Wellness Week 5K - Walk/Run
Join your fellow law students and log in 3.1 miles!

Zoom hosted by 1L Mark Houle. From Mark:

Looking to escape pressure of finals and law school? Let’s make a run for it Monday 30 November 2020. Let’s get as many people as we can to do a self-paced 5k run together working on our endorphins, serotonin, physical fitness, etc.

In my 20’s I was in the 82nd Airborne Division where daily runs of 5 to 10 miles were mandatory, which resulted in me hating running. Years later I was too focused on lifting weights, and not at all happy with my weight or physical fitness. When I just happened to read an article that you can be a runner, and all you have to do is decide to be a runner. It doesn’t matter how far you run, how fast you run, how ridiculous you look, how much of a struggle it is, or if you have to stop. You can be a runner, and all you have to do is run with no rules or requirements. It was very freeing for my mind. I started running that day only making one very rough mile. Day by day I ran one driveway further than the day before. I lost 68 pounds, and gained so much more in the process. I lowered my high blood pressure and cholesterol to normal levels. But don’t let thoughts of drastic results get in your way. Just keep moving forward. That is where your goal is and that is enough.

Anyone who wants to do it, let’s run a 5k together to kick off wellness week. Don’t be afraid. Let’s get Healthy UB LAW! High Noon, be there or be yeller.

*anyone who is not sure if they are healthy enough to run a 5k should consult their physician
