver, a non-profit organization that provides free daily meals to people who are home bound due to diseases like HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening diseases.This was my fourth year participating in the race and I have to admit, it was my fastest time too. I finished the 4-mile (6.4 kilometers) race in about 1 hour 15 minutes.

c'est bien toutes ces courses pour de bonnes causes. des gens courageux...j'en ai vu une, dans central park une année, c'etait impressionnant le monde qu'il y avait...
Ming that is great! What a wonderful cause you are helping. Very inspiring.
Well done ;)it's great to get involved in a race fundraiser !
When will you start to use meters and kilometers and all other kinds if centi-measures? Even the British are doing an effort! Each time you make or read a US-linked message you have to translate in your head, open an conversion site... !! :-) Please do something!! Now, I don't know if this was fast or not! (Good that you have hours and minutes like elsewhere!) :-)
You did real good. I couldn't walk that far. Did you mean a non-organization? I assume you did as it is there and I have never seen a mistake in your written English before.
I would need a really good reason to run, walk or jog four miles.
Well done, Ming!
Well done, Ming!
Abe - Thanks for noticing the typo. It should say, "non-profit".
Peter - I think the schools are slowing teaching the metric system but in every day use, we're still stuck with the old system. Strange but true.
Wow, what a great initiative! Good that there are people like this, you included, that will take the time to help others. It inspires. Wonder what I could do...
Bravo Ming!
OK, it's a nice cause and so you're forgiven for not paying your visits in the blogosphere... ;))
1H15m for the 6.4 km? Kenenisa Bekele, beware... ;))
Have a great week!!
I hate running that's why I couldn't participate to this kind of race.
Congratulations Ming, that's a great performance !!
For christmas, there is a concert for poor children in my city organized by a non profit organisation. You don't pay a ticket to enter and see the artists play, but you give a toy.
It's called "Les rockeurs ont du coeur"
great job ming!
Impressive :-)
Well done, a great way to spend a morning!
Hope you're not stiff and sore tomorrow.
Great job! Glad you had your best finish...and thanks for running to help support those who have life-threatening diseases.
Good for you!
