Harry's Spring Run Off Toronto 8k

The second annual Harry's Spring Run-Off 8k & 5k to Fight Prostate Cancer in Toronto will take place on April 7, 2007 at High Park, a month after Harry's Spring Run-Off 8K to Fight Prostate Cancer unfolds on March 11, 2007 in Vancouver's Stanley Park.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer threat to Canadian men. It will afflict one out of six men in their lifetime – approximately 20,500 men this year alone. Men over the age of 45 are urged to speak to their doctors about testing. Once again, proceeds in Toronto will be donated to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, while in Vancouver, proceeds will be donated to the Prostate Centre at Vancouver General Hospital.

This will be my first time participating in this race--I have signed up for the 8K, where I plan on achieving a Personal Best (PB). Given the state of my right foot, I am hesitant to say that I will achieve this goal, but I will try to while minimizing my risk of injury. The last thing I want is to cause are more serious injury which may prevent me from training for several weeks.
